Semi-recent photos

I need to get better at the remembering to post photos over here thing, don't I? Sorry about that! Here are a few semi-recent photos of the boys. The first one is a little bit older, from when we were setting up our raised garden beds...

Ryan during craft time:
...and here's a sweet but blurry photo of Ryan with bear. He LOVES this stuffed animal (Trent is rather fond of bear too).

a few recents:

What have we been up to? Well, the boys really love doing art:
...and baking...
...and taco nights...
(even if "taco" means bowl of beans, cheese, and cheerios)
they also really really like bathtime:
(and mommy likes naptimes)

I've really been slacking here!

But we did attempt a family photo...I guess we all need to work on looking in the right direction, huh?

Results of a mid-afternoon bath:

We'd like to call this look the curly fauxhawk:
And a side-view so you can see all the curls. I guess Aveeno shampoo= curly baby hair?

my two reindeer

We've been getting a ton of questions about what the boys want for Christmas. They certainly don't need anything, and I really can't think of anything they want.

If you ask Trent what he wants, you probably won't get an answer of any kind. Unless you ask what he wants from Santa, in which case he'll respond "candy canes". Neither Joel or myself has really explained Santa to Trent (short of he's a nice guy at the mall who gives out candy canes). We talk a lot about Christmas, but more about the Jesus' Birthday part and less about the Santa part.

If it helps at all, Trent does like Mickey Mouse and Handy Manny. He loves books and crafts (but not coloring with crayons at the moment). We've been buying "big boy" books- the kind with real pages- and he does like them. He also really likes backhoes, tractors, dogs, and dancing. He's in 2t but is already outgrowing some of the things we own in that size.

As for Ryan- he's a busy little guy. He has pretty much everything (including a new found ability to crawl and two front teeth- the bottom ones!). He really has no idea what's going on but he does love the Christmas tree and sparkly lights. He's too little to have too many specific likes but he does love making noise. He also puts everything in his mouth (very unlike his big brother at the same age) so we have to be especially careful of choking hazards with him. He's in the 6-12m/9-12m size range at the moment.

(Aren't they cute in their little antlers? They jingle too, which makes everything so much cuter!)
