Ezra's new fun sleeping trick is that he likes to sleep with his leg straight in the air. The problem with this is that when he falls asleep and it relaxes he gets stuck! Then he cries and wants it fixed. I've tried a few different things to help him avoid this, but he's too curious and breaks through anything I try.

Winner~
A few weeks ago Ethan's soccer coach from last year came knocking at our door to presnt Ethan with his medal for playing soccer. I would never have guessed that he would be so excited about it! He was very insistant that i take his picture with all his medals. He surprised me again by remembering his gymnastics medal and knowing right where it was. That never happens!

Dad's Can Be So Silly
Ezra has become quite an eater in the last few months. That boy can out-eat Ethan!! It's amazing to watch him. He has really loved the Gerber Fruit puffs too. Spen loves to tease the boys and sadly Ez hasn't escaped that any longer!
He started to feel them with his hand after a while and eat them off of his face, but for the most part he sat there and happily ate his lunch with stars all over his face!
Ethan thought he looked like he was wearing a star fish on his face! I'm sure that Ez will have to endure much worse over the years from Spen, but this one was pretty funny!

4th of July
Every 4th of July we go watch the hot air balloon launch. If you know me very well at all, you know that I am a traditionalist. I love tradititions. I love knowing what to look forward to for the special day that is coming up. I love having that to plan on. I also love adding new traditions to the mix.
I have loved our 4th of July tradition that has been going on for the past few years. When we were married on July 1st we had plans of celebrating our anniversary in all sorts of new places to see the fireworks. That lasted our 1st anniversary!! It's great and better now though. We have family that comes to see us every year and we have all sorts of fun things we do and fun memories every year.
This was the first year that Ethan has been just fascinated by it all. He's loved it in the past, but now he has memories from past years and he had to go find all of his favorite balloons. He was excited to show them to his brothers this year!
We love having company come for the holidays!
We always make my parents join us whether they plan on it or not! They have fun once they are there too! My kids just love their grandparents!
What a handsome little boy!~ You have no idea how hard it is to get a good picture of Ethan with him looking at the camera! It NEVER happens!
Ez just looks tired, but he couldn't take it all in fast enough. He was so interested and curious about everything.
Giving Ezra a little lick!
Ezra and Mason cuddling a bit..

Everyone... Spencer's aunts, Lizett and Cindy, come every year from Texas. This year we got to have Spen's sister, Katelan, visit from collage. Spen's Grandpa from AZ came too, but he wasn't too excited about leaving the house before 6 am!

Mase went back and forth with being excited and happy to being pretty upset that we woke him up so early! He's usually happy when he has his 'E' close by..
Ez just had a great time from the time I woke him up.
Ethan was determined to have his picture taken with the 'tiger balloon.' He got a little trading card with it's picture on it and promptly came home and emptied one of my frames to frame it. It's now on display in our family room. :)

These brothers sure do love each other!
Lizett and Cindy bought fireworks for the firework show this year. They were so much fun. Mase missed them, but Ezra loved them (after the first few) and Ethan enjoyed them. He was a little nervous. He likes them when they are done. He was proud of the ones he chose to light.

Ezra Turns 9 Months!!
Ezra is growing up sooo fast I can hardly believe my eyes. He is so adorable I can't stand it sometimes.
This little boy is going to get away with so much, I can already tell. He's too dang cute to say no to!!
He is a very serious little boy. He's not really one to just pass out smiles and giggles. That may be why it's so much fun when he actually does smile and giggle for you!!
I love the month to month pictures with the same item.. It's so fun to see him so much bigger than his 'Rocco' bear!
He really likes to chew on his Rocco bear!
The stage he is at now is so much fun. I just love to blow everything off and play with this sweet boy!
And he's done. After this he wasn't interested in all 3 of us making fools of ourselves to get him to sit still and smile for the camera!!
