I took the boys to their routine dental cleaning on Wednesday. Both got glowing reports! Theo was leery this time around and I had to pretty much hold him down for the cleaning part of the visit. He perked up when the dentist came by to check things out. Jack did great through the whole appointment. Go boys!

Out with the old......

The furniture we bought right after Theo was born turned out to be a MAJOR disappointment. The pillow cushions were ripping away from the frame and we were getting poked in the back by springs! Not good. So I sold that stuff on Craigslist to a student who was happy to get cheap furniture and Dave and I picked out two new sofas. We also have a swivel chair coming...... Here is Jack enjoying the empty space for a couple of hours this morning. The boys were crazy with excitement!

Hornets camp

Jack started a mini basketball camp run by the New Orleans Hornets at our gym. It meets once a week for 5 weeks and then the campers perform before a Hornets game at the New Orleans arena. Today the campers learned some basic skills from Coach Dan and Hugo the hornet. Jack had never really dribbled a basketball prior to today and is the youngest camper...... so he's got his work cut out for him. But he's having fun and had a big smile on his face the whole time.

Graysen is 5!

Jack's best little friend from school turned 5 today and celebrated with a party at a bounce house place. Jack and his friends just jumped and jumped and worked up quite a sweat. That's the best sign of a good time at this age ;) Happy birthday, Graysen!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The boys have so many people that love them and we are very, very blessed! They got scores of sweet valentines in the mail from friends and family. Many had stickers, money or even gift cards! Wow. Here is our celebration mantle full of the cards they received. Uncle Dane and Aunt Debbie brought over huge stuffed animals for them that they LOVE. Gigi and Dada also indulged them with toys from Toys R Us (which they are playing with at the very second). Happy Valentine's Day to everyone from our family!!

Spanish Town parade

We traveled over to Baton Rouge this weekend for the Spanish Town parade and just to have a visit with Gigi and Dada. Jack is Mr. Mardi Gras and totally works it for some beads. Theo, on the other hand, could really care less and wanted only to run into crowds of people. We all took turns keeping tabs on Theo. There was about a 2 hour wait from when we parked the car until the parade came to where we were standing so we really had to be creative with entertaining the kids. Dave bought the boys whistles and I brought their Valentine cookies along. The cookies alone got us 30 minutes ;) We ended up leaving about 1/2 way through the parade since Theo was clearly done with it all. Jack could have stayed hours more. Hope Theo can shape up by Tuesday for all the big Mardi Gras day parades in New Orleans.........

Boy explosion!

This is what our house looks like these days. I pulled 11 or 12 bags of the boys' clothes down from the attic to sort. Everything from itty bitty baby stuff to Jack's 4T things from last year. I found tons of 3T stuff for Theo that I had totally forgotten about! I have 3 friends that are having boys and are in need of boy clothes. Ask and you shall receive ;) I think I'm most excited about my best friend finding out that she's expecting a BOY! I'll have a niece and a nephew to spoil now. And pass down boy stuff to. Woo hoo!!
