Incredible little boys

Breaking NEWS

• Austin is a genius! Sunday, Brandon and I were watching the Nascar race on t.v. and Austin was in and out of the room. He walked by and saw the ticker at the top of the t.v. that said that the race was on lap 13 of 100. So, like nothing, Austin says, "They have 87 laps to go." Brandon and I looked at each other with expressions on our face that said, "Did he just say that??" I asked him how he knew that. His reply, "Well 10 would be 90 take away 3 more and that's 87." He really is a brainiac! We are amazed every time he opens his mouth. He just gets it all!
• Nathan is a terror! Nathan has a little mean streak in him. I have no idea where it comes from but he just likes to be mean. I have tried timeouts, loss of toys, loss of playtime, rewards, EVERYTHING! He just continues to beat on us and his brother. The latest episodes today involved a shoe hit to Austin's head and ping-pong paddle smack to Austin's face. What can I do? He will be absolutely sweet and playing nicely with everyone and then WHAM! I hope this phase passes soon...
• Comedians among us- Austin and Nathan are into telling jokes lately. Nathan's are amusing and cute. He gets the point, but is just plain silly. For example, Question: "What did the wall say to the wall?" Answer: "Green beans!" Ha ha huh? Austin gets it and about every fourth joke he tells is actually funny. Question: "What did the x say to the z?" Answer: "Where's the y?" Pretty cute! This has become our lunch time activity and everyone gets a chance to tell a riddle and then everyone gets a chance to answer.

(Photos coming soon... I've been a little lazy the last few weeks and only taken a few pics. I tried to upload them the other day and somehow deleted them from the camera without transferring them.)

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us! Saturday, my mom watched the boys and Brandon and I went to a preview show of the new Danny Gans show at the Encore and had a nice dinner at the Wynn. It was a simple celebration but it's always nice to spend a little time alone together. As you know we are expecting our 3rd baby this August and more than ever we have pulled together as a team. A little history- for those of you that don't know the story of Brandon and I. Brandon and I started dating when I was a senior and he was a junior in high school. We were introduced by our best friends who were dating at the time, Brett Grey and Michelle Bodley. Our first date was a double date with Brett and Michelle to a pool hall. At the end of the first date, we sealed the deal with a kiss. It seems as though we became inseparable from that moment on. We were engaged in December of 2000 and married on February 2, 2002. Since then we have hit our bumps and have conquered mountains together and things continue to grow stronger and get better with every passing married day! I love you baby and hope to have another 77+ years with you.

Happy Anniversary

Superbowl Party

The boys had a good time playing with the 3-D commercial viewing glasses.

That's what you get Steeler fan- Shane injured himself celebrating the Steelers first 3 points... ha ha ha!

Cardinal and Steeler fans were all dressed to support their teams!

What a great time we had watching the Cardinals take on the Steelers in the Superbowl! Of course we had to have a Superbowl viewing party- with the majority of our friends being Cardinal fans. However, our friends Shane and Chrissy are Pittsburgh die hards and teased and taunted Brandon about the Cards all week- notes on the truck in the mornings, faxes at his office, e-mails... It was really fun. And how great it was for us to cheer so loud when the Cardinals took the lead for a brief moment. Especially since every time the Steelers scored, Chrissy would blast her little stereo with some Pittsburgh song or polka. We had a great time! And as the game ended, Austin said, "They lost... That's ok, they can try again next year". That's right baby- there is always next year!
