Hats and Haircuts

Both boys got haircuts. I don't really like the super short look, but Joseph was actually asking for a haircut because his hair gets all wet outside (think sweat). Frank is always talking about how good short hair feels so I cut it short. Cutting Derek's hair is always a little more of a trial. I usually have about 4 minutes before he's crying. Mostly I cut the sides and the back and just trimmed the top. Lorelei does not need a haircut, she needs to grow more hair so I can stick more bows in.

Family Update

Dan Nicholas Park

I saw this park on a few friends' blogs and decided to take the family out there. It took us 40 mins to drive there. We had a great time - it's a cheap park- hurray. We spent 15 dollars and got to have a train ride, ride the carousel, paddle boats, and the petting barn.

This is the one picture I got of Derek actually petting something.

Random Life

She was soo proud of herself for finding these papers.- Can't you just see the smugness on her face?

Yes, that is diablo they are playing. Not my preference on games for my 4 and almost 3 year old. Since then we've found a few other games they can play (King's Quest is one). Even Derek can play them; it's amazing to me how well they can use the mouse and keyboard. We've copied Jennie's rule of having to read to get computer time.

I have tried and tried to upload this video through blogger and it just won't work. So I'm trying a different way. I hope you all can see it

This video is hysterical to me. Lorelei really only laughs like this at Joseph and Derek. Mom and Dad obviously aren't very funny.

I can't get enough of my kids!!

They are soo cute!!


Thanks Megan for Lorelei's swimsuit!!
I had to post this picture of her grin. She crinkles up her nose when she smiles big.


Every family needs a family feet photo :) The boys love this picture and talk about all of our "pretty toes".



I think they were blocking the path way so no bad guys could get by.
