1 year pictures

Oh man - I almost missed posting these pictures.  Boomer in his crib at one year old!!!  He only let me take his picture for a few minutes before he started protesting having to stay in the crib.  Dad rescued him!!!!

First Snow

I'm trying to catch up on a few blog posts that didn't get on due to October craziness, and I didn't want to miss the first snow fall.  The boys were pushed outside and told to have fun while Boomer watched from inside.  Soon Boomer, soon!!!!

And there are a few pics of Boomer working with Daddy.  We don't have doors for our office, so Boomer crawls right in and sometimes Dad lets him up.  Dad hands him a calculator and together they work for probably 30 seconds :)

Boomer's first cake

Although Boomer missed out on his official first bite of cake, we did have our little family celebration and cake with Boomer on his actual birthday.  He definitely loved the attention, but when we put a piece of cake in front of him.....he just looked at it and tried to figure out why we weren't helping him out with it!  Eventually Doug fed him a few pieces and we put a few bite size ones on his tray, but it was pretty priceless.  Boomer likes to bite and swallow(and barely chew), so I'm super cautious with the size of food on his tray! :)

Moe is 5!

Moe turned five years old today and was so excited to celebrate his day!  It started last night with a night out with Dad and Charlie at a hotel - so it doesn't get much better than that!  Staying up late, going swimming, and getting hotel breakfast :).

Moe is definitely growing up!  He loves all things school, school bus, and really, anything that his big brother likes too.  He is catching on to his new scooter, loves swimming - he is a fish in the water, and he can wrestle Charlie to the ground so much better than I ever could.  He is quick to make friends, and definitely is sympathetic when someone is hurt.  He has a gentle heart, a loud voice, and the brightest smile.

Party Time

As I said in the last post, the boys had their long awaited party at an indoor trampoline park.  They were soooo excited to have a party at a place other than the gym/hotel, and I knew they would have a great time.  Only problem was that Moe really wasn't feeling good.  He got sick with the same bug Charlie and Boomer had on Wednesday/Thursday, and had even thrown up the night before.  UUUHHHHH - if it hadn't had been his party, he wouldn't have gone.  BUT - he went and he had a great time.  He just didn't eat much and from what I heard, he was exhausted at bedtime.

The only decorations I did were number balloons and sugar cookies as the take home gift.  I had no idea how much those crazy balloons cost, but the boys were excited when they saw them!!!!  And the cookies - I have one pictures of them, but boy, they were a hit with both the kids and the adults.

Charlie and Moe had a great day celebrating their birthdays and I am still in shock that our boys are 7 and almost 5!!!  And the pictures of Boomer with his number were just from a few days ago ;)
