Another trip to the ER:(

Two trips to the ER in the past 6 months isn't too bad??? I have a feeling it is going to be a routine with my accident prone child! Luckily we made it out with only 2 staples to the head this time! I think Sam learned his lesson that dancing on the arm of the chair is not a good thing:) Especially when you have a faucett sticking out of the wall next to the chair (one of the perks of living in a million year old house)!

Crazy lil' men

I came home from a run one morning and this is what I found...all the boys in the tree! I think this was daddy's way of getting away from all the kids:) I was pretty impressed with his climbing skills...he even made it down without injuring himself.

Little Wrestling Match. Jack is now seeking revenge on his brother for all the times he got beat up:) It is so funny to watch them because it is a pretty fair fight most of the time and Sam is now the one who usually ends up crying:)

Looks like Jack lost this match!

First taste of corn on the cob for Jack. It sure was messy but they loved it!

Dinosaurs and Monkeys

Mommy got brave and decided to take the boys to the zoo by herself!! Other than getting a flat tire in the stroller things went pretty well! Thank goodness for stroller rentals! The boys absolutely loved all the animals, all Jack could say the whole time was "oooo - oooo" and he pointed at everything. Sam has been trying to teach his brother animal sounds but so far he has only conquered the horse and duck:) It was a great day and I think we will be back for many more visits!

Sam loves the monkeys - we spent a great amount of time watching them:)

We made the mistake of letting Sam catch part of Jurassic part one night...it scared him to death but he has been so fascinated with dinosaurs ever since. I finally found a Disney dinosaur movie which has been a lot better for him:) They have had this dinosaur display at the mall which is really cool....the dinosaurs all growl and move and there is a train that goes through the display. Well, Sam thought he wanted to ride it so we bought him a ticket, he chickened out:( He stood around there for a while and decided he wanted to ride it, finally daddy gave in and bought another ticket...he loved it!!

Happy 4th!!

We had a great 4th of July...we rented a huge bouncy house for all the kiddos to play in! They had a blast and were entertained for hours and hours...this was good for the grown -ups, we wre actually able to sit around, relax, and do a little sunbathing:) Next on the list is the giant waterslide for Sam's b-day!!

Daddy even got a chance to kick back and relax!! It was a very warm day and we probably went through a box of popsicles per kid - Jack was a mess as you can see!! We hosed him off every hour or so:)

We took the boys to the fireworks on base - unfortunately the trees blocked our view from most of the show but they had more fun running around anyways!

"It's a BIG Boat"

A huge aircraft carrier came into Pearl Harbor the other day...it was pretty amazing!

Sam and his buddy enjoying the boat!

Rats!

Yes, that is right, RATS, we have RATS!! I never knew rats enjoyed bananas so much. Last week I woke up two days in a row to my bananas being half eaten by these nasty little creatures! After living in our neighbors attic for months, housing finally decide to repair the hole in their roof, however they didn't take care of the rats before they did this and they got trapped in the attic. I guess they were getting hungry so they ventured down to my kitchen..YUCK! Finally they sent some "rat professionals" to take care of the problem...only one has been caught so far so we will see...I haven't seen any evidence of them for about a week so I keep hoping they all died!! I just have to keep reminding myself where I am living:)

A Day in the Life of Jack and Sam

A little swinging...cheetoes....playing outside...cheeotes....bike rides...cheetoes...boo-boos...cheetoes...and a little dress up! And don't forget the popsicles!

This did not end well....Jack ended up doing a complete flip out of the swing...mommy thought it was funny, Jack not so much:(

We will blame this boo-boo on daddy! Daddy was pushing Jack in his car and Jack decided he was done and jumped over the hood of the car however daddy was still pushing! Just a little road rash...it has healed up nicely:)

Thanks G-ma Gloria and G-pa Dick for the awesome costumes! Sam and his friend Collin have so much fun dressing up as Buzz and Woody! The only downfall is they take forever to get off so Bizz and Woody have gotten peed on several times:)

We average at least a can of these bad boys a day!

It finally rained the other day and boy did these two have fun in the puddles!! I am tempted to flood the driveway everyday so they have something to do!

Sam is getting so good at riding his bike...he can make it all the way up the trail along Pearl Harbor! Jack is diggin this because he finally gets to ride up front and see out!
