The boys got "boy razors" for Christmas and they think they are sooooo big now!! They saw these little kits in Target with a toy razor, shaving cream (really body wash) and shampoo. They just loved them and now shave in the bathtub or with Daddy.

One of Brock's favorite things to do is puzzles. He absolutely loves them...and he's really good at them. He can do a 100-piece puzzle for 7-year olds and he's only 4!! Check out this video of Brock talking about one of his best friends. Apparently, he has taught Brock all the good and fun things in his life. Brock ALWAYS talks about him, talks to him on his (toy) cell phone and he goes everywhere with Brock. (One of his other "best friends" is Tony Kanaan, an Indy race car driver!)

Here is Ryan talking about the Transformers. He has never watched the show, but knows all of their names because of Brock. It's pretty cute to hear him talk about Optimus Prime and Megatron!

Sometimes the smallest things create the biggest laughs. Ryan started the silliness and Brock was soon to follow!Our Christmas photo of the boys.
We put a little tree up in Brock's bedroom for the boys this year. They really enjoyed it...Ryan couldn't keep his hands off it!!! They were very proud of it and took great delight in turning the lights on and off at least 5 times a day!

Santa brought Brock a "big boy bike" this year! He was so excited when he woke up and saw all the gifts! He was very patient waiting until Ryan woke up, too. He's really enjoyed his bike!

Ryan loves Elmo and when Gramma & Papa gave him this little Elmo, it instantly became his best friend and sleeping buddy.

More goofiness!

The day after Christmas, they got about 2" of snow at Gramma & Papa's house. The kids went outside and had a great time playing in it. They had a snowball fight and helped (sort of) build a grassy/hairy snowman. They had a great time!! We were so thankful that it snowed...Brock had been talking about having a snowball fight and building a snowman at Gramma & Papa's house for about 2 weeks before we went for Christmas!

Here's a video of the fun!

Here's Ryan's rendition of "Frosty the Snowman."

How anyone can be this happy when it's snowing is beyond me! :-)

"Oh....how sweet!!! They're playing together so nicely," is what I thought. So, I ran and got my camera as quickly as possible and snapped this shot. Five seconds later they were fighting over the toys!!!! Guess I got proof that's it's possible! Gotta love the hoodies!!

Quick shot of Ryan in our backyard.
At Thanksgiving, Brock decided to try on Aunt Michelle's boots. We thought the combination of the pj's that are too small, the Pull-Up sticking out and the girl's shoes was a Kodak moment!

A "Toddler" baseball game at Thanksgiving. The cold weather didn't stop us from getting outside and playing some ball with each other and our cousins!
