Nothing new to report, really. Mark and I got to get out on Saturday for a party and a movie. Grandma and Grandpa stayed with the boys. Boy was I ready to see them by the time I got home. I had to sneak into their rooms and watch them in their cribs. Other than that, Mark and I just stayed home and hung out with the kiddos.

Thanks for stopping in to look at the boys.

Just a few new pics

Colvin climbed up on his rocking horse all by himself.

Nolan can't quite get on by himself yet. Colvin also likes to play under the horse. Looks painful.

We might be famous!

Hello All. Today my parents and I took the boys down to our splash pad to play in the water. Because the pad is owned by the builder of the development I live in, it is for residents' use only. It's quite fabulous. Anyway, a TV show was down there taping this morning, doing a feature on our development and stuff. Maybe the boys will show up on the show. I don't know yet when it will air, but you can bet that I'll be watching when it does. I just hope that I didn't accidentally wonder in front of the camera. Yikes. My parents took a bunch of pictures while we were there so if they send me some I will add them to the post. Right now I must go check on Colvin. He doesn't normally cry after I put him down for a nap but he's bumming about something right now. I'll go check it out.

Train wreck

I had to share a funny little story from today. I needed to go downtown to pick up a library book so I thought I'd stop by my old office and say hi to everyone while I was in the neighborhood. So in I go. I'm trying to get my huge double stroller in a big heavy door that closes by itself and I back into a glass-topped table that is just inside the door and stacked with broshures. Boom, clang, clang, boom!!!!! The glass and broshures fall down, but thank God the glass didn't break. I was just waiting for Randy to rush from his office and yell at me to get out and never come back. He wouldn't - he's too nice for that. But he might think it. :) And although I was looking forward to seeing my old boss, I was very greatful to find out that he's out of town. :) Especially with what happened next. We let the boys out of the stroller and they went into the conference room and locked themselves inside. I didn't panic at first, but then we couldn't find a key and I realized the damage they could/would do when they noticed the computer cords and all those tax files. I'm starting to have a heart attack watching the boys through the glass door as they head for the files. Vicky called maintenance to bring a key, but we finally found one before they could get there. The gals got busy for a second with client calls so I put the boys back in the stroller and Colvin had a meltdown. He started screaming so I high-tailed it out of there before we could cause any more damage. Sometimes I think it's just better to stay home.

Happy Father's Day

Here's a big Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there. I'm trying to put together some very kind thoughts and words, but Mark keeps talking to me. I need silence! I need to concentrate! Okay, he's sufficiently busy feeding breakfast to the boys that I should be able to complete a thought. Maybe. Nope. I guess I'll come back later and edit this post. I need to add pics of Colvin too - he was napping when I took these. More later....

Okay, I did manage to snap this picture of Mark and the boys. I was a total dufus and didn't get one of my dad with them when my parents were here earlier. We had a low-key day just ordering pizza and hanging out. So here's my kind words and thoughts. I've always had the most incredible parents. They are kind and gentle, loving and caring. They are generous of themselves and their hearts. We have never wanted for anything from my parents. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being the best parents I could ever imagine. I love you both so much. Happy Father's Day, Dad. As for Mark, he is the best father I could have ever hoped for for my children. He loves them like crazy, plays with them even when he's dead tired, jumps right in and does whatever needs to be done to help take care of them after he's had a long day at work. He's a sweet soul and a terrific dad. Happy Father's Day, Honey. I love you. Our boys are so lucky to have you for their dad.

Mark, Colvin and Nolan on Father's Day

Nolan loves to read - he just loves books.

I just had to go in the other room and see what was going on since Colvin was complaining about something. He had climbed into and was sitting in the walker all by himself. Since he got into it by himself I let him figure out how to get back out. He complained alot but he eventually figured it out.

We also want to wish a big Happy Birthday to Grandpa Ed. We hope you have a great day and we wish you were here so we could wish you happy birthday properly.

"Help! I'm stuck. I got in and I can't get out."

"Yeah! I did it. I got out all by myself."
