Sick of The Roach?

Are you sick of seeing the pictures of the roach yet? Well, here are some pictures of cute boys:


Gove is very cute. He is funny and is very big. He can now ride a bike without training wheels! He was so excited when Nolan took the training wheels off his bike. He just took off and started riding like he had been riding a two-wheeler forever. In fact, he says that I taught him how to ride a "bike with two wheels" when he was a tiny baby. Gove has gotten very good at coloring and loves to write his name. He is a good little helper who cannot wait for his new baby brother to come. He asked me the other day if boys could hold little babies. I told him they could as long as their mama lets them and they are sitting nicely. He was a bit concerned about the baby being heavy, but I assured him the baby would be very small when he is born. He got new Crocs at the Bass Pro Shop - he was even able to get the ones he picked out. He has slept in them every night since. Gove loves preschool, primary, cousins and all things Star Wars and Ninja Turtles.

This boy is also very cute. Max can eat like no one I've ever seen. I am sure that the way he eats is not good for him at all. If he is eating something he really likes, he basically will shove as much of it in his mouth as he possibly can, chew it very little and swallow it nearly whole. It is painful to watch and reminds me of the way a snake eats. He has a nose for candy like a bloodhound. If there is candy somewhere in the house, he will sniff it out and eat it whole as quickly as he possibly can. The only sweet he doesn't love is ice cream (I know, very strange). He acts like it is a chore to eat because it is cold and messy. For FHE this week we went out to Dairy Queen. Each of the boys got a little chocolate covered cone. Gove gobbled his down (he loves ice cream) and Max ate the chocolate off, ate as much of the cone as he could without spilling the ice cream all over himself, and started yelling that he was done and wanted it out of his hands. We were in the car, so Nolan told him if he didn't want it he could throw it out the window, which Max did very willingly. As soon as Gove saw Max toss his ice cream, he started yelling that he was done too and needed to throw his out the window. He had one bite left and threw it out happily. I think we'll be fighting them to keep things from flying out the windows from now on. Uncle Shane thinks Max will be a basketball player and uncle Ryan thinks he'll be a linebacker. Knowing his wonderfully uncoordinated parents, he'll be neither.

This is baby James. Will he look like brother Gove or brother Max? We'll find out soon! I am told James has some hair on the back of his head and is on track to be a nice big boy. He loves to kick me in the ribs, push on my bladder and hiccough. None of us can wait to hold this baby in our arms.
