Legos!!!

Legos are a hit in our house.  We have both Duplo's and regular Legos.  The boys love to build with them and play with them.  As usual their imagination amazes us!!  I really enjoy watching the boys build, you can see their little brains working and when they are using their imagination they come up with the awesome-est little sayings and plots!!!!

Believe me you will see a lot more pics of Lego creations!!!

Bouncing

All of our boys have spent a good amount of time in the doorway jumper.  They have all enjoyed it, thought I think Simon was the least zealous.  Emmett was the most exuberant by far!!!  Here is a fun video of Simon in the jumper around 6 months old, I love his little smiles!!!

33

I had a very nice birthday party the day before my birthday.  It was low key and pretty much consisted of what you see below.  On my actual birthday I got to sit in court and then work a night shift :-)

A Happy Birthday with my boys and beautiful bride (behind the camera).

As usual Andrea made an awesome cake!

Active.....

Active is just one word you could use to describe our house; a few others are loud, rambunctious, crazy... or FUN!!!  Here is a small example of our active boys and their imagination/creativity. 

In this video Eli gives a good description of their game.

This video just screams boy....

Solid Food

A few days after Valentines Day Simon was introduced to solid food.  Just like the other two we started with grain, I think he liked it.  Bibs are another story...... we are going to have a lot of soiled outfits....

I'm ready!!!

No.... No, I'm not.......

Here we go....

Hey, not too bad.  What is this thing???

Paige Turns 2

In early February the Frows were settled in pretty good and had Paige's 2nd birthday party!!  It was a bunch of fun.  We played outside in the yard for a long time and had a blast.  Paige was super cute in her pig tails and the grub was scrumptious.

Sliders and sides....

Mama and Si guy in party mode.

The Birthday Girl!

Licking her lips in anticipation.

The men entertained the kids outside because the women folk thought it was too cold..... there were only a few injuries :-)

Boys Around The House

These are some fun pictures from around the house at the end of January and beginning of February.  These boys love to play together and be silly.  They also love to read!!!  I don't think the pictures need any captions....

Piggy Bank

Grandma Mutti has a tradition of getting her grandkids piggy banks and Simon got his on the first of February.  The other boys love putting coins in their banks and I am sure Si-Si will be no different.

Mutti, Si and his new bank.

I really have no idea what is going on....

Snow.... kind of...

In mid January we got a North Carolina snow... which means there was a little bit of snow on the ground, the grass still showed and the world almost came to an end.  The boys and Andrea got outside to explore and play a little.

Eli exploring.

Emmett sporting a UK snowsuit.  My parents got us two snowsuits from a yard sale a while ago.  This was the only one that fit and Eli was very disappointed he did not get to wear one!

Mama and Si-Si in the snow
and using his halloween costume for warmth :-)

Emmett contemplating the snow/ice covered
slide.... if you zoom in his face is priceless!!!

They look really enthused about the amount of snow we got...

Randomness

These are some random pictures from early January.

A sunny day on the playground.

A delicious apple pie Andrea made and

Si-Si looking cute.

Christmas with the Fam

A few days after Christmas we celebrated with the rest of Andrea's family.  This year was especially hectic because Simon and Andrea had spent the previous 2 days in the hospital!!!  Simon was having some trouble breathing during the night and he went to the ER.  He got admitted because he needed oxygen for low oxygen levels.  He ended up having bronchiolitis and they were discharged in time to go straight from the hospital to family Christmas!!  What a blessing that he was okay and they got out in time!!! 

Eli and a new soccer goal.

Simon and Mama with a new book.

Claire chomping on an Amish candy necklace we got her.

Emmett chillin' while he opens presents.

The boys playing with a new set of police toys; a big hit!

They look really good for coming from the hospital!!!

... and the crazy one being crazy!!!

Finally a video of the boys playing with the police toys.  It is a fun video if you watch how busy they all are but at the same time they are playing together (at least Wyatt and Eli).  The video ends with a snippet of Emmett playing by himself!

Christmas Hangover

I don't remember the context of this picture but I know it was taken the day after Christmas.  When I look at it I first see how cute Emmett is and then it just totally looks like a Christmas Hangover..... oh those crazy boys!!!

Christmas 2013

We spent Christmas day at the house and it was very fun.  Grandma and Grandpa came over and we did presents and breakfast and just hung out for a lazy day.  A good time was had by all!  

On Christmas Eve we left carmel and carrots out for Santa and come morning they were gone!  The boys loved leaving out the goodies.  Eli had a cold but he didn't let it bring him down.

Hung by the chimney (or fake chimney gas logs) with care!

The boys got activity books in their stockings and dove right in!

Simon got baby food and Grandma
and his brothers helped him get them out!!

Mama helping the boys with their presents!

Grandma and Simon with his new lovie!!!

Eli got a fun new puzzle!
