Bruneau Dunes

The little guy forgot his coat at home and so we had to put Mommy's shirt and Daddy's warm hat on him to keep him from getting a chill from the windy day!

Writing his name in the sand.

With his trusty friend, Cooper, braving the wind at the top of the Dune!

Looking down on Uncle Danny from the top.

Walking across the top edge. Blue skies!

Mommy and Baby waited below in the car. Good thing we did because when the big boys came down, they were covered head to toe in sand (and in some noses and ears, too!)

Baby - 2 months old today!

a Bike for a Boy

We recently discovered that Spiderman was ready for a "big boy bike" and providentially a customer of mine had a bike just his size that she was ready to get rid of. So, I traded a pack of page protectors (no big deal for me!) for his "new" bike! Here are a couple pictures of him trying it out with Dad. Not surprisingly, he isn't phased one bit when he falls down! :) We have had a couple of days of 50-degree weather this week and he has enjoyed being back outside again. Needless to say, I have enjoyed that as well...Spiderman definitely needs to be outside swinging rather than inside [literally] running into walls.

Spiderman does Valentines Day

Here he is... at his first Valentine's Day party. Baby got to come, too... but didn't get to have a heart-cupcake. They made heart frames (to give to Mommy, he said) and did a heart-themed worksheet. Afterwards they played for awhile before icing and decorating cupcakes and passing out their valentines to their friends. The morning ended with a book called, "The Sweetest Valentine." He had so much fun! We put all the boys' valentines on my Everyday Display board to enjoy for a few days. (Thank you Grandma and Grandpa, Grandmom and Grandpop, for our valentines!)

Sleeping Baby

Smiles

10pm tonight...still up do to the fact that we had some trouble with older brother's treatment of his baby brother...we had to wait up for Daddy to return from Hunter's Ed to discipline. These photos were taken after apologies had been made. Pretty special moment to see the joy and love after such trouble!

What a Good Big Brother!

Tonight, while I took care of some CM business at my desk, Spiderman spent some time reading to Baby. A Squirrel's Tale in his own words. He sat there for at least 30 minutes "reading it"... while Baby sat very quietly and watched his big brother, listening all the while! It was pretty special. Here's a little bit of it!

If you're interested in knowing more about where Mr. Oz was this evening, stay tuned... a blog about Hunter's Education a.k.a. "Hunting with the BeeGees" is coming!
