"Oh Rio Rio, dance across the Rio Grande..."
There is really, truly, completely...fascination in these boys towards everything Daddy does...
Dylan's doing something goofy again, sitting in a toy bin...and then you can almost see the question mark pop up above Ethan' & Owen's heads...who will get this one!?
Dylan is tight-lipped about his vote...
Alas, we'll have to wait for another day to see who would conquer in a fair duel...Ethan jumps in on his own, and Owen goes off to do some very important tractoring...
John Deere man...can't blame him...if I had my pick, I'd play with the tractors over $6 IKEA bins too!
The victor looks pleased!!!
There were a bunch of great pics in the "Dylan bin series", but this encompassed him best...super excited and open-mouthed with a drool-soaked shirt...I love this little guy!
Dylan would call this picture, "Let's break shit"...or maybe not, because thankfully he doesn't say that word yet. This is a picture of his amusement after he got over the initial shock when the bin cracked open on both ends and made a huge snapping sound. We just threw out a few of the broken bins. Still glad I won the "plastic furniture vs real/expensive furniture" discussion...there is a day for pretty things, and it will be in about 18 years.
Owen in the only orange jump-suit I hope he'll ever wear...
Gramma appropriately titled this picture "Don't mess with Dylan"...take that! Tough guy.
Diggin' with Linnie at the park...
Holy crap...Owen & Ethan almost look like they are the same size in this picture!
That's my girl...my niece is pretty as can be, but can still be one of the boys!!
Owen's newest thing is walking around in Ethan's big boy shoes...and he does it pretty well!
Just look at how excited he is!!
Ethan trying out Gramma's shoes...Andy could not have been more right when he said the caption for this picture should be, "When did he turn 15?" Is there a "pause" button on this guy?!
I can't believe Ethan is already done with his first year of school. I have a feeling I'll say something similar to this at the end of every school year! Wasn't his first day like yesterday?!
And Owen and Dylan are such big boys too...playing at the Park with all the kids!
Owen & D love their hats. Even when we are inside, they will take them off the coat hooks by the front door and bring them over to us so we can put them on for them. My favorite combo is when they are wearing their hats in the morning with their pajamas still on...super cute!
D is such a boy! He looks like a little man here...marching around in his long shorts!
Break time!
"Ethan, get your hands out of your mouth!" we said...Ethan is always a little nervous at first...
But he was sitting next to his little buddy, Keller, (and his crush, Madison) and was having a great time before too long. Maybe too good of a time...before the end of the concert, Ethan was plucked from his spot by a teacher's assistant, and placed in the top bleacher row, away from his buddy. They must have no sense of humor! Ethan participated throughout the concert...a total 180 from the Christmas Concert when he sat still and silent. At this concert, he sang (I could hear him from our seats!) and did the hand motions to the songs. He looked like he was having a blast! I laughed and smiled the whole time. What a sweetheart!
Parents came up to the stage to collect their kids...Mommy was a little teary in this picture, which is why my eyes look so weird. Yes, I am a total sap, and no, I'm not embarrassed about it!
There are just no words to sum up the cuteness of Owen....
My curly-red D heading for the door...gotta keep an eye on this one!
Dylan's like, "Enough of you and your camera, MOM, I'm bustin' out of here!"
