Boys boys boys



Hello everyone! It seems like it has been a while since I have posted a "normal" post. First, I want to ask you to please have patience with the appearance of this blog. Blogger is in the process of making changes, so that affects the way the graphics appear. We are trying to get everything looking great again!

These sleepy photos are from a few nights ago when we went to visit Elijah and Sammy's cousins. Elijah likes to sleep in the car and Sammy likes to chill on car rides.


For the past few weeks we have been lucky to have my cousin Trevor stop by our house on his way home from work on occasion. We are happy that our house is on his way home! Last week he brought his beautiful and sweet daughter along with him, so our boys had somebody new to play with. We love having him and Veda here! Please come back soon, guys!! Elijah and Sammy are loving the boat you left here for them to play with!


Elijah has had a VERY good past few weeks behaviorally, EXCEPT for today. We had some major upsetting incidents today, and therefore had no tv, Wii, toys or privileges. I am thankful that Dan was here to help me with everything that went down today. He will be training to help people become licensed skydivers for the next 4-5 days, so the boys and I will be solo! I am praying for continued good behavior from our oldest boy.


Sammy is quite the little talker these days. His speech improves every single day, as long as there are no "strangers" around. He is now saying 3-4-word phrases, and he knows which words make Elijah laugh and which ones make him mad. Depending on the mood, he will get right in his face and say choice words to his brother. Both boys love silly nonsense words, so that is one thing that keeps us all laughing. We hold onto anything that keeps our boys interacting.


After a rough behavior day for Elijah, we also ended the day on a rough note. While the boys were wrestling, Elijah bit Sam's butt so hard that he left a huge bite mark on his left butt cheek! Needless to say, he went to bed very early. Biting butt cheeks?! Ugh. Whatever will be in store for these two??


We are attempting to get Sammy away from sucking his thumb so much. Suggestions, anyone?


Thanks for checking in!


Notice in most of these photos that Elijah is being a ham, Sammy is being shy and Veda is as beautiful as ever! :)

Here is praying for better behavior again!!

I was a thumb sucker....Bennett was a thumb sucker. We told B that he could only do it when he was in his bed. As he got older, we started putting a sock on his hand in bed. I sucked my thumb until I was 13 (she admits sheepishly)

Love you guys!!
