The Boys... earlier in the year

These pictures were taken in January and February.  I just wanted to document a day in the life of these two cuties, and some of their interests.

Jonah was obsessed with a game we bought at Christmas called "Hisss".  He would ask for it every day.  He would be lucky if Jacks or I sat down to actually play the game with him, otherwise he would just play by himself lining up all the cards.  

Just a cute picture of him smiling naturally.  I don't get a lot of these pictures because usually he squints his eyes and opens his mouth big when I point the camera in his direction.

We spent a lot of days in January and February doing this:  (and yes, that IS Barney.  It is one of the only shows that both boys will sit down and watch together.  Not sure why, but oh well.) ;)  

And this...  (notice that it is a sports game)

Jackson of course got in many rounds of basketball playing.  We bolted the hoop up quite high and that boy will shoot and shoot.  He makes baskets quite often and really has great technique.  I think it is so cute cause he will watch replays of games on the computer and really observe how the players play.  One day he told me that I needed to call 4 of his friends mom's and ask if they could come play because he needed 5 players to make a team.

Also, take notice of the above outfit.  He would wear that EVERY day if I would let him.   In fact there was probably 3 days in a row he wore it and even sneaked it on before he went to bed one night.  I try to dress him like the below picture, but he tells me, "Mooom, basketball players don't wear jeans!!"
 (I make him let me pick out his clothes only on school days.  The rest of the days he is in some sort of "sport"  outfit!)

I sure love my B-O-Y-S!!!
