Not abandoning blog

Ever since I joined Facebook, I have neglected this blog.

Pictures are coming soon. I'm not abandoning the blog!

Newly minted Scrabble Player

Joe wanted to play scrabble with me a few weeks ago. In the last couple of months, he has been making big strides in learning to read. He loves to spell out simple words and he sounds out everything. In our scrabble "game", he played Hat and Ted and then he spelled "Fathed" and laughed and told me that this was a word that boys use! He likes to try to read to Jack and Henry.

Pooh Bear and Tigger

AKA Henry (Tigger) and Jack (Pooh).

More March & April

Joe became obsessed with vocanoes because of Mt. Redoubt erupting in AK. Here's a drawing of a volcano.

Here's Joe's play doh recreation of a volcano (which we erupted with baking soda and vinegar.)

The boys in Target Easter $1 stuff.

John (and friend Matt) lighting Jack and Henry's birthday cupcake tree. Our 3rd birthday party for the twins was very small (just us and our friends the Nedoms) and I only took two pictures and none included the birthday boys . Oops. John thinks he videotaped the Happy Birthday singing and cupcake eating.

Joe and his friend Maria at Jack and Henry's birthday. I hope these two get married in 25 years!

March and April: Busy Boys

Riding new birthday bikes in the kitchen.

Painting.

Checking out stuff in the heating vents with magnifying glasses.

Playing with trains.

Jack and Henry watching Joe play a computer game.

Big Kids

Joe, Jack, and Henry all got haircuts this weekend and they are all looking much older. It is hard to believe that Jack and Henry turn THREE in less than two weeks! (Henry is on the left in these photos.) (I bribed them with sweet tart candy if they would pose for pictures and they all eagerly sat down and said Smile and Pizza. I should have made them dress a little better!)

Pioneer Peak

We played outside on Sunday afternoon - it was sunny and about 20 degrees.

Wacky Weather

Our weather has been wild this week. The Chinook winds came in (the Pineapple express) and the temperature went way up. It was in the mid to high 40's this morning and the kids played outside. It was great even though it was very wet and windy. Now, there are torrential downpours.
