Haircuts for the boys

So today, Braden and Ethan got haircuts. It was Ethan's first haircut, and Braden was very supportive! After haircuts, we all went to Walmart to find the really cool cars/track that the haircut place had. We found them! They are really cool (and on clearance!) Ethan was falling out of the cart, and Braden helped him sit up like a big boy! After Walmart, we took lunch to Josh at the hospital. Braden was such a big boy today, and his behavior has dramatically changed over the past 48 hours! Thank God! For those of you who didn't know, he has had an emotional time adjusting to some changes in our lives lately. He was really acting out at daycare, but that is improving too. Today was such a good day! He is napping now, and going for a sleep over with Ethan. Ethan will be spending all day with us tomorrow while his mom goes house shopping in Lawrence, Kansas. I'm sure by the end of the weekend I WON'T be wishing I had 2 boys!

An afternoon with the ducks

So it was so nice today after work, so Braden, Josh, and I spent a little time at the river with the ducks. This one got pretty close to Braden! He thought he had food!

double take

So I just realized after I posted that picture that I had one from our July trip to Destin .... same boys, different bike trailers! Ethan's changed a bit .... Braden is his same ol' ornery self!

Sunday night blogging ....

So here's a few pictures from our weekend. Debbie and Ethan are in town for 2 months, so we try to get the boys together some ..... here they are on our 4 mile walk around the lake tonight. My legs hurt! Ha! And when we got out of the bathtub, I turned around and saw Braden had picked up the toilet seat, and was peeing like a big boy all by himself! Yay! There's also a couple of pictures from Will's birthday party yesterday at Bounce U, a fun jumpy place! I got a workout that I was not prepared for at all! Oh, and Josh got to meet the parents last night .... no pictures of that! Not to worry, if he can put up with us, no one could scare him away! Hope everyone has a good week!

Infected!

Does this face say it all? Braden had an "owee" on his arm that turned out to be a nasty infection! Dr Josh tried to make it feel better with Braden's Jr doctor bag ..... it didn't work. We had it drained and cultured today at the Dr's office and started some antibiotics. We will find out in a couple of days what it was, but he's already feeling much better!
Honestly, it didn't really hurt him that much ..... this picture was his foul mood on Sunday!

We're so glad medical school has finally paid off, Josh!

Valentines' Day 2009

Since this is the first time in a while I didn't boycott Valentines' Day, I thought I'd share .....

Yep, that's my Valentine

He cooked me an amazing dinner ... lamb (cooked 2 different ways), potatoe/leak soup that was SOOOO good, and this beautiful salad with pears, cheese, walnuts ...... BACK OFF, ladies .... he's all mine!

I wish this picture was scratch and sniff ..... you wouldn't believe how great the smell was in that kitchen!

Killer tongs .....

Poor guy was so tired he could hardly keep his eyes open! He did all this after being at work for 12 hours, and turned around and did it again today!

2nd Annual 80s Prom

Ok so it took longer to do my hair than we actually stayed (Josh had to work at 6 this morning!), but I had a blast dressing up! I can hardly breath today because I think I have hairspray poisoning! No wonder our ozone is in trouble .... blame the 80s hair!
