skateboarding

TJ, Russell and Trevor spent some time skateboarding Saturday afternoon. TJ likes to do his tricks on the grass or the rocks so the board doesn't move around too much. TJ is taking after dad in more than one sport. We're starting Russell early as well.

Family Home Evening Golf

TJ wanted to play a little golf upstairs after Family Home Evening tonight. Russell wanted to be part of the game so he got in by stealing golf balls. Whenever TJ hit the ball Russell crawled after it and then tried to get away from TJ. Trevor and I thought it was quite cute. Trevor is especially pleased to have two boys interested in golf.

As a side note, look at Trevor's feet. He has one slipper on and one off. The boys have misplaced his slipper. However, look at the date. Should Trevor even be wearing slippers? What is wrong with the weather here?

Bath Time Fun

The boys got a little carried away during bath time Monday evening. By the time I grabbed the camera I was very wet. Trevor had the good idea of using the shower curtain as protection from the splashing. I'm glad TJ and Russell enjoy their bath.

A morning at the Portland Zoo

We went to the zoo Thursday with Sue and her twin boys. We're trying to do something adventurous every week with the three boys. TJ was so excited to get to the zoo he took a spill in the parking lot. He know has a little bit of a strawberry on his forehead and nose. After a few tears he was ready to get down and enjoy the morning with the animals.

a little April stroll in California

We went to California the second week in April for Trent's homecoming. He served a two year mission in Argentina. We really enjoyed the week in Corona. TJ loved all the outdoor time (we haven't been outdoors much this winter in Washington). This is Trevor and TJ strolling Russell to a nearby park in Corona.

Wow three in one night

This is an example of Russell's current mobility. He's not that fast yet, but give him a few weeks and I'll be chasing him all over. There's also a little of TJ wanting to watch Russell on the camera. The noise in the background is the tub filling up. Russell is crawling to his bath.

Crib time

Not a bad posting for my second attempt at blogging. I watched a shot "how to" video and learned how to put video and pictures on my blog. This is a lot easier than I thoght. The following is a video of one of TJ and Russell's favorite past times. TJ and Russell love to spend time together in the crib. Like most younger siblings, Russell loves to do what TJ does. They have fun copying one another. The loud shrill screams come from Russell's excited little voice.
