Learning to Stand

Andrew has been trying to stand by himself! He does pretty well for about 2 seconds..

And this pic was too darn cute not to post!

sink

Gabe saw me give Andrew a bath in the sink last night so he had to have a turn!

Big Boy!

A special day!

Gabe got his first bow & arrow set today at JAX in Ames. He was so excited to "bow and arrow with daddy". It's hard to see in the picture but he even got a shooting glove.

Gabe is learning the basics.

***Don't worry mom, we put the bow and arrow away where Gabe can't get it!***

The week in pictures

Daddy & Drewey

Andrew & his first graham cracker. He enjoyed it and then threw up everywhere.

A tired little one.

Matching monster truck jammies from Old Navy.

My cute little Gaber

Modeling his new jacket from Grandma Di Ann.

Gabe spent some time by the river with Aaron.

Cute boots in the muddy water.

Spring is here?

The Dam on "Lake Nokomis" in Humboldt. I think it's called the Reasoner Dam?
The water wasn't as high as I thought it would be.

An action shot of Gabe racing me on his scooter.

Our yard still has a ton of snow to melt.

We walked along the Cottonwood Trail in Humboldt and Gabe had to try out every bench.

This is a fun pic even though it's blurry.

Gabe and Andrew checking out the river.

This Week...

Drewy being cute. He is now starting to cruise along the furniture.

This look is Gabe trying to be crabby.

Here is Uncle Dan's goodbye hug.

Enjoying the new carpet in Gabe's room.

Awww, cute!

Aaron and I went out on Saturday evening and came home (at 9!) and found everyone asleep. Andrew was in his swing in the other room.

Lots of Pictures!

I've been meaning to put some of these up for a few days.

Silly Drewy

Trying to make his pastor pleased.

El Toro Loco ridin' high.

Andrew making his escape from the new room.

"Brothers gotta hug"

Riding in the basket.

This pic is a number of weeks old but it is pretty cute!

This was this morning (March 6). This is what happens when I don't respond immediately to "I want some more cereal". He just did it by himself. After I took the picture he said "I got a whole pile of milk!"

Trying on my shoes.

And so it begins...

Additions to the list

Air Force Afterburner

Gunslinger (in the BIG size)... We'll post pictures later.


We went to Target tonight looking for "Shocker" and they had only 2 trucks left and the whole display was empty! Apparently Gabe isn't the only little one that loves the monster trucks.


He still likes Mcqueen and watching the movie Cars but his McQueen toys have taken a back seat to the monster trucks. :(

Gabe is making progress on becoming potty trained. I would guess (hope) that within the next month he should have it down.

FINISHED!!!!!!

Andrew is happy to report that the weird room is finished! And it isn't weird anymore... It's just cozy, warm, and nice!

We decided to make it our office/den. Also Andrew's crib will be in here until he is big enough to move into the bunk bed with Gabe.

The old office will now become a playroom.

We LOVE the new carpet and are going to pony up the rest of the money to finish the other 3 bedrooms with the new carpet.
