Day Ten (October 2012)

Crayola, what WERE you thinking?  Colored bubbles?  What a mess!



Day Nine (September 2012)

I just realized tonight that I have two Day # 7s.  Duh!  Think I got it all straightened out now.  Here's a picture of a couple cuties at the water park.  Nate is wearing shorts that are about 3 sizes to big for him, and I don't know why.  But they are sure cute.

Day Eight (August 2012)

PJ Twins

Day Seven (July 2012)

These pictures were taken the day after Baby Zoe was born.  Taylor was visiting with us for the afternoon.  The boys entertained themselves in the newly refurbished jeep.

 Taylor driving @ about 1 mph.

 Everything is calm.

 Now, it's AJ's turn to drive @ 100 mph. (ok, not really but fast!)

 

Funniest picture ever!

 

Wish this was in focus.

Perhaps Taylor finally thinks AJ's driving is not so bad after all.  Either that or he is trying to escape.

Day Six (June 2012)

Taro built these garden boxes this summer.  We got a late start with our garden, but it produced quite a few veggies.  Next year, we will plant one whole box of tomatoes though.  We didn't get enough of those because one of the plants didn't even produce one tomato.  Not a one.  But it grew over six feet tall!  We had about a million hot peppers, which some according to Taro, were too hot to eat.  Now coming from him, that must have been hot.  AJ and Nate loved to help water.  AJ would look at the plants everyday and tell us when he saw new blossoms or veggies coming in. He was proud!

Thanksgiving in Utah (Part One)

Playing trains with cousin Cy

He is so cute!  AJ loved playing with him and so did Nate!

There was just enough snow to have a snowball fight with Aunt Sandy!

Get Dad AJ!

Nate couldn't figure out why everyone was running around and screaming like crazy!

Taro says "Thanks Aunt Tom!" for the loudest kid toy ever made.

We went to this park several times while we were in Moab.  There is a wonderful area with lots of musical instruments for the kids to play.  Both the boys loved it.

We saw a deer this day.  Can you spot it???

The boys were at home playing outside with the millions of rocks.  We brought home a huge bucket full of rocks to add to AJ's collection which he started here last year.

Nate apparently thinks his leg is a great place to hold all the rocks and dirt.

Lunch date

The kids entertained themselves on the rocks outside.

Our favorite college buddy, Chris!  So good to see him and chat!
