Logan!

Logan is getting so big so fast! At 3 1/2 months he is very strong, he can stand on his legs, hold his head up, try to sit up, and he can now roll over. He weighs over 18 lbs. He is no longer overwelmed by his brother's and gives them big smiles when he sees them, or gets kisses from them. He laughs when they play with him, like when Hunter swings his swing so hard it bumps the shelf (with him in it), or spins his toys really fast, or when Chase crashes a car. He loves the bath, being outside, watching his brothers, playing on his playmat, sitting up, and trot trot to Boston. He is also very ticklish. He loves to kick his feet, suck his thumb, blow rassberry's and talk. often I will go in the room in the morning to check on him (after being up for a while with Chase) and he is just laying there kicking his feet, talking and blowing rassberries. Of did I mention that he already wants to watch t.v. (I really think he thinks he is older than he really is).

Chase!

Chase is my little tornado. He is a cute loveable ball of energy, who shows passion for everything. He is very specific about what he wants and knows how to communicate that to others. If Mom is unavailable to help him with something, he will try to get some other mom to help him or Hunter. When you tell him no to something, he will often look at you with a twinkle in his eye, smile, and do it anyway, nd then give you a sad look if the smile is not working to keep him out of trouble. He is very loving, and wants to be just like his big brother. He loves trains (choo -choo's), cars, trucks. exc (go - go's), and going fast, and water of any sort. He believes that if he covers his eyes, moves slowly and quietly I will not be able to see him (he uses this to sneak up to the ice cream man daily at the park). He has painted the table legs with deoderent, filled the toaster and our sd card slots on the printer with coins, changed settings on the computor, an emptied the toilet bowl by the cupfull onto the bathroom floor just to name a few.

hunter!

Hunter is a sweet, sensative kid. He is very social, has a great imagination, loves dinosaurs, trains, legos, pretending to be animals, and star wars. He loves to read and write and often creates books, soe recent titles are The parasurolophus her great adventure, star wars, and shark boy and lava girl. This year he has taken swim lessons, gymnastics and soccer. This week he participated in his school's science fair, and when he grows up he wants to be a paleantologist. In fact when I told his he was growing up to fast and to stop he said "But my I have to grow up and move out so I can become a palentologist" his father told him he was making his mother sad, so he told me "don't worry mom, I'll still come visit you" !

Chase's 2nd Birthday!

For Chase's Birthday we had a family party at home Hunter helped decorate Chase's cake and put up streamers and Balloons throughout the house. Chase recieved several new Choo - Choo's, which is his favorite toy in the world right now. The next day we took the kids to the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose. It is hard to say what was Chase's favorite, my guess would be the water play area (his second favorite thing in the world), but he also enjoyed driving the fire truck and ambulance, and the area designed for kids under 5 years old. Hunter was able to build a bridge and walk over it!

Legoland!

We diid Legoland rather quickly (just one day), by the time we got there I think we were all tired, worn out and getting ready to go home...at least the parents were! It was also very hot in Legoland and not a lot of shade to be found. Chase was too short to go on most of the rides (by about 1 inch) and did not understand why he could not ride the go go's (neither could I for that mater), he did really enjoy this little train ride (all total he rode 8 times), and their many water play areas and playgrounds. Hunter had a blast on all the rides, enjoyed the dino dig and dinocoaster, and also the minitureland with replicas of many national and international landmarks built in legos (the eifel tower, mount rushmore, new york, las vagas, and much much more, I did not get many oictures feeling the need to rest my feet and back more than wander....all that holding of a 15lb, 4oz baby wore me out!)

Disneyland!

Bobby was lucky enough to get both of Hunter's school vacations off this year so we decided to head to take advantage of our last year in CA, and our first chance at a big family vacation in years. The boys loved Disneyland and California great adventure. Hunter was big enough to go on all the rides this year, and had a blast doing so, he loves roller coasters! Chase did not always get the concept of lines and got frustrated, and ended up taking long naps everyday, but he enjoyed the rides he did go on, with "go,go's, choo choo's" and flying go go's being his favorite (translation, cars, trains, and planes, dumbos, rockets exc..). He also really ejoyed all the water in CA great adventure. Logan enjoyed all of the time being held and carried by Mom in his new sling, and now still wants to be held all the time!
