Third and final set for February

Another favorite of Heath's now is to watch the dogs out the back window. And there is Pierce who loves to be silly! 2/18/09

Heath is so mobile now - goes anywhere he wants when he wants. He also loves music - anything that makes noise - drums, guitar, keyboard, to banging the metal dog bowls. He is hilarious. 2/18/09

With some of Pierce's money he saved up he decided he wanted to buy this fireman costume. He was so excited to wear it. Unfortunately after wearing it for a short time the buckle part fell apart. So as many of you who know Pierce this was very traumatic. We took it back to the store and they do not have anymore. So we are on the lookout for another fireman costume. 2/14/09

We had a sad moment for both Pierce and James on Valentines. James decided to sell his motorcycle. Here is their last picture enjoying the bike together before the new owner picked it up. New toys and memories to follow. 2/14/09

Second set of February pics

Deputy Pierce. 2/8/09

Heath started crawling while family was in town for the baptism - here he decided it would be fun to crawl all over Libby - she doesn't seem to mind. 2/8/09

The wonderful Godparents. Here we all are after the baptism. We are so blessed to have both Uncle Jeff and Aunt Desi to be the godparents to both of our sons. 2/7/09

Celebrating Aunt Desi's birthday and Dad's birthday while family was in town. Pierce can never get enough of birthdays! 2/7/09

Here is the cutest picture so far of the two boys - best of buds. 2/1/09

Heath was able to sit up on his own now so the crib bed got lowered. Here is handy man dad being instructed by boss Pierce on what to do next. 1/31/09


Yep the tupperware cabinet has been found and would entertain him forever. 1/31/2009

If Heath is really tired at dinner time, you just rock the highchair back and forth and he will go to sleep. Not sure why it is so easy here and so hard in his crib to get him to sleep sometimes. He took a 30 minute nap here and woke up ready to eat again. 1/30/2009

Happy New Year

Happy New Year a little late. We hope everyone has had a great January. We have been busy getting back into the swing of things after the holidays - and we had a great holiday. Since I got so far behind at the end of the year, and it is a new year I am going to just start posting pictures from January on - sorry for those keeping up with how the boys are growing that you will miss a few months - I am just not able to get caught up - so we are going to start a new. One thing I will say, from experience though - DO NOT let your children hold sparklers - they burn at temperatures as hot as a welding machine - so if they get burnt (which Pierce did) - it most likely will be a 2nd degree burn or worse! With that - here come the pictures!

School Pics

Here are Pierce's first school pictures. Oct 2008

October 2008

As a tradition we are going to the pumpkin patch in October. It is also so much fun that the 3 years we have gone, we have gone with some of the same people and it is fun to look back at the pictures to see how the kids have grown. This year our camera was not charged, so thankfully we did meet friends there and they were able to capture some pictures for us! Thanks Lindsay! 10/19/08

Brotherly love - they are too cute together! 10/29/08

Heath did not make it too far trick-or-treating. 10/31/08
