The boys figured out a few things this last week before they got us all sick

How to pester the dog

How to climb on the kitchen chairs

How to master climbing up and down the stairs

Twins in a box, cool.

My oldest boy looked like a cop flipping out of his crib.

No gate on the stairs yet??

We have a gate but he was intrigued so I figured why fight it when he wants to learn.   Up head first down feet first.  It works pretty good.  His big brother is scared of them still and will walk four feet around the stairs so he doesn't get close.

Ha....you're in trouble now....our first was a girl....so easy...put her in the corner with a book....an hour later she was in the same spot. My son came along and I needed backup! He broke every drawer in our kitchen by slamming them so hard the faces broke off. He climbed everything....and I mean everything. My wife walked into the kitchen once and he was 6 feet up in the air on the bakers rack. He loved jumping off the deck (up one story) when he was six. Boys is different!!  :o haha

Little story I posted before but hard to find.

My youngest was upstairs with me in the garage. Steep pull down stairs with no gate (always with me up there then). We are heading down and he gets about a step ahead of me and trips going through the opening (cement floor 9ft down). I am in "O S&&T" mode reaching for him but he is just that far away and I miss. Next thing I see is him hanging by his wrist (long sleeve jacket) that got caught by the spring for the door. Needless to say I thanked the man above many times that day and still do.

Every year the boys grandma makes all the grand kids pj's.  This year we were joined with a ant who brought her boys to celebrate with us. It was a good Christmas Eve for all the kids

We've got a "Children's museum" out this way too. Sophie loves it. Looks like your boy does too. Love it when they're concentrating on something and the tongue comes out, lol.

Father like son Tate.   My boss caught me working on a  Predator this week, thought I was winking at him with my tongue out. I laughed and said it's left hand work need to compensate for the difficulty.

Took the older boy to clear off grandmas solar panels, three feet of snow will take awhile to slide off. So I figured we could help.
Ended up jumping off the roof with the boy
Took the time to make a snow cave/tunnel large enough I could go through

And of course the dog

Things are really changing around here fast these days
Grunts and crys are turning into words like No! Dad! Duke, Puppie, Milk, I get high fives and down low too slows from them. Food isn't mush anymore, we are onto all of the exciting things like salsa pickles and anything else we cook the ingest. Personalities are changing.    I know which one is my over dramatic flop to the floor kid and which one is the current bully of the house.

Scheduled surgery for the smallest of the boys.  Getting his tonsils removed and adenoids all in one shot. This Friday, hopefully his eating will become easier and less combersome

Currently he takes a half breath of air before he puts food in his mouth that he swallows the food than gasps for air.   Between the eating and the constant sinus issues the Dr said to remove them.  They are constant swollen and aggravated.

I'll post an update.  Hopefully if the dr is correct he should see a rather large growth spert and catch his larger brother all because of the body fighting constant infection and the better ingestion of food.   Time will tell all

Well, here's what's in store for you down the road

Me and my boys were in Lowes, looking for Mole killer. I was on the phone to a pilot buddy

I become aware of a scuffle behind me, then the youngest drops.

I turn around to discover the oldest has decked him! Opened up his nose! The little guy is bleeding all over the floor and merchandise, the scene is quickly starting to look like an axe murder took place there. He is shaking his head and spraying out of his nostrils to clear the blood out...

All this while I was talking on the phone! Little guy's eye is swollen and for a while I thought his nose was broken. Older one connected a good one there.

Yea, you're in for some challenges in the future!

Oh, if you could hear them right now. I just took them to an RC Fun Fly and they are tired and going at it. Wife isn't happy with it all.

So what happened with the boys Don? Mine have come to blows a little, but not that good.

I see green grass...

It's snowing here today...was skidooing last night.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

The Dog has become a major part of my boys life, this past week we learned that what we thought was just a skin tag is actually cancer.  We have an appointment next Wednesday to remove it and see if that take care of it. The Dr didn't seem to positive that it would work but first step right?


The boys run to the dog before they stop to say hi to anyone else. Not sure how this is going to work out
