August Boys
Well, the boys are still changing and growing...
Ben has started really jabbering and his favorite word is "hot!" That can mean "hot" or "eat" (since i usually say "hot" when setting food in front of him) or "drink". He also signs a few words: "eat" "more" "drink" "finished" "nurse" and he waves bye-bye. he loves to wrestle, like his big bro and daddy, and he loves to snuggle, too. He is still attached to his passy and blue blankie. he is quite the eater. He will eat just about anything and lots of it. he often out-eats Sam, and that is saying a lot. For dinner he had rice, beans, taco meat, cheese, and milk - soy milk. Ben loves to play outside and his favorite thing is to get sprayed by the water hose and to plop in the dirt and get absolutely covered in mud and water. indoors, he is most commonly seen toting a book around. he loves to "read". When we go out, sometimes he tries to be bashful, but is really quite loud and social. He loves to shriek in places that reverberate, especially Wal-Mart; that makes for an interesting trip. He is just growing up so fast, and it has been so much fun getting to see his unique personality shine through.
Sam is quite the conversationalist these days. He is always asking questions and trying to figure things out. The other day we were working on memorizing "Every good and perfect gift is from above" and he thoughtfully asked, "does God just drop that gift down from way up high?" He wants to know where God is? Does God have 2 names? He is always making me laugh. he is also very independent. He often has an alternative way of doing something i have asked him to do, and is quick to share it with me. I quote "love is patient, love is kind" out loud to myself several times throughout the day :) his greatest achievement was dismantling the towel wrack from the wall the other day in an attempt to trapeze from it. now he is learning about joint compound, and how to repair a hole in the wall. Sam also has the most tender heart of any little boy i know. The other day i was angry with him and he went to the window and looked out and said, "Mama, you have some birds in the back yard...3 birds...mama, i just want to help you be happy." He will melt your heart. He also takes such good care of Ben and looks out for him, like a little mother hen. He also speaks for Ben...i will say, "Ben are you finished eating?" and Sam will pipe up, "Ben says, 'no'" He is just a great little kid and i am so blessed to witness each day, every day with him.

Ben's 1st Birthday!!
Sam and Emily are playing the drum that Ben got for his b-day. They are so cute!!
Ben loved his balloons
Ben got a monster truck from the Klinghamers. It's really cool.
Sam got a cool hyper-color football from Nana%5B1%5D.JPG)
Ben is trying to figure out if he wants to eat the strawberry shortcake or not. He just played with it and ate some of the cool whip.

Update March 31, 2009
Big Daddy played at the park with Sam, during his last visit. (notice the classic Big Daddy grimace on his face...it is priceless...)
GREAT pic of Aunt Aaralyn and Ben!!
Big Daddy hanging with the boys.
Ben is into EVERYTHING these days. He crawls, pulls up, walks holding on to furniture...won't be long before he is walking.
Sam had a Birthday Party. The theme was "Cars". He still doesn't like icing, so I baked individual cupcakes and left the icing off of his :)
Action photo of Aunt Aaralyn and Ben. We love having Aunt Aaralyn come over more frequently, now that we live closer.
Ben is a mess after gumming a teething biscuit
Emily and Sam are so cute!!! They have a blast playing together!! Thanks for visiting Emmy!!
Sam and Ben are sporting their new p.j.s that Nana bought them. Ben was not being very cooperative and so Sam had to wrangle him.
Ben LOVES his bath-time.
Sam got a new guitar from Nana. He had been wanting one for a long time. He plays it and jams out with the best of them. His favorite song on it is "love shack" :) It is really cool. It even has a whammy bar!
The boys. (not sure what Sam's cheesy smile was all about?)
Sam finally got some sand for his sand box.
Ben is showing off, how he can unload the dishes.
Snow in March!! Sam made "a yot of snow ansels"

Laughing
I am trying to find the humor in more things, lately. Today, my biggest laugh came from Sam's comment to me: "Mama, I love you soooo much, but even when you are fussy." -I love my boys!!
Ben is pulling up and crawling everywhere. He has 4 teeth now, and is becoming quite his own little person. He is very sensitive, and not a bit cautious.
Sam is talking up a storm. He loves feeding the birds (we have a bird feeder outside), and playing in his new purple sand.

some december pics
Some more recient pics. It's not much, but we have been really busy. We are moving this weekend to Jenks, OK. new house, new friends, new library, new parks, new, new, new...we are excited and nervous.
Sam had a blast helping us set up the Christmas Tree.
Sam really loves his little cars. He "vrooms" them everywhere all day long. He has quite a collection of about 17 now (Thanks to Nana and Papa and Uncle James).
Ben is just as smiley as ever. He has two teeth now and weighs 14 pounds. He also army-man crawls all over the house. It won't be long before he is crawling on all fours.
