Random Jaunary Pictures

These are just a bunch of random pictures. 

Marlin is still old school, he hasn’t upgraded to a cell phone.  But, hey, he can use it while he sleeps.  

Gus received some late Christmas gifts from Uncle Sammy.  They were well worth the wait!  He loves them.  

The Viking hat that Marlin is wearing was given to us from the Barker’s.  It is one of the funniest things I have seen.  Who thinks of this stuff?

Marlin has taken to his little blue blanket just like Gus did with Gray blankie.  We were smart this time and bought a back up one, just in case.

We have a picture of Gus in big sauce pan when he was Marlin’s age, so we decided to throw him in this pan.

Gus being silly Gus!  He has gotten the hang of how to use the mask and snorkel (out of the water anyway).

I know Marlin looks huge in this picture but it is just the angle.  However, he is getting bigger everyday.  You can see his scare in this picture too.  Makes him look tough if he didn’t have that goofy grin on his face!

Gram Time

We have been fortunate to have lots of Gram time this month.  These are just few pictures form her visits.  The ones of her and Gus on the bed are from Friday night video night.  They were watching the Frozen Planet.  Awesome series, Gus highly recommends it.

Flop Time with Daddy

I often wonder what the boys do all day when I am at work.  I realize that they spend most of the day flopping out!  Here are some pictures as proof.

Naked TIme

This photo shoot was not planned.  I was getting the boys ready for bath time and a naked Gus jumped up on the bed and started snuggling with his little brother.  I couldn’t help but grab the camera.  Gus has waited a long time to be able to grab his brother like that and it was so sweet to see.  

The Ping Dinger

Thor didn’t have a lot of Christmas traditions when we meant, so we ended up doing a lot of the things I always did with my family.  Since then, we have created our own traditions as a family.  However, one of the greatest joys that Thor brought to our Christmas celebration is the ping dinger.  I am sure it has a real name but this is what he and Christian always called it.  As you can see my boys love it and are transfixed when we light it for most meals during the Christmas season.  It is truly one of the simple pleasures that remind us what the holiday is all about.

OK, so I fixed all the videos so you can all see them.  The first two are form when we were in the hospital, but the last one is him laughing.  Please let me know if you still can't open it.

Marlin Laughing

I may be bias, but there really is nothing better than the sound of children laughing, especially my children.  I guess we weren't sure we were every going to hear this sweet sound.  Just click on the link and it will take you to Youtube.  Here it is, enjoy.
