Consequently, I can upload pictures quickly and safely without anything crashing! I'm so happy to finally be able to do something with my pictures again. I will never catch up from the past several months, so I'm just going forward from the last batch of pictures I downloaded from our camera.
A VISIT TO THE HOUSTON ZOO
 |
| The boys get to brush the goats, which they love. It's so much better than just petting them! |
SMILE?
 |
| I just had to include this picture since I have so many that are very similar. I say, "Smile guys!" and they do this. |
 |
| This one is also unflattering, but I still think they are just SO CUTE!!! We love having "picpics" in our backyard. |
JOSHUA'S PROJECTS
 |
| Joshua is quite a thorough painter. He covers every "empty spot" he can find. His projects so far have included a little wooden car, a train, and an airplane, part of which he is painting in the picture above... although he claims it is a spaceship, not an airplane. |
 |
| Joshua loved dipping his eggs in the different colored dyes for Easter. |
 |
| And even though they did look pretty when they were done, Joshua quickly discovered that the improvement on the outer shell did nothing for the flavor, so he only ate one or two. |
AT THE PARK
 |
| Joshua loves learning how to play soccer with his daddy. |
 |
| Good job, Joshy! |
 |
| This is Ben, the proud climber of everything... just like his brother, Sam. |
 |
| After practicing on this smaller ladder arch... |
 |
| ...both boys decided to graduate themselves up to the big kids' ladder arch. They both did great, but Ryan was still nervous watching them. |
 |
| "Yay!" (Ben) |
 |
| Look at that happy face! (Sammy) |
 |
| "Yay!" (Ben again.) Both boys absolutely love slides. |
 |
| Here's Sammy hurrying up the stairs to go down the slide again. |
 |
| Ben went down this huge slide all by himself a few times. He is a brave little guy, as is Sam. |
 |
| Here's Sammy laughing with (or possibly at) his daddy. |
