Hilarious Boys!!

Hello all!

We have a couple of videos for you, as well as a picture.....so short post, but it's well worth it!!

First of all -- I am a fan of "Dancing with the Stars" and was watching it the other night after we had given the boys a bath. Alex likes to run around the house naked for a while, but what he did next was just hysterical! Luckily enough, we were able to get him to do it a few more times while we got the camera ready. Please sheild your eyes from the nudity.....I can't figure out how to sensor videos! :) Prepare to laugh!! :)

Do you think that we should submit that to America's Funniest Home Videos?? Let us know!!

This next one is a Daddy invented game....so there's a lot of creativity! Things that I would NEVER imagine doing with my boys...he does it and they love it! Tonight was especially fun because the boys had very little "Daddy time" for the past 24 hours....so they really ate it up tonight. (Last night Andy umpired two TBS games, and didn't get home until almost 11 when the boys were already asleep...and he left this morning at 7.....before the boys got up. PLUS he didn't make it home for lunch today because he was making a presentation at his company over the lunch hour! They MISSED him!!!) Also on this video is Alex running around in underwear!!! I am not even going to imagine that this is for real this time....but he went potty at least 5 times ON HIS OWN tonight...so it's a very small start! He's pretty excited about his Elmo and Thomas the Train underwear....so we may get somewhere...but I'm not going to hold my breath just yet. :) Anyway....on to the funny video.......

And our picture.....Zach doing the "sprinkler" (For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a dance move)......

Hope you all have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend! We're off to Colorado! :) (And when we return we should have a front deck!!!) :) :) :) :)

Whoa

Sorry that it's been forever - life with two boys is never dull, and updating the blog takes quite a bit of time.

However, Christine is now on summer break (YAY!), so that's her job this morning. :)

All 4 of us are doing well....Zach's stil growing like a weed, we think that crawling isn't too far off. He's also become quite interested in pulling himself up on things...he's getting pretty strong. Alex is just hilarious...his favorite question right now is, "Where are you?" He'll find whoever is not in the room that he is in, and then ask. Most time one of us is in the kitchen, so he'll ask that person, "Where are you??" He's just too funny. He still loves being outside, so this summer will be a lot of fun for him. Daddy will be umpiring this summer, so at least he'll be making some money while still enjoying baseball. His first game is this Wednesday, the 20th, so that should be fun for him. (I am not too sure how I'll juggle two boys, but I am sure that I can find a way.) :)

OK, on to the pictures (and videos!!)

Zach playing with his feet.....

He doesn't let his belly get in the way!!

Zachy's first prunes......(There's a gross story that goes along with that....it involves two loads of laundry, around 25 baby wipes, and a garden hose, so I'll let it go as this is a family blog.) :) Call if you want the details. :)

Mmmmm....prunes.....

Passed out on the couch....

Whoops! Wrong boy in the baby carrier!!

Zach with Alex's harmonica

Alex found some of Daddy's old glasses, and silliness ensued.

Alex made Mommy get in on the action.

Alex and Zach in the backyard. Alex is telling the first of many, many secrets to Zach.

Yep, he's going to bop him on the head....

Whoops, Mommy caught me! I wasn't doing anything!!

This was Daddy and Alex in the backyard. Silliness, silliness, silliness!!!

And video of Zach. My arm was hit mid-video by someone with a ball....you can blame it ALL on Andy.

That's all we have. Hopefully we'll be able to post before another month passes......

Zach's 6 month update

Sorry folks - no pics, just a quick post.

Zach had his 6-month checkup today...and all went well.

He's 20 lbs., 27 1/4 inches long, and 41 cm on his head circumference. All looked good, Dr. Julie loved how smiley he was, and amazed at how well he stood on his chubby little legs. She also laughed at his silly personality - she got quite the shyness and smiles while we were there. He got 5 shots (ouch!), but seems to be doing well as long as we stay on top of the Tylenol and ibuprofen.

Mommy also got a shot today...when I was pregnant with Zach my bloodwork showed that I was low on my MMR booster. So, I got that one in the arm (while holding a crying baby).

As for Andy and Alex, they are also doing well. Alex is working on everyone's names.....Alex James Bowin, Zachary Michael Bowin, Daddy Michael Bowin.....he can't quite get Mommy Ellen Bowin yet, but that's ok. :) Only 6 days of school left for me, I can't wait (although the seniors are done today, so that will help with the overall atmosphere of the school).......spending time with my boys this summer.....it's almost here!! YAY!!

That's it folks! Pics sometime soon!
