Enjoying the view

Brock's favorite thing:) - and Kyle doesn't think that they're too bad, either:)

Brock and Kyle have a new found love of "white donuts". I can't remember the first time that we bought them for them, but it is a constant breakfast time request, especially from Brock. If he sees them on the counter, or in the grocery bag, he gets the biggest smile on his face. It makes it very difficult for Mommy to pass them up in the store. He can't eat just one, and would probably surprise us with how many he could eat if we didn't set a limit. He eats them like a big boy, leaving a covering of powdered sugar over the entire kitchen (or so it seems:) for Mommy to clean up. But the joy on his little face makes all of the cleaning worth it. Here he is enjoying his favorite breakfast on a couple of different occasions:

"See my white donut??"

"Yummy!! This makes me a very happy boy!!"

"I don't think that they're too bad, either!!"

One of the many kinds and sizes that we've found:).

He's all serious here - only about the business of the donut.

Don't you love that powdered sugar mouth?!?!?!

Funny from this morning

Brock was the first one to wake up this morning, and this is what I heard over the monitor:

B: "Kyle, wake up!!"

K: "No, I'm sleeping!!"

They say the funniest things;).

Play Ball!!

The boys are definitely following in their father's footsteps with their developing love for baseball. We got them a "big boy" bat and ball, and they are in their glory. They love to play outside, but all other fun outside things lose their luster when Daddy pulls in the drive way from work, and the game is on:).

Working on the stance.

The final product - isn't he just too cute!!

Here's the pitch....

Is he going to hit it??

He did it!! Good job, Brock!! My timing is still off on getting pics of the actual hit, so you will just have to trust me that he actually hit the ball:). See his cheering squad?? That's one of the good things about being a twin - you have an automatic fan (besides Mommy- of course;).

Walking off the field...............

.......to come tell Mommy that he did it!! What a cute smile of satisfaction:).

Batter number 2 comes up to the plate.

Another cute little stance. I just can't get enough of these 2 boys!!

Here's the pitch............

..........and the swing.

Again, Mommy needs to work on the timing, but this little guy was successful, too!!

Here he is, telling Mommy that he's a winner, too!! We love this game!!

We LOVE the park!!!

With all of this wonderful weather (today excluded:), we have been spending alot of time at the parks. We are so blessed to have many wonderful parks at our disposal, and the boys fondly name each park based on the color of the slides (This was their own naming system - I was pretty impressed that they came up with it, and it helps me know where they want to go. Now, if only I can remember where the slides are which colors!!). They are pretty trust worthy, so far, and are obedient to my directions, so I've let them explore on the equipment and am amazed with their abilities and their courage. Here are some pics from one of our visits to one of their favorites:

Peek-a-boo!! I see you:).

They love the "curly slide". It is definitely a favorite......

....for both of them.

Brock figured this one out all on his own.

They love to bounce......

....and bounce.

King of the mountain - this definitely matches his personality:).

This is one they have not mastered yet, but boy do they exert some energy trying!!

Climbing the big rock is a thrill, from start........

.....to middle..........

....and finish:).

This is another yet to be mastered. I had to go and rescue this stuck boy, after I took his picture of course!!

Swinging is a good way to rest and regain some more energy ......

....to climb, climb, climb.

And last but not least, the "shaky bridge". Mommy loves the parks, too, because it uses alot of energy, and may even make nap-time just a little longer:).

Mischevious boys!!

Do these look like guilty faces to you??

They do to me!! I knew that it was too quiet for too long, but I just wanted to get dinner started and my kitchen picked up a bit:). Their thing has been "pile making" and "garbage dumping" lately, so I should have guessed what I would find when I finally went to investigate (it really didn't seem like I left them unattended that long - they must be fast workers:).

I don't think that you can tell from the pictures, but my end tables were cleared, as well as the majority of the book shelves, and all of the toys were moved from the periphery of the room. I moved it before taking the pictures, but even my plant that was on one of the end tables made it into the pile (no dirt was spilled and it was no worse for wear - thank goodness!!) As I stared in disbelief at my jumbled living room, my greatest dilemma was whether or not taking the pictures would deter from the punishment that was about to ensue. My desire to remember these crazy little stunts won out, and you get to share in our memories:). Needless to say, we were still picking up when Daddy got home, and dinner was a bit delayed, despite my earlier attempts at getting a head start:).

Rainy Friday Morning

Here are some pics of our lazy morning fun:

Watchin' the rain fall.

Can you believe that we can't go to the park this morning?!?!

Making my own fun with my choo-choo hat!

Such a cheese-ball!

Two boys in hats are always better!!

The little farmer- making his rounds.

"My tractor is just like Papa's!!"
