Merry Christmas!

Looks like they were good this year afterall.

Riding their new friends while talking on superhero "Talkie Walkies"
(the range on those things is about 8 inches)

Looks like Toys R Us threw up in our living room.


Santa was MIA for 3 hours on Christmas Eve when it was time to

assemble the %*#$ing train table

Christmas Eve

On the way to the bathtub, the boys stop and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas...the talking Buzz Lightyear ornament.

(I know my kids will hate me one day for posting this picture, but I'm ok with that. I could not resist)

Christmas Eve on the beach- sunny and 73...

life is good!

Christmas Preparations

Decorating cookies for Santa

Fisher must look his best on the big day!

My Three Sons

Fisher, Shrek, and Jackson

Rub-a-dub-dub....

...three men in a tub

Frying Pan Farm

Our visit to Frying Pan Farm (love the name)

Urination Situation

(I'm so glad I have boys)

Ho Ho Ho!

The boys told Santa what they want for Christmas...

Jackson: "I want ALL the toys"

Fisher: "I wanna get the hell off your lap old man"

The Strikers

Jackson, Gunner, Kira, and Grace Linden

await their medals.....

This season is over, but I have a feeling

there are many more soccer seasons in our future.

It's still FUNderwear!

New underwear must be worn on the head first.

That's simply the rule at our house...no ifs, ands, or "butts".

Happy Halloween!

Spiderman and the Incredible Hulk prepare
for their sugar rush.

Trick or Treat!

Don't make him angry... you wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Too much candy, not enough belly.

This is sweeter than any treat.

A bunch of Halloweenies!

Screw the candy!

Sunday Morning

Timber Creek Fling

On route to our neighborhood Fall Fling.

Jackson wasn't impressed by the band, the food,
the games, or anything else for that matter....
except for Kate.

Bundle Up

Snuggling up with Daddy

Not big fans of cold weather as you can tell
from their expressionless faces.

Blue Steel

Fisher practices his favorite Zoolander pose.

Pumpkin Patch

It was a perfect fall day for picking the perfect pumpkin!

Crafty

Jackson and I made "Tootsie Roll Pop Ghosts"
for his friends at school. It was so much fun!
Martha Stewart eat your heart out!

Training wheels, schmaining wheels.....

After less than 20 minutes on his new bike,

Jackson informed us that he's done with training wheels and only wants 2 wheels now.

At this rate, by tomorrow he'll be ready for his first car.

BIG BOY BIKE!

Jackson's maiden voyage on his new
BIG BOY BIKE!

He's growing up so fast....too fast.

(No I'm not crying Johnny, I just have something in my eye)

Fisher takes a ride on the baby bike.


Alternate transportation.

Superheroes

When they're "in costume" Jackson calls himself Clark Kent and Fisher is Bruce Wayne.

Sidenote: I'm referred to as Sue (the Invisible Woman) and Johnny is Reed (Mr. Fantastic).
And you know what?...I kinda like it.

Contemplating whether or not they'll really be able to fly if they jump off the bed.

Leapin' Lizards

Jackson recaptures the same poor lizard again.

During the last capture, the tip of his tail fell (was pulled) off.

See.

Family Portrait

We're so darn classy sometimes it's scary.

Soccer Mom

OK, it's official...I'm a soccer mom. It's only the

second week and I'm addicted- I can't get enough!

First goal ever!!!

(He scored 3 today)

Fisher had to be physically removed from the field
at least a dozen times.
(We finally bribed him to the sidelines with food. )


Behold the cuteness!
