Our Funny Boys

Recently took some funny pictures of the boys that capture what they're like right now. The one above is my favorite, I think. :) My Dad captured that one at the wedding. I have really enjoyed having my days with my little boys. It has been funny as I remember this stage with the girls at these ages and it has been even funnier to contrast the difference between each set. Our girls were definitely entertaining and funny in their own way, but these boys win in terms of being a lot more physical.

Spencer is so funny - as well as your typical, demanding 3-year-old. He's so much more aggressive (and heavier) than the girls were, but I also get such a kick out of his funny humor. Above we were raking the leaves and he was loving it! I have discovered, and Michael constantly reminds me, that if I can keep him doing something physical - or even wrestle him myself - he is his happiest self. Evidenced by this picture. I remind myself that one day as he learns to channel all that enthusiasm and aggression, it will make him a productive person. :)

David is so cute right now. Here he is in Emma's doll's bed. He smiled and said, "Eeesh!" (cheese) when we took the picture. He is saying new words every day. Saturday morning while Michael and I were making breakfast, he started yelling, "Rizz! Rizz!" and we wondered what he was trying to say. Then he yelled, very clearly, "Breffast!" So he was trying to call the kids to breakfast. He is still infatuated with pictures of animals. He saves his most enthusiastic giggles for when he knows he is doing something he shouldn't - like climbing up to Catherine's bunk, or trying to run away.

One night as I went to check on the kids before I went to bed, I went to Spencer's bed first and he wasn't there. I looked on the floor, under his bed, behind the rocking chair and didn't see him. Then I turned around and found him here. Pretty cute.
