Brandon doesn't love when I take pictures of him can you tell?

This is what Brandon has done to his part of the wall in his room.

So Brandon is constantly telling us what "ga-noys" him or who is "ga-noying". I think I am going to wet my pants everytime he says it. I love it so much that I don't want to correct him.

Others that I love right now are Ethan's "munch box" and his "school practice". He takes a lunch with him wherever we go each moring because he hardly eats anything for Breakfast and he is hungry. He takes his "cold munch" or his "munch box". He hears us talk about whether or not Tyler is going to be taking hot or cold lunch at school. His "school practice" is whatever he did that day because the other boys are at school and so why shouldn't he be? The older boys have both school and baseball practice so....last night he told us ALL about his baseball game. The other day we were at Brian's parent's house and they all went up to the golf course to play a little golf. They came back down for dinner and Ethan could not stop talking about his golf game. I mean it's hard to describe what it is like when this kid won't shut up. He talks constantly and demands your full attention so that you CANNOT have any other converstaions or even thoughts to yourself. He is so busy. He is however almost totally potty trained which is so nice! He is doing fairly well! The older boys have been really excited to help him and they have been a lot of help. They ask him all the time if he wants to go potty with them.

He now changes his clothes ALL day long into 20 different outfits which I hate. Brandon went through this stage as well and they both insist on basketball shorts and short sleeve T-shrits every day of the week rain, snow or shine. It's a fight always to get pants and coats on them. This use to frustrate me so much with Brandon so now that Ethan is doing it, I am more realxed but it is still annoying.

My neighbor wants to be a hairdresser and so has gotten a professional chair in her garage and she has all the stuff to cut the boys hair. I usually just use it and do it myself. So this morning I told Tyler and Brandon that we were going to go to the neighbors and use her proffessional chair this time to cut their hair. He looked at me and said, "But you aren't a proffessional hair dresser mom." Wow, is he already 13? I laughed so hard and he didn't understand why I thought he was so funny. After about 10 seconds he realized how clever that was and started to laugh with me. He is getting old and wise! He is doing really well at baseball and he loves it. Brandon is still waiting for the warm weather to arrive and stick around so he isn't so cold in T-ball. Me too. I watch from the car lately it has been so cold and windy.

Something the boys remembered the other day that I will share for the sake of not forgetting a funny story. I made Campbells regular old chicken noodle soup one time for Tyler when he was like 4. I set it in front of him and he started crying. I asked him what was the matter and he looked up at me and said, "it smells like a toot! I can't eat it." I thought I was going to die laughing, he just got mad at me.

Brandon the Baby Rocker 2006

We rediscovered this lately of Brandon when he was about 18 months. The other kids are neighbors at the time. I didn't get the best of the head banging, but I got some, and dang it's funny.

All Things Random

Someone wants to wear underwear!! He is sort of getting it, but I wonder. Today was pretty good.

Have you ever seen a cuter tush?

Or a more excited boy about his fire engine red UndieS?

Brandon had his annual Bike-a-thon at his preschool last week. This is his teacher Miss Betty, she is just a little bit old! She is great, has been teaching like.....forever.

This is his best friend and our neighbor SAM

It was not a race but Brandon couldn't be convinced.

Ethan on his trike that he LOVES!

This is the entrance to the caves that we exlpored a couple of weeks ago. That is Brian and Brandon.

Here is Tyler with the beautiful scenery

Here is Crazy #1 and #2

This picture I took accidentally while playing with my camera but I love it. A nice day, the cul-de-sac that live on that I love and it looks like I might just be by myself for small moment.

This is a video that I took trying to get some words of Ethan talking on camera. He is so cute while he talks. (Ignore the things I am saying in the video, I am just trying to get him hammed up, I annoy myslef when I hear myself talking.)

So here are some cute stories as of "late". The boys went with Brian to Sonic Burger a couple of Saturdays ago and the older boys were asking for "purple slushies". Ethan wanted one too but his interpretation of it was "I want a BROWN FLUSHY!!!!" They were lauging so hard and of course Brian followed it with something like "we already did that earlier in the bathroom Ethan!" They told me the story after I got home and they could hardly tell it to me they were laughing so hard.

Brandon is pretty funny as you know and his thing lately is that things are "gannoying". He is always telling the things that are "gannoying", so funny. Some things we were remembering about him as a two year old are how he would tell me that he was poopy. He would come and yell "ah poo ah ah!" and pull at my leg. That would be how I would know to change him! He was a sinch to potty train because he did not like to be messy. Not to stay on a theme here but another funny thing he would say when he turned two was "Happy two!" "Happy poo!" He didn't talk much yet at that time so we were excited about even small things. Things have not changed by the way, he still mostly talks about those things.

Some things we were remembering about Tyler the other day before I never remember tem again is that he would say "the sky is off" when it would get dark. "My bum popped" when he would pass gas. He would also say "day doo" for thank you and "wa-ya" for water. (Kat, you will not forget those I know.)

Oh, I could go on and on about Ethan right now but it's hard to remember all the funny things he is doing right now. The video should show a lot of what he is like. He talks loud and constantly....I feel very rested when he naps....he wears me out.
