Boys in April

Gabe's favorite toy is a little ride on tractor that goes outside....he likes to ride on all sorts of trucks and 4 wheelers...even one for a toy spiderman that is about 2 inches high...good thing he's tiny.

It keeps flipping my pictures and it's a little frustrating.

The boys love watching Thunder and lightning storms...This one had quite the rainfall with it.

You just can't help but think it's cute when they climb in the dryer...They were helping me pull the clothes into the dryer but found something funner to do instead.

Hey why not bring the trains in too, it will be a party!

They are so darn handsome! Zeke was excited to get a suit with a green shirt, he picked it out and reminds me all the time green is always my favorite.

Brought a smile to your face too, didn't it?

Zeke by himself

Of course Gabe needed one by himself too.

Gabe doesn't always like naptime so here he emptied the dresser then fell asleep on the clothes...when I first walked in I didn't see him, when I found him his leg was propped up on the door and his arms were behind his head, it was super cute.

This is what happened when he refused to take a nap because he wasn't tired.

The boys love to snuggle, and they love to tackle daddy, this is a mix between the two.

Ha ha, we weren't really asleep.

wait, I want to be in the picture too...Gabe's idea of snuggling is climbing and rolling all over everyone.

Easter

Here are the boys when they first saw what the Easter Bunny brought.

Here is what they saw.

They had fun collecting eggs, off and on. It took a long time because they'd pick up a couple then want to open them or play then pick up a couple more...

They sure love wearing boots.

They got a Buzz and Woody dressup kit...I thought for sure Zeke would choose Buzz and Gabe would choose Woody but they chose opposite....not sure why the picture(s) flipped back sideways.

Poor Zeke and his big head...hats don't fit so well.

Boys in March

Here is Zeke eating his food so good, and making quite a mess of his face :)
This is a seperate occassion...still messy, and still cute!

He's always made so many different faces. I love it.




Gabe loves to get his picture taken...He's saying cheese.

Malachi really wanted us to know he was a boy. We would be looking at the heart or something but like every ten seconds he would give us another gender flash...this one is pretty obvious.

We actually went to my sister who works in labor and delivery a month earlier than the official ultrasound and played around with the machine...This is where I found out he wasn't a girl like I thought...I wasn't convinced with the first shot so even here he flashed a few times so I knew.

Here is a cute profile shot of him.

Gabriel's Birthday

Gabe loves his stuffed doggy. He doesn't have a blankey or anything but when offered the dog at bedtime he will snuggle good with it. He also points out dogs wherever we go so I decided to do a dog cake for him. He loved it! This is him saying he's two.

So cute folding his arms and getting ready to blow out his candle.

He had a hard time, he was blowing okay but must not have got close enough.

Yup, I think he liked it!

He had fun opening presents too.

Except for this one, it was actually really upsetting him. He couldn't get it to come out of the bag so he was getting frustrated, he could see what it was but it wouldn't come out.

Come on kiddo, pull, pull!

Finally, he was able to get his puppy out. The puppy barks, sighs, and walks. He had fun playing with it and copying it.

Here are the boys watching Brigham play games...totally content!

Gabe actually helped me make his cake but I forgot to take a picture, so here he is pretending to make it :)

Happy Birthday little guy, we sure love you!
