Now that I'm closer to caught up.....

You get more pictures!!

More cute boys!

More dorky family members wearing the same shirts on the 4th of July.

(Mommy's shirt looks pretty good though....)

First full family picture attempt.

A little better. (You can tell Tobi and I are both talking to the kids through our smiles....)

Popsicles (no HFCS, of course.) Can't believe I had to look up how to spell popsicles...


This one is Hudson 7mo. old.

This next one, believe it or not, is Cooper, at 7mo. old. They don't look totally alike that often, but when they do, it's crazy. (And no, it's not just the hat.)


Back to current day, popsicles.

Dad, Cooper, Popsicle.

HA! Mommy totally got you on that one Cooper.

Too cute.

Someone else wanting in on the camera action.

Still in the way.

Now helping/taking direction.

Full circle back to cute.

Being cute is tiring.

How happy does he look. (Sidebar: Nude babies make me look even hairier.)

From the official set of 7mo. pictures. (Future engineer?)

All the boys.

Action photo of Pooh-globe-thingee.

Love the look on Coop's face.

Someone stole our fence!!!

I think I forgot to tell Mommy that Hudson had been sitting up lately.

And working with power tools.

Worst Blogger Ever, June.

June was a really busy month and there are a lot of pictures. I'm going to be as selective as I can, otherwise you'll be here for ten whole minutes fast scrolling down the page... you're welcome.

All about Pop Pop!
Thermos talk.

Boo!

Sweet boys.

Playin' doctor. (No not like that.)

Reading...

Great picture of the gang.

Mommy and Coop climbing the stairs. I think this was part of moving Cooper up into his big boy room and bed.

Cooper has been watching Holmes on Homes. He now knows how to tile.

Happy Hudson on or around his six month mark.

Sweet boys.

First "solid" food. This is a funny picture, but it really went quite well. Hudson was just a little thrown off, but he eats his solids like a champ (most days).

Cooper pwning Devlin and David during a fathers day festivus.

Best card ever? Yes. (Except that it wasn't actually a beer.)

Big boy underpants. Whee!

Worst Blogger Ever, May.

Sometimes you have to work to embarrass your kids. Sometimes they do all the work for you.


Being sweet.

Private Grumpy.

Time for a serious haircut (i.e. Daddy style) - none of this happening on my watch. Needless to say, I waited until Tobi went on a week long work trip to Vegas until I decided to strike. Also needless to say that Tobi was more than a little displeased and did not find the phone cam pictures I sent to her humorous in the least. What can I say, I'm a sucker for avoiding angry tears.
The aftermath.

Still wet, but muuuuuch shorter.

From the side, dry.

From the front, dry. (Pointing to where the chopping occurred.) After all was said and done, it was an extremely good effort considering A. the amount I cut, and B. that it was the first time I had ever cut another human's hair.
Beyond that, the unprompted "Thank you Daddy for cutting my hair." was worth the discussions I had with Tobi when she got home from her work trip. :)

More sweetness.

Asleep while on a walk. (Maybe he sleeps more in the afternoons that we know....)

This was a game of hockey, with a spatula and a tennis ball. What can I say, my kid has skillz.

Sweet H-town. His official 5 mo. pic.

Fun in the kitchen.

More cousin love.


The elusive Uncle Cole. Being sweet with Hudson.

Mommy and Hudson.
