Colby has been practicing standing wherever possible.  Even on his brother who's trying to watch TV.

Mosquitoes had a party on Colby's face yesterday when we were outside in the warm weather.



I love this fuzzy, floppy bear of Colby's  He looks like I sometimes feel that the end of a day here :)

70 in February

We had a perfectly lovely 70 degree day in February today.  Jackson went to preschool.  I went to Home Depot to look at color samples for high chairs and our front door.  I finished painting the outside bathroom (which is infested with mosquitos at the moment, as is all of outside).  And it was so nice outside that Jackson wanted to run through the sprinklers.  Only it was a real struggle for him to get him to keep his underwear on.  He really wanted to run naked.  I almost would have let him, except I really wanted a picture of him running through the sprinkler in February.  So we told him the mosquitos would get him if he didn't keep his underwear on :)

Instagram & Ramblings

Two boys starting to *kindof* eat the same thing, yay!

Here is little Colby in his first shopping cart seat.  He is SUCH a good boy whenever we're out and about. (which isn't too often).  At home though, we're trying to get Colby to sleep through the night and he is resisting.  Hard.  He's got quite the stamina in the middle of the night and is determined to get what he wants.  Last night was much better, so hopefully he'll continue to get better and fingers crossed that at least he'll be sleeping through the night by the time he is one!

Valentine's Day

We had a fabulous Valentine's Day :)

Donnie was home the day before, so we went on the less crowded day to 5th Street Steakhouse, our favorite.



And then on VDay, did all fun heart things :)

Valentine's Boys

Okay, the iphone pictures are a bit boring.  I'm still doing them, but it goes, picture of Jackson, picture of Colby, picture of Jackson, picture of Colby, picture of some random thing from our day, picture of Jackson, etc.  Kind of boring.

These are from a few weeks ago :)  Even with boys, I will always love & celebrate Valentine's Day with them.  These pictures are going to be pretty much plastered around our house, so in love with our little guys.
