just hanging out

tuesday, may 25, 2010 was just a LAZY day. we LOVE having papa home! today levi said "it's a good thing papa has time off because he loves to weld". i said, "you're right!" we are hoping that others will enjoy joshua's WELDING projects as well. the idea is to start selling them!!! here are some pics of the day.

abe stuffing his shirt. he used to do this all the time with his drink. or he'd stuff a toy under his shirt and walk around saying he has a beebee. his pocket has a wood tree in it. he was just walking around saying, "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ABEY".

levi doing crunches. just like papa!

levi took joshua's recorder hoop and put it around the cow to walk it.

ear protection. papa's putting up the crosses.

levi's chalk tracing

levi wanted abe's tracing to hold hands with his.

the boys watching papa work.

we replaced the 15 spike crosses with the larger 25 SPIKE CROSSES.

out for a drive in the...

...the gator train combo.

cutie pies.

levi got this whole contraption down the porch. i asked him how. he did it in pieces. backed the train up 1st. then backed the gator up to it and hooked them back together.

i'm not sure why levi wanted the gator train on the porch, but i'm SO IMPRESSED with how he did it!

mr. handsome.

FORT with a window

the fort had to keep being reconstructed. not much room to move around in there, but it was good for a few pics.

levi and his new talent...WHISTLING!

mega blocks, hair cuts, jackets, hats, and whistles

sunday, may 23, 2010. so abe started running a FEVER friday night. saturday morning i took him to the doctors and got him another round or antibiotics for what we thought was a lingering sinus infection. he had ended his last round on monday the 17th for what really was a sinus infection. however, he kept coughing in the mornings and so bad on wednesday that my mom could hear him in the next hotel room when we were in cali. now i'm not so sure the fever is from the sinus infection because he woke up today, shortly before 6 am (ouch), running a fever and then PUKING (sorry, graphic i know) 3 times. we went back to sleep and when he woke up, he was back to his normal self. he kept down his ibuprofen which lowered his temperature. we skipped church. instead levi requested my help in making a "CARPORT" out of mega blocks for his tractor and trailer.

joshua had been begging me for a couple of weeks to cut his hair. today was the day we finally had an opportunity to do so. it was super windy, but gorgeous out. levi wanted me to cut his hair too because a HAIRCUT=LOLLY POP. so, even though he and abe didn't really need one, i gave them a little trim up and a lolly. here are they're BEFORE AND AFTERS. the boys you can barely tell:)

         

   

       

we were so excited about the COLD weather tonight. this may be the last time they wear JACKETS for a while. tonight joshua took the boys over to the torrington's to watch the SUNS game. i stayed home and worked on my new little HOBBYof blogging.

the boys wanted to put HATS on. abe's head is so HUGE his doesn't fit anymore. 

when i asked to take a picture of them both smiling this is what abe did. joshua and i were dying!

this one is the BEST. abe gets SO loopy before bed. i LOVE levi's i heart music shirt.

***Levi learned how to WHISTLE today. he'd been trying to learn because espen was whistling on our trip to CA. he is so excited!***
