just havin' fun

A big Austin, and an up-side-down little Austin

This is why we don't let Luke do his own hair

He looks like the guy from Twilight with this hair

video on the top: So most people know I've been training for my first half marathon (my "thon" as I like to call it). Anyway, what most people DON'T know is that Luke has been training with me!

video on the bottom: Luke really loves Jensen. He loves to wrestle him, play with him and most of all make him smile or laugh. He is so good at it too and SO cute because it's so genuine. I wish I could catch the cutest stuff he does to make Jensen laugh, but since that seems impossible to get, this will have to do.

Sunny Weather

I really like this picture of mom. It was such a warm, sunny day - and spring break! Who wouldn't be happy?

Another Friday at dad's office for $1 lunch. This time, mom, Dillon and Cassidy came! It was really fun and so nice outside that we ate our there. Luke enjoyed the ice cream at the end! Dillon and Cass were so nice to watch the kids for us that night while Austin and I went on a date. Such good siblings.

Whenever Cassidy and Jensen are in the same room she has to be holding him! What a good aunt. She always says, "I can't help myself - he is just SO CUTE! I just can't help myself!" They're pretty cute together too!

The goodbye hug when she wouldn't see Jensen again for a couple of hours!

Now Dillon is "Mr. Cool." Nice diamonds on the side of them glasses, Dilly.

Luke's new favorite thing is helping to wash the dishes - mostly because he gets to play in the bubbles in the meantime. He is always saying "more bubbles, mom." but not that clearly of course.

Jensen has recently been able to steady himself sitting up in the bath. Now these two have SO much fun in there! Neither of them ever want to get out. Luke's favorite part about the bath lately is that he gets to use his water gun in there. Yesterday he learned that he's NOT allowed to shoot his brother. This picture was just before he learned that...Jensen was so unexpecting...

Luke tried to claim ignorance...

Look at those chubby arms! I will really miss the fat rolls all over his body when he starts crawling in a couple of months and totally loses it all.

Luke always has a good time at dad's office when we visit him. He loves to look out the window at the passersby. I think he's really heckling them.

Now that Jensen is a little older and less fragile, Luke thinks that he can really wrestle with him. Jensen usually doesn't mind it either (though this clip is not one of those times) and laughs and really enjoy it....too much of their dad in them...I don't think Luke got his love of doing dishes from his dad...

This N That

What a sad little boy, his kite crashed.

Jensen and his shades...Mr. Cool

Last summer, Bethany bought these kites for 50 cents, on Friday we flew them at a park. It was AWESOME! The weather and wind were perfect. We didn't even have to run with them or anything, REALLY fun! Thanks Bethany!

Such a pretty park. Jensen wasn't much into the day, but Luke had a lot of fun.

It was kind of cold and windy, hence Austin's sweatshirt around Luke and his leather jacket on Jensen.

This is the first in a series of pictures we took of Jensen, all of them are just as cute but just in case people are sick of cute pictures of Jensen, we only put up this one. If you want more (Ash) just let me know.

The boys and I decided to started a new tradition where we go visit dad at his office on Fridays when they serve lunch for $1. This was actually our first Friday and Derek happened to be there too. It was really fun! Dad took a bite right before the picture.

Jensen has been sitting up by himself for a couple of weeks now. He still hasn't rolled over yet.

Austin is convinced that Luke is going to be offered a contract by the NHL by the time that he's 18. I guess we can start him in hockey next year, in Iowa. Austin has already looked into it. He's for real.

Austin is "ready to go pro" too.
