Some random pictures

Here are a few random pictures from this week that I really liked but not enough of any one situation to do a blog, enjoy.

Loving his football tent from Aunt Jan, he has even had lunch in it a couple times!

four month and two year pics

We had the boys four month and two year pictures taken on Darren's birthday. There might be a few more of Braden because Darren was not the most cooperative, we did manage to get a few gorgeous ones though. Both boys I think did very well considering they both had their well checks and shots less than an hour before pics.
Their well checks were good, Braden is 16 pounds and Darren is 24 pounds, both perfectly healthy little boys!

Happy Birthday Darren

Today is my loves second birthday! He is so so amazing and could never picture my life without him. Happy Birthday my sweet boy.

Darren's party

Although a little cranky at the beginning of the party because he missed his nap, I think Darren had a really good time at his party. We had 11 kids which made for a full house. We had a craft table set up where the kids made personalized picture frames with glitter and foam stickers and also had a design a mug station where the kids colored pictures of Mickey mouse and then the pictures fit into mugs that they could take home (I'll post a picture of Darren's later, they turned out so cute). After crafts the kids all had fun playing with toys in Darren's room and munching on Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets. The pinata was super fun and glad we had a couple older kids to finally break it open. Darren got lots of great toys and clothes for his birthday, thank you to everyone!

After the party ended, I went to feed Braden and asked Tim to keep an eye on Dare. I heard laughing in the other room so went out to find that Darren had climbed up on the kitchen table and helped himself to five cupcakes! He had licked all the frosting off each one and then threw them under the table!!! He didn't get in much trouble since it was his birthday and Daddy was supposed to be watching, gotta love em' though!

four months old

Braden is four months old! He is doing very well, such a loving little guy. Everything is making its way to his mouth lately, bibs toys, hands...everything. He is also trying so hard to sit up, every time I lay him down he tries to lift his little head and shoulders up, I think he has a few months to go on that one though.

a very tolerant doggy

Baron does so well with our boys, we are so lucky that he is good with them and puts up with a lot. He gets buried in laundry on almost a daily basis and gets his toys taken away from him (but I'm pretty sure he likes that part since he brings them right back to Darren after he throws them). He probably also doesn't mind that Dare tends to give four or five treats instead of one. It's a good trade off for being so patient with them!

Bounce a Rama

Darren went to the coolest place for a birthday partyfor our friend Tyler last weekend, Bounce a Rama. I had never heard of it before, it is in the Great Mall and is a giant building filled with different bounce houses and an arcade. They even had a separate room with miniature bounce houses and games for toddlers (we stayed in there for the most part). Very cool and kicks off our crazy birthday month, we have five birthday parties to go to this month, not including Darren's!!!

Braden rolled over!

Despite feeling a little under the weather, Braden rolled over for the first time today! We had just started tummy time and he looked over his shoulder to see the T.V. and rolled right over. I put him back on his tummy to take pictures and he rolled over the other direction. And now begins the long road of chasing around two babies!
