Pizza Night!

Making pizzas on Friday night.




And, yes, that is green bandage on Gordon's head. He took a head dive into the wall - twice. The second time he put a small crack in the wall - no kidding!. Here is a photo of Gordon at about 17 months of age, after the the first of many head dives he has taken in his short life.

The Karate Kid

Cameron has begun to take karate lessons. Here he is proudly sporting his new "gee" on the first day of class.

Jo Baby!

Aunt Nancy Jo (a.k.a. Jo Baby) was in town for a few days last weekend. Here's a cute photo of her and the boys.

Growth Spurt Maybe?

Gordon's lunch one day last week . . . no kidding here:

half a turkey and cheese sandwich
half an apple
2 bananas
2 bowls of oatmeal

People have been commenting on how much he appears to have grown in the last month. Hmmm, I wonder why?!?!?

More than Meets the Eye . . .

Transformers! Target was sold out of Transformers after Christmas, but they finally received a shipment so the boys were able to use their gift cards. Thank you Aunt Kjelse, Uncle Brad, and Haric!

A Good Start to 2008 . . .

With almost two weeks of 2008 under our belt, we can say that we've been having a good time! Take a look at the following photos to see what we've been up to.

Last weekend we visited the Albuquerque (Art) Museum for the Family Day event tied to the Egyptian exhibit. The boys visited the art area where Cameron made a cool color-transfer project.



Like his older brother, Gordon has not proven to be too receptive to potty training, but he's still two months away from the age Cameron was when he trained almost overnight, so we're keeping our fingers crossed! The other night I finally got Gordon to sit on the potty for an extended period of time. (And he went - yeah!) Here he is "waiting for the pee-pee to come" and playing his harmonica to pass the time. He took several breaks from sitting on the potty to do some very important things such as walking around the house with a red toy bin on his head!




We also made a toilet paper roll ramp like the one Cameron saw in a magazine. The boys had fun trying to roll a ball into a cup.




And finally, what's more fun than playing with play dough??? Making it of course! Here are some photos of Cameron making and kneeding his play dough, and then playing with the finished project. We haven't had enough snow to make a snowman this year, but Frosty the Blue Snowman is a good substitute!
