Little Menace

Crocker has turned into a very rowdy, rambunctious little boy. He is on the move from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to bed at night.
He is into everything and thinks he is a lot bigger than he is! While we were house hunting, we were in and out of hotels for a week.
Crocker had the best time of any of us!


He unrolled all of the toilet paper from the roll.



He got up in the chair and tried to push the lamp over.


One time, he opened the door and got out in the hallway. We quickly learned to latch the top.



He loves to look at himself in the mirror.


This picture shows his knocking skills. One morning we were going down to breakfast and he was knocking on all the other room doors.




He climbed into the dresser drawer.


Sheldon was working with Max on his reading and Crocker was climbing all over the top of the couch.


He fell on the concrete in a parking lot and scratched up his forehead.


He is such a little mess and is really a lot of fun!

New House!!!

We have been on a house hunting trip this past week. We could not find any rentals, so we were forced into buying a home.
We looked at a few and fell in love with one. We are so very excited and pending inspections and an appraisal, this will be our new home!







We feel so blessed to have found this home. I know that we will love living here and the boys will love playing in the backyard.

Family Time

We have been so blessed with great weather lately. We have been spending a lot of time outside. This gives the boys a chance to play, Sheldon a chance to clean out the garage, and me time to supervise! ha!

The boys got a little gift in the mail with strict instructions to let them pick something out at the store. Crocker picked a basketball goal.



Max picked a soccer goal.


Max is lucky and got to open his. Crocker is having to wait until we move. Sheldon and I were trying to teach Max how to play soccer. What an experience that was! He can play better in his bike helmet!



Crocker is still a doll and loves his daddy!



Max LOVES to ride his bike! Nothing would make him happier than to stay out all day riding. Crocker walks his bike all over.


He walked it right into the bushes and had to have a little help.


After a night of playing outside, we went to the pond to feed the ducks. The boys loved it and I am sire the ducks were a little traumatized after Max started chasing them with a stick!

Celebrating Valentine's Day

We had a good Valentine's Day. Sheldon was home in the morning and then headed off to work. The boys woke up and I made them heart shaped toast and scrambled eggs. Then, it was time to give the boys their Valentine's.
They each got 2 presents. Max was really excited about his.





Crocker was anxious for his turn!





Max got 2 games and Crocker got 2 things of blocks.

A few days after Valentine's, a package came for the boys. They were spoiled with more treats, candy, and fun things!



We had so much fun celebrating Valentine's Day with our boys. They are so special to us and so loved!

Zoo Day

One of the best purchases Sheldon and I ever made was a zoo membership. We have been so many times and the boys love it!

We got to the zoo and they boys needed a snack.



Now that Crocker is walking, he does not want to ride. He would much rather be out exploring!







He was able to go the petting zoo for the 1st time. He loved to sneak up behind the goat and give them a hug.




Max and I had fun playing around!


Their favorite part is always the carousel.





We had so much fun and will probably try to go another time or so before we leave!

Fun Days

We have been having such nice weather lately. We have tried to take full advantage and get the boys outside as much as possible. They have been riding bikes and going to the park.


Crocker is learning to ride his tricycle.


Max can pedal his tricycle like no other, but he has trouble pedaling his bike. Sheldon and him worked on it for awhile and he is starting to get the hang of it.



He was doing so good and was even standing up to pedal. He hit a little bump and fell off his bike.
He was all better after a little loving from his daddy.



After the bike riding, we packed up and headed to the park. Popcorn was really excited and ran like a mad man at the park.



Crocker loved swinging and Max found some other kids to play with. We had such a fun day!
