Here's a pic of the boys.

 James will not do this for me. So, every once in a while I take the boys to Target and get their pictures taken there. He will do anything for a different photographer. You name it and he will cooperate. Plus, I get the 8 x 10 prints for not much more than it would cost to print my own photos at Costco. 

A $20 well spent. 

Why is the quality so bad? Because our printer has decided that it no longer wants to print, make copies, or scan photos. So, here's a plagiarized picture of my picture.

This week has been a blast.
We went swimming to the rec center as a family.
Swimming at Ama's with Katelyn.
Kangaroo zoo plus a sleepover with Katelyn.
James pooped his pants because he was so preoccupied with playing out in our backyard.
Daniel, or rather "Piddles" as we so lovingly call him is like a male dog who pees everywhere and anywhere when he doesn't have anything on to cover him. And it's everywhere and all the time. When he plays ouside without a diaper everywhere I look I see a Daniel puddle.
 The boys adore each other! Currently they are cuddled up sleeping in on bed. They've been doing that most of the week.
I'm reading a super book right now: Dr Laura's Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. If you have a husband, read it.

My wonderful Hubs watched the kids Saturday morning so I could go on a long and GLorious bike ride on the Alpine Loop, which I biked, conquered, and loved!
Mikey bought some fireworks (so cute to see him absolutely light up like a little kid) and we had a little show with our neighbors (as did everyone with the expansion of legal fireworks)  and the boys loved it. James loved it! Last year he was scared out of his mind but he watched, loved, and pointed out all of the red ones.
