He is also prett sad that I closed the refridgerator while he was looking in there.

it is now sticking

You can't tell from the picture but that is......

SNOW!

That's right. It is snowing at our house right now. This must be some kind of record.

Jefferson in the morning

He woke up at 10am today!!! He was a little sick and went to bed a little late. Now he is a lot hungry.

Hard to get much cooler than this.

A Comment About Comments

If we were to show you pictures and you never commented about them, we would think that you didn't like to look at them so we wouldn't be as inclined to try and share them. We still would because, its like, what do you say about pictures of the same people over and over again? But it sure is fun for the boys to hear what peoples' comments are about them. Just a heads up. ;)

For example: Lincoln Can Whistle? He sure is awesome.

Story Time...

At the request of Maegan, I tell this story.

I was getting in my car this morning at around 7:30am to go to work. Next to my car's driver side back door and upright against the wall was a shovel that I placed there a few days ago after digging out some things in the yard. Behind the shovel (closer to the wall) was the boys portable and foldable soccer net. It is of a light weight tarp type material that is easily moved by wind. The wind part is pretty important as you will see in a moment.

I got in the car and closed the door. I then looked for my briefcase by the passenger side floor area to confirm it was there before I drove off. I then moved my eyes toward the windshield to start the car and several things happened simultaneously.

1) I saw, though my peripheral vision in my side view mirror, what looked like a baseball bat swinging at my head.

2) I heard a very loud bang of that bat hitting the side of my car.

3) I screamed very, very loudly. And, even more regrettably, in a very high pitch.

4) In a moment, my mind put together a pretty interesting tale whose headline reads like this: Man assaulted in Garage with Baseball Bat from Assailants who Waited for Garage to Open for his Morning Commute.

Furthermore, from this experience I learned four important things about myself:

1) When life and safety are on the line, I am pretty big chicken.

2) My heart is in pretty good condition

3) If I were to die in a very scary accident, I would not wet my pants and

4) When I have convinced myself that I am surprised attacked in the garage at 7:30am with an inescapable blow to the head from a baseball bat I not only shake with fright for moments afterwards but actually scream like a girl.

True story, the end.

The Reenactment...
After


Before

Tough to beat this level of cuteness.

Jefferson had his 18 month old shots a few hours ago but is still pretty happy to get his picture taken.

When we asked Truman what he was doing in the background of that picture he said "cause I wanted to show you guys that I could do that." That is a tough argument to follow but infallible nonetheless.

Posting...

It seems as if we may be posting a little to fast. At this rate we will have a few thousand pictures posted each year. We will slow down a bit, but it sure is fun to Mo-Blog. It takes all of 20 seconds. We hope you enjoy it.

Guess who can whistle?

We know you can't hear it but it definitely is a whistle.

The fab four

Her first headband

Post Bath Mohawk

Here is her first hairdo.

Her 2nd bath

Bath time is such a sweet time around here. McKinley moans when you put her head under the water...it is very cute.

Sleepy McKinley.

This is where mc has been sleeping the last few nights. She seems to do well there.

Maegan in the skyline of Chicago.

This was on our getaway to Chicago a few weeks back. This is on the Ferris wheel at the navy pier.

Ice Cream

We would like to thank Laura, Russ, Will, and Audrey for providing dinner for us tonight. Here are some pictures of the boys enjoying the ice cream.

Baby Fears He's Next to Be Eaten!



Saw this picture here: Big Baby

and thought I had to share. That little scared baby looks a little bit like Hinkley.

Morning routine: CARTOONS!!

They are watching air bud and that gives us time to take care of the other children in the morning.

Teeth brushing time

Truman hates to brush his teeth as you can't tell from this picture.

Lincoln would go the rest of his life without brushing his.

Jefferson walks around with a tooth brush in his mouth and cries when you take it away from him.

Lincoln's favorite shirt

Friends don't let friends go to the yew of yew.

Lincoln is the ultimate cheeser and is such a good looking kid when he isn't smiling like that.

Playing football

Truman would play football all day long if there was someone there who would play it with him. His obsession is seriously amazing.

Its Raining

It feels a little like Texas around here. The last few days all it has done is rained. There is even snow in the mountains. (unlike Texas).

The boys have been a little under the weather and Lincoln sounds like a frog when he talks.

Here is a picture of the boys admiring the rain from our porch.

Also, we have learned to post blogs from our mobile phones (called moblogging) so hopefully that makes this site a little more consistent.
