Brothers

My sweet, sweet boys!! It's amazing how these two little ones are already such great friends! Drew loves to play with Grant a lot lately, something he's just started really doing. Grant loves it-- he always loves when Drew is around. It's so fun to watch them together.... to see how Grant just watches Drew's every move, and to see how Drew is so sweet to sit and tell 'Baby Grant' all sorts of stories, just to keep him entertained.

There's no question these two were meant to be brothers, and I'm so blessed to have both of them in my life! I love them so much!!!

Confession

My son thinks he's Troy Bolton...watch the video and you'll see why. Enjoy!!

It is Time..

to Potty Train our son! I have been so nervous to get started, after hearing all the horror stories of potty training. But, we started the whole process yesterday, and things have gone so well so far!! He's doing great- with only one accident to date (the very first time, after that he's let me know if he has to go!) Yeah-- go Drew! I guess that car stickers and marshmallows have been better incentives/bribes (whatever you want to call them :) than I thought they'd be :) We'll see how the next few days go.... hopefully just a great as the first two!

Just had to show you our sweet boys... they both looked so handsome for church on Sunday!!!

Drew B

Today is Drew's 3rd Birthday! I can hardly believe it.... we've gone from this:

to this:

WAY TOO FAST!!!!

Get to know our sweet Drew just a little....

*He loves, loves, loves his daddy! Drew will copy/follow/imitate/love anything and everything dad does!

*He is a great big brother- always sweet and gentle with Grant
*He is a total tease- just like his daddy!!!

*He says the funniest things- we get a good laugh every day :) :)
this was said recently:
Mom: "Drew, do you want some hot chocolate?"
Drew: "Um... No, too hot! I want cold chocolate!"
*He says sweet things like, "Umm... SURE!" and "Of Course!" and "Hi Baby Grant, Hi BUDDY!"
*He is very independent, and likes to do things all by himself!

*He LOVES cars and trains... over the last few Christmases/Birthdays, we've acquired countless numbers of them! :)

*He is way into Backhoes, Dump Trucks, Bulldozers, Cement Trucks, etc.
*He loves to dance (most of the time on our bed) and turn the music up loud!

*He loves to go watch daddy play his "basket hoop" games
*He is such a cheese- always giving us his cheesiest smiles- especially for pictures.


Happy Birthday, Sweet Drew! We love you so much!!!

G-Baby

Our little Grant is 3 months old!!! Where does the time go?! Here are some facts about him and his first three months:

*He's up to about 16 or so pounds....our little chunker :)
*He is the happiest, most smiley baby I've ever met

*He has started sleeping through the night (Yeah for mom!)
*He loves his big brother. Anytime Drew is around, Grant is mezmerized by him and gives him the biggest smiles :)

*He is so incredibly easy going (which is great for us- Drew keeps us on our toes :)
*He's a cuddler (another yeah for mom and his grandmas!) here he is cuddling with my mom

*He's discovered his hands- last night he sat and watched his own arm and hand move for about 5 minutes!
*He looks like the cutest little pea in a pod when we bundle him all up before going outside. All those layers are necessary when our high temps have been below zero


And I keep saying that Drew and Grant look different from one another... then I eat my words when I come across such similar pictures as these:

Phone Bills

FINALLY.... we got the reader to get pics from our SD Card to the computer... (which means I can finally post some fun stuff :)
Here is evidence that Andy and I need to start saving up for big phone bills in the future.... two talkative boys!!

Christmas.... Florida Style

We were able kiss the midwest storms goodbye when we came to Tampa, FL for Christmas. Eighty degree weather + Family = GOOD TIMES (and free babysitting :)!! Here are some pictures from our adventures in the sunshine state:


Us at Sand Key Beach.... Drew loved the beach!!



Enjoying a canoe ride in the swamp..... and yes.... alligators live in this water!!!

This crash and go car is one of Drew's favorite presents-- Thanks Aunt Whitney!!!




Drew's first Mini-golf experience... in winter!
