More Zoo and Fort Collins

Last week, we got to go to the zoo again with Isaac! It was so much fun. Those boys are as busy as can be. It was really funny because a 12 year old boy tripped over Thomas and fell. Isaac got protective over Thomas and yelled at the kid and threw his little French fry at the poor kid. It was hilarious! They enjoyed the zoo just as much as ever--soon all of the boys will know that zoo as well as Kevin does.

On Saturday, we went up to Fort Collins with my mom to see Ryan and Jordane. We had a BUSY day. We went to a wonderful park--one of the best parks I have ever been to--and then we took the kids swimming. Lucas and Thomas are quite afraid of the big swimming pool. They are fine dangling their feet in the water, but they cry and cry as soon as we try to submerse them in the water. On the other hand, Kevin is a water boy. He has absolutely no fear of the water--he jumps off the edge into the pool, could care less when he goes under the water, and loves trying to swim. All and all, it was a great time. And we just love hanging out with Uncle Ryan. He is such a wonderful uncle to the boys. They just love him with all their little hearts. Thomas even started saying his name, "Ry-ry."

As for other things going on in our lives: Kevin is attending Vacation Bible School this week and having a blast. He loves to learn. Lucas and Thomas are starting to increase their little vocabularies. They are both saying "Spongebob" which seems like a pretty weird word (especially since they don't watch the show or anything). Thomas is mocking me now each time I say "no" to him (which is frequently) by repeating back to me: "No, no, no, no, no." Thomas has perfected the word "Snack" since that is one of his favorite things in the world. He is also perfecting his manners by saying "please" and "thank you." Lucas still signs the sign language for "please." But he is starting to jabber more, so I think he is starting to come out of that quiet shell of his.

Here's another mini-photo album--I just have such a hard time picking only a couple of pictures!

Aren't they precious?


These are the four cutest backsides I've ever seen!
