Spring

At the beginning of the month we visited Castle Island so that we could watch the planes land. It turned out to be a beautiful Spring day. Both boys enjoyed the airplanes. Kevin made friends with a little boy at the playground while Jason enjoyed his time throwing rocks into the ocean and yelling, "It's a beautiful day!"

Enjoy!

Jason throwing rocks. Look carefully and you can see the rock sailing through the air.











Kevin, annoyed by me taking his picture.




Joyful Jason at the beach.









Belated March Post

Just a quick post with some photos from March. Jason is showing us his cool dude look in Calvin Klein sunglasses. Below that Jason is clearly expressing his love for ice cream. Kevin gives Mom a big hug. One of his new "things" is to say "I'm a boy. You're my Mom and I love you." Then he gives me a great big hug and throws his head back laughing loudly. I love this game.



If he were to ask me for a pony afterwards, I'd probably say yes.

Mr. Peanut

Jason was given a doctor's kit for Christmas. The stethoscope serves as more than a piece of medical equipment. It's also a tuba, a trombone and a monocle. When Jason isn't busy being a baseball player, a football player or Shaun White, he likes to pretend to be Mr. Peanut. Here's a quick clip of Mr. Peanut. That's a cane in his left hand and his "monocle" in his right hand.

In a cleaning mood, I moved all the photos that Joe and I have taken lately to an external drive. Those photos are currently inaccessible so today's post will be brought to you by Jason. He's been a busy boy with his camera. Enjoy!

Here's the robot (a lego one).








Different day, different toy. Toy airplane








Mimi and Papa on TV last weekend.








Dad took this one today. No NASCAR race so we played with Kevin's slot car race track and held our own race, the Doherty 200.

Dad, up close and personal.

Happy Birthday Kicky and Jumpy!

The big T-H-R-E-E!






Kicky and Jumpy turned 3 today. A big day! The boys started off the day with the standard play and "let's stay in our pajamas" routine. We eventually made our way downstairs to find a bevy of balloons. Dad came through with loads of Lightning McQueen balloons. Jason started off the day in style by asking for cupcakes and candles. I like the way he thinks. But, no, that was not on the menu for breakfast.

So, breakfast and then Mom and Dad were off to work. The boys had a great day playing with Sue and being the Birthday Duo.

Birthday dinner consisted of pizza and cupcakes with Mater and Lightning McQueen. Then presents! Trucks, cars, trains, books, toys, fun, fun, fun!

I'll let the images do the talking.



































































Happy Birthday Boys!

Sick, then well, then Oh well

Hi - Yes 4 posts, one after the other, bang bang bang. Well, I've got a bit of time and am still able to keep my eyes open so I'll post one last thing. Everyone here except for me has had the stomach flu for the past week or 2. We're all beat, some of us more than others. The boys have basically recuperated enough that last night's pizza stayed in/down. They both are tired and tempers do flare however.

At the end of Monday's nap, Jason was rocking and singing very loudly. This went on for quite some time. Then I heard a loud thwack and then a thump followed by Jason saying,'Oww. Kevin. That was my back. Owww."

Silence. Then, more singing and rocking. Then, another thwack and a thump. Another "Oww. Kevin. That was my back. Oww." This statement was repeated 2 more times. Now, when I say that Jason is rocking and singing. We're not talking some cutsey, sweet baby-like stuff. No, we're talking hard-core, banging on the crib slats and singing like a Saturday sinner at Sunday mass....good and loud. So, I think to myself, "Jason, I don't blame him. Kevin puts up a with a lot from you. Get the hint."

Well, I'd given each boy 3 books at nap so you know where this is going, right? More singing and rocking followed by a third thwack and a third thump. After Kevin ran out of ammo, they started to talk and laugh and things improved. Until, I heard Jason shrieking. Apparently, he reached out to Kevin (for forgiveness perhaps? I'll never know). I ran upstairs to find Jason in tears, his finger with a large tooth shaped indent and Kevin lying in his crib quietly but not repentantly.

So, like I said, tempers have flared.

More Pictures

Long time no post, eh? My bad. All work and no play makes for a dull blog but thanks for hanging in there. This one is mostly pictures of Christmas Eve. There are a few stories to be posted and I'll save those for another day. Let's just say that some people are able to vocalize their feelings very well while others choose to express themselves by biting and throwing books. No names to protect the innocent. Enjoy the pictures and no, Kevin has not grown a mustache. That is smudged M&Ms.




I corral Kevin long enough to give him a Christmas AM kiss.
