Boys will be boys!

Lately Logan has turned into my little dare devil. He loves to climb on everything and after a bad fall ended up with his first black eye! Luckily it's only noticeable when he shuts his eyes and is healing fast. Michael's funny boy moment happened earlier this week just before bath time. I looked down to see my adorable naked little boy peeing all over the carpet! When he finished he looked up at me with the biggest smile on his face. Since he wears diapers all the time....I don't think he knew that he could do this. The boys also started music class this week. Michael was a little scared during the class and sat on my lap the entire time. Logan on the other hand was standing up, clapping to the music, and running up to all the other kids. I can't wait to see how they do next week. Brian and I are celebrating our 7th anniversary this weekend! It's amazing how much has happened in those seven years. At the request of a few people I am posting a recent belly shot. We also took some photos of the boys with the "baby" so I will post those as well. Hope everyone is enjoying the nice fall weather. I can't wait to take the boys to the pumpkin patch!

Happy Labor Day!

Brian and I finally broke down and got a mini van. We could not fit three car seats in our Jeep so now we will have room for everyone when the baby arrives. Michael and Logan were really excited about the DVD player. The first picture is of Michael watching a movie on the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house this weekend. The other pictures are of the boys playing at the park. They still love the swings the best and kept running to them every time we tried to take them somewhere else. In one picture you can see Logan looking back to make sure Michael is following him:):)

Tour of the Fire Station

Brian and I took the boys to a playgroup at the fire station tonight. We got to take a tour and see the fire trucks. Michael and Logan are both running all over the place and in one picture you can see them trying to escape from Brian. After that episode they got locked down in the stroller. You can tell by their expressions how happy they were:):)

They are getting into everything and are very good at climbing.....I keep waiting to hear a thud and find them out of their cribs in the morning. Baby number three is also very active. He seems to be up kicking all hours of the day. Michael and Logan like to pat my belly and say baby. Their new favorite words are baby and cracker....and they love to shout HI NAHLA to the dog. Hopefully the new baby will be able to sleep through anything because it is never quiet in our house:):):)

Baby number three is a.....

BOY!!!

We had our ultrasound this week and learned that we are having a boy! As soon as his face popped up on the screen, Brian and I looked at each other and said...Oh my gosh he looks just like Logan and Michael! I can't wait to see if he really will look like them, but his ultrasound profile is amazingly similar to theirs! He looked great and was putting on quite the show for us. He stuck out his tongue and waved! I can already tell that he will not have any trouble keeping up with his two big brothers:):) and Brian will never have a hard time finding a foursome to play golf with!

I am posting all the boys US photos so you can see the similarity. Click on the photo to see a bigger version.

Dinner time with Logan and Michael

A few nights ago, Brian and I were making dinner and looked over to see Michael sitting in the drawer of my desk. This is now where he likes to be when I make dinner! Logan usually takes out all my metal bowls and bangs them around the kitchen. As you can only imagine, there is rarely a quiet moment in our house:):)

We have a walker.....

AND runner, AND climber, AND door opener! Michael has been trying to walk for a couple months now but after a few bad falls he has been very cautious. Finally this week he is not only walking but climbing on everything and can open all the doors in the house. Logan is not too far behind...he has been walking in between his toys in the playroom but so far has not figured out how to climb or open doors. I'm sure it won't be too long before they are both climbing out of their cribs to play together:):) Here are a couple of pictures taken last night.

Lake Vacation

We spent the past several days at my parent's lake home and celebrated the 4th of July there. The boys had so much fun swimming and riding on the tube. They were so worn out by the end of the day that they did not get to see any of the fireworks! I am posting a lot of new pictures of our fun visit to the lake.

Breakfast Bunch

Last Friday my friend Alyssa and I took our twins out to breakfast. This is a picture of everyone happy after eating lots of pancakes!

Silly boys!

Over the past few days I have gotten a lot of great video clips of the boys. The clips are pretty short but really funny!

Spaghetti dinner for the first time!

Our trip to the zoo

Brian is on vacation this week so we decided to take the boys to the zoo for the first time. The boys got to take turns riding on Brian's shoulders and loved looking at the animals! Click on the pictures to make them bigger:)

Guess what we're getting for Christmas!!!

The boys are proud to announce they will soon be BIG BROTHERS! We will be adding another member to our family at the end of December......just ONE this time:):) Brian's first comment when seeing the ultrasound was "Oh...just one baby....it looks so lonely in there!" I definitely don't mind taking care of two babies but being pregnant with them was a little challenging so I was happy to learn we are only having one this time. We are scheduled to find out if it is a boy or girl the first week of August - what a great b'day gift for Brian!

In the meantime the boys and I have been enjoying outdoor playgroups with some of our friends. We went to the splash park this past Friday and are planning a trip to the zoo next week. Michael is becoming quite a chatterbox. He has also begun to throw temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Logan just watches him and looks at him like he is crazy then snuggles up to me or Brian. I'm sure next week they will switch and Logan will be throwing temper tantrums and Michael will be the snugly one:):) I wonder what they will think of baby number 3!

Splash Park

I took the boys to a playgroup at a splash park this morning. We went with some of our other twin friends and the boys had a great time. As soon as they turned the water on, Michael took off towards the fountains. Logan was a little cautious at first (which surprised me since he is my adventurous one) but eventually had a good time. The boys were all over the place! Our friend brought some bowls and cups for the kids to collect water in and as you can see Michael was very happy playing with a plastic bowl. I think he thought it was a giant cup. Logan is sitting next to his friend Alex who is always fun to play with! The park is very close to our house so I think we will be making several trips there this summer. The boys had so much fun and it completely wore them out which means they should take a nice long afternoon nap:):)

Happy Memorial Day!

We just got back from my parent's house. The boys had a lot of fun swimming in the lake. They love to kick and splash!

First Haircut!

The boys got their first haircut today. They did so well! It helped that they got to watch Baby Einstein the whole time:):)

We need a haircut!

I have been putting off the boys first haircut as long as possible. Everyone says they won't look like babies anymore. After taking these pictures last night and looking at them, I think it is probably time:):)
