This was hard...

I was familiar with most of these words but got confused on the actual meaning. I need a new dictionary! And thesaurus.

Sam's brother at Graduation

My baby

Zeke is crawling!!!!! Not at super speed yet but he can do it. He gets pretty loud when I walk out of the room but he hasn't figured out that he can come after me yet. The little stinker weighs almost twenty pounds now so it's good he is becoming mobile a little at a time.

His top two teeth are coming in pretty good and soon you will be able to see it pictures. Right now it's hard to catch him sitting still & smiling at the same time. He reminds me of my nephew when he was a baby. So cute!

Last weekend we drove to Virginia to watch a military graduation. Sam's brother is in National Guard, we took the boys so that made it interesting. It was only a four hour drive to it wasn't complete torture. Then we turned around the next day and came back. Caleb came with us and we had Justus' birthday party. He wanted a ball theme so that was pretty easy. The kids jumped on the trampoline for a while and got out a little energy. But as soon as cake was served they all got a second wind.

Those pain neighbors have been on the trampoline again at some point in time. There was red mud on the padding. We don't have red mud in our yard. My brother said he is going to set up the video camera any time that we're all gone at the same time. I doubt it will do any good.

FYI: Something interesting

THE NERVE!!!!!!!!

We bought a trampoline for Justus (and me too I've wanted one for a while) to jump on and get out a little bit of energy. We put up the bottom part of it on Monday before Sam had to go to work. Then yesterday we put up the enclosure. Justus LOVED it & we jumped until the Z woke up from his nap.

About an hour later Chile(dog) was barking her head off upstairs. My mom was yelling at her to be quiet when she happened to look outside and see two of our teenage neighbors zipping the enclosure & high tailing it out of our yard. I cannot tell you how mad that made me!

They thought that no one was home and they could just waltz on over & use my baby's toy for their own. I sure am glad that I wasn't the one who caught them; I doubt I'd had been very Christian about it!!!! We just bought it two days ago!!!!!! They didn't even ask!!!

We found out last night that they've already been arrested for trespassing before. WOW--- I feel great that they live just next door! Well now I'd really like to put up a privacy fence but if they really want to get in they will. And I'm sure that when they think no one is at home they'll try their escapades again.

Sam made a sign saying that we will call the police if they try it again...that made me laugh! But if I'm here alone and they try and I see them I will call. It is so rude, inconsiderate & just plain wrong!

Oh yeah- the neighbors on the other side of them have already put up a fence!

Tons of Pics

Here are lots of pictures in celebration of Justus who turn three this week. Happy Birthday J! Sorry, I DID limit the pics & tried to do them in order but failed.





































Zeke at 7 months




J at seven months - not much like Zeke

There are definetly flashes of the boys being alike but at first glance there's not much to go on.
