look what we did today...

This first picture is most just for a point of reference. (It's also a funny story...the boys knocked over their tee pee and it quickly turned into a ramp/hammock. They are so smart!)

Notice that crazy blond hair...

Brody with his big boy haircut

Owen rockin' a much shorter do!

We went and got our hair cut today. Grammie got the pleasure of joining us this time. I figure if I rotate grandparents they (the grandparents) won't be too traumatized by the pain of watching the boys suffer through such torture. The lady was very impressed Brody was able to scream, suck on a sucker, watch TV and get his haircut. Owen did great. He worked on his sucker and watched tv while only being slightly irritated by the nice lady snipping his locks.

They are so handsome!

Mmmmmm....Peanut Butter

I was enjoying a banana and peanut butter today, and....my peanut butter was high-jacked! Guess who is a peanut butter fan? Owen!

Is this the face of a guilty man?

Little angel Brody was totally innocent

Lovin' it!

Brody was totally occupied with his silly Dada

SOOOOOO good

Not too happy to hear NO from his Momma

Owen has made a friend for life. Peanut Butter is her weakness.

Dad is looking forward to the day the boys can "fetch" us stuff. While we hone those skills, Brody's backscratching skills will have to do.

Chuck E Cheese and 18 Months Old

We turned 18 months old yesterday! One year and a half old! I can't believe it! The boys are wonderful and continue to amaze me everyday. Today, we went to Chuck E Cheese with a few friends. This was our first time and let me just say...WOW!!!! Thank goodness I ordered food. I had to refuel on a number of occasions just to keep up with the two of them. I somehow don't have any pics of our buddies Anna and Brown. I'm sure Penelope and I looked like nuts chasing down four 18 month olds!

Owen and Baryn

Miss Baryn enjoying her beverage

Brody was thrilled when he saw the "horssss". I think he was a little disappointed when he realized it was not real. But he sure did "Nay" a little at his pony.

Owen could have cared less about this fellow. He just rode it to make mom happy.

This is what Owen thought was fun! Can't find Owen...look up the Skee Ball ramp!

Brody and little Miss Georgia. Check out her grin!

A little pizza to go. I wanted to run a couple of errands so I bribed Brody.

There was no need with Owen. He was OUT!

Chowing down!

OUT!

Ruidoso Weekend

***Warning***
Picture Over-Load Ahead!

We got new shoes for school...

and we look like BIG boys! (mom actually took us shoe shopping all by herself)

Thursday we headed up to Ruidoso, New Mexico to celebrate Todd's grandmother's 83rd birthday! Happy Birthday GREAT Nana!

What's everybody lookin' at?

"Look kids a deer!" This big guy came walking down the street each morning. The boys would point at the door and ask deer at least 100 times a day.

Nana's deck wraps all the way around her house and it was a great babysitter. The boys loved to stomp and run on the deck and play with their cars.

We went to the horse races and got right up in the action.

Owen loved the horses and the tractors

Nana showed off her family to all her friend at the Jockey Club.

There was a great park Todd and I walked down to. It had a fabulous playground for the boys.

Todd and the boys took a turn on the tire swing. The boys did not like their first taste of dizzy.

Great Nana with her great grandsons. They loved to crawl up in her lap and read books.

We squeezed in a train ride...

before the pony rides. Brody thought this was by far the best thing he had ever done!

Owen took a little more convincing. He finally got into it and started to enjoy it.

Dad and Owen

Mom and her Owen

so sweet

we love our new shoes! They get very upset if one has them on and I don't put their on immediately

Pa Doss helped Brody find the perfect rocks to throw into the river.

wild bunch of boys

Sunday Fun-day!

We had a great Sunday at the Rogers's house. The boys played in the pool and on their new climber before a nice long nap. And after lunch, we headed right back out there. So wonderful!

The boys love to "lounge" like Momma

My handsome guys

Had a little more trouble taking a picture with Mom

Owen was enjoying his "momma hammock" but we were too late with the camera. Just pretend he's smiling!

Popsicles were the perfect way to end our day.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Where have the Rogers been??????

Oh my! Where have the Rogers been???? We have been out of town three of the last four weekends. It's been crazy and we've missed our sweet baby boys but we have managed to squeeze in lots of fun. The boys are doing great. We are teething like sharks! Brody has added two bottom molars in the last week and Owen has push out his top right molar. They are into everything and there is never a dull moment. I LOVE IT!!!!

Todd and I headed to VEGAS for a long weekend! Isn't he handsome?

This was before we went to see "O"
The big winner!

Chris was our tiny dancer!

Myndi and I partied like we were 18! I don't remember the last time I stayed out until SIX in the morning. Believe it!!!!! This is why I did not do anything for a week after I got home. TOO OLD!

Our sweet wonderful friend Chris and Myndi went to Vegas with us. SOOOOO much fun! I'm ready to go back....in a few months????

The boys are finally using their two-seater. Luckily this pic does not have sound. Owen was going forward and Brody was going backwards. Pretty funny!

Our TWIN friends. Brown and Anna are nine days younger than us and SOOOOO much fun. Brown loved my wild boys. Anna was not quite sure what those silly boys were doing. Do you have any idea how hard it was to capture a "good" pic?

this was snapped by Nana and Papa D. They came in while we were in Vegas and then again when we headed to San Antonio for an anniversary getaway with the Sebrings. (Check out their blog to see our fabulous pictures.) I know it was torture for them to have to come play TWICE!!!!

Pa Doss celebrated his birthday this week!

Forget Pa Doss, just send the balloons!!!!

Hours of entertainment!!! Great babysitter.

Notice Brody's grip on that balloon

Brody decided the pool was not for him. Personal hot-tubbin' baby!

LOOK WHAT DADDY GOT US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owen was such a big help putting it together and he LOVED the finished product!

The mosquitoes and flies tormenting mom and dad during construction were totally worth this enjoyment by the boys!
