Quotes by Andrew:

I am sure this will be a continuos post. Just trying to remember some of the funny things Andrew says and does!
On the way home from the zoo we stopped and got some food.
Dave (to the fast food drive through worker): "I'll have a Sourdough...with a diet Pepsi and a hot dog basket. Oh and I'll have a lemonade for the hot dog."
Andrew: "Daddy, you called me a hot dog!"


Our sitter sent me this one:

Her daughter, Abby, was being really sweet to Will. She said to Abby "Mommy thinks you are so sweet". Andrew then pipes up and says "My Mommy thinks I am stinky like Daddy." Ha ha!
I do tell him he is my stinky little boy all the time!

Dancing to the music...

Oh well, I have been horribly behind in my blogging. I will use the next couple of posts to get caught up! William is now running around everywhere and the boys are both enjoying playing outside in the summer sun. Will is also now saying little words like "uh oh" and ball. He loves to dance to music (see video!). Whenever it is on TV, at church, or really anywhere, he starts to dance with a big grin on his face. So cute. :-)

Fishing with Daddy

Andrew got fishing pole for his birthday and has been bugging Daddy every 2 seconds (literally) to go fishing. He just stands out in the driveway in his rain boots and practices casting his line. Well, we went up to Grandma's a few weeks ago and we finally stopped along the creek and went fishing. Andrew was so excited - he caught a fish. They attempted to go last night at Alum Creek too, but didn't catch anything.

First Haircut and First Tooth

Well, I finally broke down and took William to get his haircut. I took him to a place called Cookie Cutters. They have slides, fun things for the kids to sit in, tv's at every station, even video games. It was nice because it kept Andrew entertained while Will got his hair cut. Anyways, the little boy next to us was crying so William decided he should join in. He fussed pretty much the whole time. He got to sit in a little fire truck so when he was done, he just sat there and played in it and was fine.

Isn't this the saddest face?

Not sure what's going on...

Afterwards:

William also started getting his first tooth (Finally!) He has been a little fussy, but that could be from his big brother trying to wrestle with him and grab him constantly. :-)

Vacation!

We just got back from our FL vacation last week. We went down and visited Aunt Pam and Aunt Beth at the beach. We had a few days to get to the beach and the condo that Aunt Pam has with a heated pool. Andrew jumped in the freezing cold ocean and into Aunt Pam's freezing cold pool at her house. It didn't seem to bother him any. He just wanted to go swimming. When we went to the ocean, it was the same way, Andrew just wanted to run into the water. We played in the waves for awhile and buried him in the sand. Pam also buried Will in the sand which kept him entertained for awhile.

On one of the rainy days we went over to Silver Springs which has glass bottom boats and all kinds of alligators and other animals. Andrew got to feed the giraffes and still tells everyone he sees how stinky they were. He got a kick out of all the alligators too. See the picks below, he and Dave almost got eaten by one. :-)

On the way back we stopped by to see Grandpa. Andrew really wanted to play Grandpa's guitar so he got it out for him and played a song.

We had a great trip but we were ready to come home.

Thanks Beth and Pam for letting us stay with you!

Birthday Boys!

Andrew and William both had birthdays recently. Andrew turned 4 and William turned 1 yesterday. We had everyone over here for Andrew's birthday party. He was so excited and every time he opened a present he said "WOW!". He wanted a Spiderman cake, which this had on it until Andrew took it off to play with it!

We kind of had an unofficial party for William with my family on Sunday. Noone can ever tell him he didn't get a real 1st birthday party or else! I won't win "mom of the year" award this year. In fact, maybe I should just delete this blog and he will never know. Tammy shared Morgan's birthday party with William so he did get his name on a cake and get to open presents. The kids were all swimming at the YMCA thanks to Aunt Holly, which was a great idea. Poor little Andrew drank a little too much pool water and ended up sleeping on a cot the whole time.

Andrew while swimming.....

Andrew after swimming....

William is not quite walking yet and still no teeth in there! He will stand there all by himself and fall forward so you have to catch him or plop on his bottom and just laugh. He started waving and saying bye bye and blowing kisses. He kept repeating "uh oh" tonight too. I can't believe how fast the time goes.

Snow day

I took Andrew out to play in the snow for awhile while William was sleeping. He helped me shovel our mailbox out and then I pulled him around on his sled. After awhile Will Will woke up, I took him out for a few minutes. Below is a picture of Andrew making his "Snow Andrew" as he would say.
