We're Back!! : )

And just in time for the new year. We apologize for the long break in posts.. we have had technical difficulties. So let's catch up... we are going to start with pics of Dw's birthday in September.

Group Shot... Tristan & Lillie came to help celebrate.

Pinata fun!

Such a big boy.
Mazzy joined in the festivities too.
Daddy's great creation.

Wild Boys

Kavan has become really good on the jungle gym at the park, now he can get up the stairs and down the slide by himself with no problem. He is really proud of himself.

Dw trying to stomp on it.
The boys gaining up on Trevor in the pool

Look! I'm a big boy.

Kavan has decided he can run with the pack now. He has been insisting that he is ready to eat at the table instead of the highchair and today he saw a opportunity to show his Mama he is ready. Kavan climbed up onto Dws chair and began to eat the bowl of oatmeal I left for his brother. It was so cute, oatmeal was everywhere! But at least he uses a napkin.

This week Kavan also ate a full size pop all by himself. ;-)

Summer Days

Here are some pics of how the boys are spending their summer so far. We wish we could see you all, we will be missing the fun at Good Harbor and Plum Cove this year. :(

Kavan swinging with his cousin Lillie.

Pool fun in the back yard, funny how dirt toys make fun water toys also.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Today was a fun day for the boys with their dad. We started the day at an annual Father's Day car show and followed it with an afternoon of great food, swimming and great dessert with friends.

The boys sharing the best Root Beer and toffee ice cream sandwich with Dad.

What are the boys up to?

Kavan has been uses his push car more and more.... this week he has started pushing in the forward motion. He has started saying juice, thank you and the beginnings of the word table

and stinky.

Here, Dw thinks Kavan needs a push getting along... but the look on Kavan's face said otherwise.
Dw loves his Thomas trains! Here he is trying so hard to keep everything on schedule. And you don't want to mess up his schedule....you'll get a big fit over that!
He will keep himself busy for long lengths of time pulling and rearranging them..he loves the way they stick front to back with magnets.
Kavan has become quite a climber.... he started on the couch to make it over to the ottoman...
"Yeah"... he is so proud he made it!
Today the boys finished their dinners with some drinks.... cheers brother!

Kavan The Brut

Kavan is really coming into his own these days. His is picking up more and more words everyday..... today it was Dora. Earlier this week he started saying the beginnings of the word back pack. So far he can say the words "ice", "moon", "go -go" (that's for "I want to go bye- bye") and oow. He has started to say "Da" for dad. Kavan has become our little brut these days with Dw also, often trying to bum rush and tackle him. It's almost time for the boxing gloves!

The boys will drive their cars on whatever they can.

This just today..Dw aggravating Kavan....
Kavan tries to move..Dw goes after him (they don't know I'm watching)...
Then Kavan turns around and climbs on top of Dw attacking him...while Dw cries for help.
He looks so big here.

Kavan also likes to brush his teeth... as soon as he gets sight of the brush he insists on having to use it, same with Dw.

The boys 1st Air Show

Today we took Kavan and Dw to the annual Hemet Ryan Air Show down the street from our house. The boys are really into planes right now, always having to point out and wave to one when it goes by. Here are some shot from our afternoon.

This is a shot of a rescue helicopter showing us a demonstration... the boys really got a kick out of that- they were close.

"See, see, it right there!"

Dw was so excited bouncing around all over.

In this shot there was a big group of sky divers coming down with smoke trails.
Here is a plane doing twirls.
These are those sky divers now with there parachutes out, gliding around the sky.
"There it is."
We saw lots of cool old planes today.
