Mario and Luigi!

So, Jack was Mario and Kyler was Luigi this year for Halloween. They were the cutest! Mama Mia! They had a costume parade at school on Thursday and had so much fun asking for "treat or treats". Even Jack was into getting candy. What a great time!

Nothing New

We are just getting all moved in to our new house and I've neglected to take pictures or update my blog, so here are a few recent pictures of us. Boy do we grow up fast!

Animal Farm

Jack and Kyler's cousin, Jenna had a birthday party on Saturday, complete with petting zoo and pony rides. The boys loved every second of it. Thanks for the fun, Petersons!

In our spare time...

So, Kyler has started a new tradition. Apparently, he feels that when we are bored we should take off our pants and wear them as a hat. He did this to himself the other day. I was cracking up. He walked around with a flashlight and a popsicle and his pajamas on his headfor 30 minutes. Then he got bored again.

Jack is doing sooooo well. He loves school and is talking up a storm. We all just sit and laugh at him having conversations with his cars and little people. He is totally into Speed Racer and Hot Wheels movies, which is a welcome change from Thomas the Train and Elmo, but can still be just as annoying after a while.

As for me, I'm still hanging in there. I have been accepted back into college (yes, seriously) because one bachelors degree just isn't enough. I missed the registration for fall semester, which is good because of the crazy move, but I'll be taking classes in January to get into nursing school. Yay. Finally. I've been wanting to do this forever, but finally feel like I might have the time. Other than that, life is just passing me by...

First Day of School

These little guys couldn't wait for school to start! They just love every second of it. So does mom. Except for the obligatory first week of school sickness and ear infection that comes along with it. This first weekend has been full of naps and medication, but it is worth it. Kyler and Jack are growing and learning so much everyday. It is so great to see them come home with artwork and praises from their teachers.

What's new?

We've been up to no good this summer. Lots of swimming and fun activities as well as movies and games. We've stayed pretty close to home this summer, but we've had lots of fun times. Jack decided that he wants to talk, afterall. Fun! He also LOVES McDonald's ice cream cones. Kyler is enjoying spending time with Mommy since Jack has lots of therapy this summer. We get to see the pets at Petsmart all of the time. We also stopped napping during the day, as you can tell from the above photo. We're just having too much fun!

Tonsillectomy and Adnoidectomy Follies

I have been meaning to put these pictures on for a while. These are the cutest muscle shirts that Great Aunt Connie and Great Uncle Ron gave the boys a while back. So fun! Thanks for these. Okay, updates on the boys:

Jack is TALKING!!! He is saying "no" and "all done" and "nigh night" and "bye bye" and "please" and "car" and "go" and "banana" and "juice" and "water" and I could go on all day. We are so excited!!! He's loving the pool and is learning to swim so quickly. He jumps from the edge with no hesitation. My little frog.

Kyler had his surgery last Monday. He is doing great. Just a few complications with being allergic to his pain killers, but he ate a cheeseburger and fries today, so I think we're on the downhill slope! He is also loving the pool. He's not as fearless as Jack, but he's no girl :)

We're just loving playing in the pool and having a hot summer!
