A year passing...

Last year it was a hard picture to try and grab and even harder this year. This year's pic was this morning and the bottom photo is from April 24th of last year. A LOT has changed!!

A Visit with Nana and Granpop

This evening we went and had dinner with Nana and Grandpop. The boys had A LOT of FUN. Logan got to show off his new hair cut too. There was a new toy for the boys to play with, A Home Depot workbench. The boys had a BLAST. Aidan really liked to hammer the nails into the bench. It did not take long and he was an old pro. Logan liked it too but was much more low key. Aidan was distracted with the tools so Logan got more time to play trains without Aidan taking over. We ate dinner and then went outside to feed the birds. Aidan was talking about helping Grandpop feed the birds for days prior. Aidan and Logan played a little basketball and the puppies got to play too. Roxy gets a little silly with balls and managed to catch a rebound before it hit the ground. As it turned out she wouldn't let go of the ball because she couldn't. Turns out her teeth got stuck in the basketball and her mouth was stuck wide open. Andrew worked it out for her and of course that did not stop her from wanting to get the ball again. Cooper enjoyed running in a nice big yard. He liked it a little too much. After some crazy loops through the front yard he skidded across the driveway recovered and crashed head on into the hedge that lines the Rogers' driveway. He is "smart" ( I use that word loosely for Coop.) and decided it was time to stop. A little later Carrie noticed Cooper was licking the back side of his leg. Turns out his crash and burn on the driveway skinned his Dorsal Pad pretty good it looked pretty gross and bloody. We got it cleaned up and covered so he wouldn't lick it. The vet said he should be fine but keep neosporin on it and don't let him lick the neopsorin. So, it now is only covered while the goo seeps in and then he'll leave it alone. Goofy dogs!! Gotta love them though! Hope you enjoy these two videos of the boys from tonight.

Logan's First Hair Cut

WOW! What a Big Difference! He looks like such a Big Boy now! Amazing how much difference a hair cut can change your Precious Baby to a Precious Toddler! Well, Part-Time Toddler, he prefers walking when no one is looking. He covers anywhere from 4-9 steps the moment you cheer or look too closely he sits down and crawls! Sneaky Little Booger! 2 more days until the BIG ONE!!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter! The boys has a FANTASTIC Day!! They woke up and found what they Easter Bunny left them and were excited..OK well Aidan more than Logan. Logan did enjoy a nice cookies and cream bunny after Church. Aidan ate his weight in jelly beans today. It's a wonder he can even function! The boys behaved very nicely in Church. Afterwards Nana and Grandpop came over for a nice visit. They boys got some neat Thomas pail and shovel, some trains, clothes and candy! We then headed to Carrie's Grandparents. Sam and Aaron hid eggs for an Easter Egg Hunt for the boys. Logan got one egg and was fine. Aidan enjoyed finding all the others. We then spent the afternoon in Meme and Papa's back yard. What a pretty day, the pollen was out but not too bad. Aidan fell asleep on the way home and slept the next 14 hours. Logan hit the sack early that day but not quite like Aidan.

New Seating Arrangement

A couple weeks ago Aidan began requesting to sit in "Roxy and Cooper's" seat. After a look into the owner's manual and deciding that a portion of the back seat had all the neccessary attatchments we moved Aidan's seat. Today was the first ride with the Puppies. Cooper doesn't like giving up the center seat but he seems to have managed pretty well. He somehow decided he is now "human." He feels the need for people food even more now, thinks all tables, counters, blankets and beds are his. We assume it is only natural that is now attempting to sit in a car like all the rest of us. Roxy preferred not trying to squeeze her tubby self into back so she opted for the Captain's Chairs.

A quick update..

Here are just a few photos of the last few days.

The REAL Thing

With Aidan's sleeping habits lately it has become more than clear that the "big boy" bed from December is no longer acceptable. We kept hoping we could stretch it a bit longer however, Aidan's and our lack of sleep clarifies the neccessity of a True Big Boy Bed. Today after yet another HORRENDOUS nights sleep went went to the store on Andrew's lunch hour and brought home a bed. Aidan is so estatic!! We just had to go shopping for a few extra pieces to make it useful. More are still to come. There is one "bummer" about it. The crib Aidan had is a "lifetime" crib. Meaning it converts to a "toddler bed" and then to a full size head board and foot board. The catch though you need the wooden bedrails from the manufactuer. Do they make this crib anymore???!!! Does the manufacturer have a web site???!! NO!!! Soo...the crib is just a crib..yes we could make it fit but then what use would it be if we needed it as a crib again?? So until we decide on something we like we will make due with what you see here. Aidan is over the moon though. Why must they grow up so fast???!! Next thing we know he'll be ready for college.
