Andrew is really into dinosaurs. Here is his version of an "EEE REX"

Soccer Girl and Scuba Steve

We are back in the swing of things here at our house and soccer is the choice of sport for Rachel this Spring. She's doing great...a little timid at first but broke out of her shell last game and was right in on the action. Jacob will start Tball here soon but in the meantime he is perfecting his "Steve the Crocodile Hunter" outfits. After telling him I wouldn't buy him a scuba suit and tank, he went to work on his own version.  Even down to the "long daddy socks" that he needed as "flippers". I have to admit, it was pretty inventive and he could even pass for an exterminator if he decided to switch occupations!!

Awesome, pure Jacob. Notice the nebulizer mask.

Had to throw the "I love you" in there

Update from Matty

"Matty"......yep that must be my name because I hear that an awful lot. I have to say, I like it although I really like "Manny" which is what my big brother Andrew likes to call me. Matty is nice but Manny sounds a bit more foreign and exotic! So far I am adjusting to this thing called life pretty well. There is ALWAYS something going on in this house....it's very busy and very noisy but I don't mind, I sleep right through it most of the time. We're outside a lot since the weather is so nice and I love the fresh air. Mom carries me around in that snugli thingy and I just fall right to sleep. The only time I wake is when mommy has to chase Andrew down because he's running around with a screwdriver, scissors, or something equally fatal. Don't know what all that is about but I'm trusting Andrew will teach me the ropes.  I think I figured out the nighttime thing too. I cry, mommy feeds me.....enough said. I told my brothers and sisters they should try it but they said mommy would be mad. I told them she always gets up with me and is never mad....I must be her favorite.

Here I am holding my biggest bro's hand. Doesn't he look handsome? Does this outfit make my  legs look skinny? 

 

This is me in my bouncy seat. Usually it makes me very happy but mom caught me in a bad mood.
