Noah Sept 09

Where Lucas is always busy, Noah would happily lay on the couch watching Diego & Imagination Movers all day if we let him.

Here he is in his favorite place, on the couch, with his blankie, sucking his thumb.




He has taken more a liking to art lately and had a blast with some sidewalk paint outside.



He definitely has his Dad's sweet tooth, here he is eating french toast with powdered sugar.

Lucas Sept 09

I thought I'd do separate posts for each of the boys.

Lucas has found a few new hobbies lately.

He likes climbing the olive tree in our backyard (he obviously didn't inherit his Mom's fear of heights).







He is also a bit obsessed lately with 2 shoelaces which he likes to balance on top of things so he can crawl under and now is also tying things together.

TV Watching

The boys favorite spot to watch TV is on the edge of the coach. I commented to German the other day that I wasn't sure what they would do once they were to big for them to still sit side by side. Apparently it will be awhile before that happens. Last week our next door neighbors came over to play and the boys had no trouble finding room to squeeze Abby onto their favorite spot.

Daddy's Birthday

On Monday, 4/6 we celebrated German's birthday with chocolate cake.


Noah (yes, his eyes are puffy, he has had really bad allergies)


Lucas

And then there were four...

Last Saturday we babysit our friend's, Dave & Katrina, 2 kids (Brandon 2 1/2 & Amanda 11 months) so they could go out to dinner and a movie for to celebrate their anniversary.

Here are all the boys playing baseball, they actually did a good job taking turns.



Us girls decided to hang out in the shade and watch.



Here are boys "supervise" as Brandon watered what seemed like every plant in our backyard.

Fun With Daddy

While I was at a "sleepover" with some college girlfriends, German and the boys had a busy Sat.

Here they are eating an ice cream "snack" at Baskin Robbins.

Lucas has "ganilla"



Noah has chocolate



Then Noah pushed Lucas around our court on his trike.



They ended the night enjoying BBQ ribs (which all 3 boys love and Mama doesn't so it was a good time to have them).

Fun at Home

With all the recent rain, we have spent lots of time playing inside at home.

Lucas continues to be an adamant builder making structures that continue to increase in complexity.

Noah is a lounger and loves to hang out with his snakey.

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!!!

I am a little behind but here are some pics of the boys birthday party on 2/7. They had a blast playing with their friends & family and blowing out the candles on their train cakes.



Noah enjoyed tha chocolate ice cream the most and had about 3 bowls full.



The next morning we opened presents with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Lynn, Uncle Joey, Kai and Melina.

Swaddle me

Each night this week as we get ready for bed, the boys ask to be wrapped up like 'ritos (burritos) with their blankets. Tonight we managed to snap a picture that reminded us of a similar one we took nearly 3 years ago...


Yes - that's Lucas on the left and Noah on the right in both photos - can you see their similarities? They sure have grown up fast.

Nature Walk

We are lucky enough to live across the street from open space that has a creek and a bike path. With the great weather we have had for the last few days we have taken the boys for walks down a dirt trail to get to the bike path and then walked a ways down the path (good way to tire them out!)

Brownies

A few days ago the boys were "helping" me make brownies when the phone rang and I answered it and was chatting with a friend and looked over to see them both with both hands in the batter (which I had added all the ingredients and barely mixed it). They were eating handfuls. I got off the phone finished mixing it as they continued to eat what they could get their hands on and kept saying "yummy, yummy in my tummy." Here they very proudly showed me their chocolate hands.

Weiss Family Christmas

We celebrated xmas with my family on Jan 2 & 3rd at my parents in San Jose. Our family friend, Letty Yamada, was kind enough to bring cupcakes and toppings for the kids to decorate.

Here are Lucas & Noah busy at work.
