Music Time

Dalton is on the keyboard, Karl is playing the guitar and Braden is assisting on the guitar/rattle.

Dalton and Karl decide which chords they need to play.

Doesn't Dalton look like such a cool dude in his shades?

My Brother Did It!

How true is this?

Dalton's birthday & a few other pictures

I love this picture of Dalton. He was ver anxious to eat the cake & cupcakes that he helped decorate. As I was getting out the icecream, he sat there with his head in his hands. It was too adorable to pass up taking this picture!

Braden says "Hello!"

Dalton got a new bike for his 4th birthday & Braden got his very first tricycle. Karl took them to get their helmets & they each picked out Thomas the Tank Engine, which also came with knee pads & elbow pads. Those already came in handy, when Dalton fell off of his bike & said "It didn't hurt when I falled!"

I think that Shelby has permanently dented this cushion on our sectional.

Mommy has to have her picture taken every now & then!

Another Summer Day

Braden, fixing his bubble mower.
Now he can mow the yard! Too bad it doesn't really cut the grass!
Dalton has a great arm!
And a great leg!

Splish-Splash!

The boys had a blast one hot summer day recently. They kept asking Karl to spray them with teh hose! Then I took the hose & acted like I was going to spray the boys, but instead, turned it on to Karl. He was surprised & the boys were THRILLED! It was a fun day for all of us!
Dalton and Braden check out their new pool! Dalton insisted on buying the green swimming pool, because green is his color!
More Splashing!
Somehow, the soccer ball ended up in there!
Braden laughs after running across the pool!

Dalton & Braden on our Road Trip!

Aren't these two just too adorable?!!

Dalton & Braden

Bubbles, Bubbles EVERYWHERE!

Dalton and Braden enjoyed the warm, afternoon sunshine with some soccer & bubbles.
"Here's some bubbles, Mommy!" Dalton says.
Braden is learning how to blow bubbles!
Looks like both boys have finally figured it out!

From home improvement projects to family time...

The boys decided to help Karl install a new light in our guest area. They were very interested in handing him the tools that they felt he needed. Dalton also said that he needed to fix the door. Lucky for me, I have 3 little handy-men to do home improvement projects!
Dalton and Braden are actually playing with the same toy at the same time & are NOT fighting over it! It's amazing! So of course, I had to take a picture to document such a momentous occasion!
Karl was reading to Dalton & Braden when Lily & Shelby decided to join them!
Karl & I actually had a moment to kick back & relax for a bit! We are looking forward to celebrating our first year wedding anniversary next week!

Aren't they cute?!!

The boys had their pictures taken, a couple of weekends ago, when they went to their Dad's & he was nice enough to let me scan them & now I can share them with you!

Dalton is 3 1/2 years old.

Braden is 2 years old.

Friends?!!

I wandered into the family room today & saw that Lily (the dog) had climbed onto the back of the couch & plopped down on the exact cushion that Shelby (the cat) usually lays on. Then, right before my eyes, Shelby came running down into the family room & climbed up right beside Lily. It was very odd, but cute to watch. Of course, I had to run & get the camera, to document this occassion. Dalton said "Look! They're friends!"
