Potty and a snake

We are trying to potty train Drew again. Now it is summer he can run around the house in just underwear and Amy doesn't have to worry about his freezing. I had to take this pic it reminded me of his big brother.









Zack back when he was first getting potty trained looking at the cat book.

















Matt's decomposing snake in the back yard. It was one of Kate's pet snakes at school till it died and Matt brought it home as a joke. HaHaHa











3 Birthdays and Easter

Drew turned 2. He has grown up so fast. He tries to do all that Zack does.












Zack helping Drew open his presents.













Drew's birthday cake on his birthday. Watch out for the ants.












We went to the park with the Arredondos and Drew loved riding the dinosaur and chasing the bigger boys around.











Rose missed the boys birthday party so she took them to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate. Drew with one of the crazy straws and icing on his face.











Zack and his best friend Ethan.













Amy texting people the pic of Zack under the table.












Zack hiding from Chuck E Cheese under the table. He loves to go and play at Chuck E Cheese. As soon as Chuck E comes out he will hide and cry.










The Arredondos came to celebrate with us.













Zack and Drew eating their pizza.


















The boys playing with the swords and shields that Kate gave them.












We celebrated both the boys birthdays with friends together. Here are the egg cupcakes. Only a few people would eat them because they weirded them out.










Or you could have had Blueberry or cherry pie. Apparently we did not take any pics of the party its self.











Coloring Easter eggs.


















We put the eggs in whisks so they would be easier for the boys to do on their own.

So tired from camping and kayaking Zack needed a quick nap before all the birthday fun.












Zack's birthday fell on Easter weekend and Matt had good Friday off so we went camping. Zack playing in the lake. We kayaked from our camp site to the swimming area.










Drew playing with a stick he found in the water.


















Zack finding some garbage in the lake.


















Drew was content to just sit on Amy's lap and watch Zack and Matt play in the water.












How far can Zack go out before the water is over his head?












The boys ready to go kayaking.


















Enjoying playing in the lake on Friday.









































Zack decided for our walk he was going to wear Amy's hat and Drew was going to wear both Zack and Drew's hats.











Matt's birthday cake.













Matt's presents with home made cards from his boys.
