@ the zoo 2009

So, in the grand tradition of us, we got the annual zoo pass. Mostly because Matt is a 6 year old, and loves to play with blake there. Here is the latest pic of them! They have so much fun together! (Sometimes I am jealous, and sometimes, I just shake my head and roll my eyes--OK I admit it!)

Yeah Matt! Class of 2009!

Well honey, it took you a while, but you stuck with it, and you are DONE! D-O-N-E!!!

We are all so proud of you! Congratulations! I love you!

PS: WE have the cutest sons ever!

Lederhosen....Es ist gut!

EW! gross lederhosen!

AW--cutest lederhosen ever!

Okay, Brooke. Where the crap did you get lederhosen (and yes, that is how it is spelled, I checked it out, and found the aformentioned gross lederhosen picture!)?

Well, I will tell you! Matt's mom visited her friend in Switzerland when Matt was little, and she came home with lederhosen for her boys.

Somewhere there is a picture of Eric and Matt together wearing it. Evidently, they wore it every sunday to CHURCH! I am a bit embarassed for them, but have to admit that dressing your child up in crazy foreigh clothes is a lot of fun! Of course it helps when your son doesn't want to take it off, and when he has a friend to frolic in lederhosen with!

PS: That is Eric's son with him (Ethan). So eventually we will have a picture of matt & eric, and then their boys wearing the same outfits! Yippee!

Just for good measure, because I am sure I will never type this again...

LEDERHOSEN, LEDEROSEN, LEDERHOSEN!

(I think it is out of my system now!)

Spring

So, Brooke was telling me that I never update the blog... Well
I would not say never. I like "infrequent."

I wish that spring lasted longer. I spent my first morning in the
yard today, and I am already dead-heading my tulips. The yellow
and red ones have only been out for a few days,
but I think that they are the best of show in our small
front yard. By the way, if you have a lawn mower,
make sure that you run it dry in the fall. It took me
FOREVER to get it to wake-up this morning after slumbering
for almost five months.

The baby's room...

Here it is! I was scared about the brown paint (it was dark! Not used to that!) But I am so glad we did it that way! Turned out cute, and I need to go get some curtains... so pretend they are there.

Blake seems to like it... we found him in there the other day...

My favorite picture of my boys... so far!!!

Okay, I promise I won't post each and every page I do, but I LOVE this picture! Such a sweet moment of my two boys meeting each other. Blake was so excited, and Connor was oblivious! LOL. I had to scrap it... It is what I do! I am addicted to designing and digital scrapping!
