Bunk Beds

The boys received an awesome gift from Grandpa Dohner--BUNK BEDS! Moses was so pumped about them & so because Moses was excited, Ezra was too. Giddy might be a better term for Moses's reaction. Nap time went okay, although Moses didn't sleep. We'll see what the first night holds for us. 

Sheer delight :-) 

Ezra can climb up just fine, but hasn't figured out getting down. . . 

What better way to relax after a hard day of work than watching Lord of the Rings?

I just realized that I never posted pictures of Halloween.  We went with the Meiss & Blunier families.  You would have thought we planned the kids' costumes, but it was a surprise when we showed up with all of the superheroes :-)  Ezra was a marathon runner, but once we put him in the stroller he never wanted to get out.

 The streets of Eureka were safe that night with the band of superheroes!

Fun at the Park

Today we enjoyed the warmer weather & headed out to the park at Lake Eureka.  Moses didn't appreciate the windiness, but he pointed out to me that there was no mud-to his pleasure- at the park.

Coming in April. . .

Dohner baby #3 :-)

We're excited for our new baby to come this spring.  The due date is April 21, but Moses isn't so sure he wants a baby as his birthday gift :-)

Firefighter Moses

Moses is really into being a firefighter right now, thanks to his favorite Handy Manny episode (Manny becomes a volunteer "bombero").  We found a "helmet" at the second hand shop for five cents, & then we also found him some pants & boots at Target that he loves to wear.  Last week when I asked him, "What do firefighters do?"  His response, "Sing songs. . . drive. . . and fight fires!"  We checked-out some books from the library so he can get a better grasp on the duties of the "bomberos."

Ezra would rather eat sidewalk chalk than work like a firefighter :-)  He is becoming quite the artist on our concrete.  He continues to be crazy & out of control, which is shown in the bump, bruise, & scrape on his forehead & the red on his right cheek.

Ezra at 15 Months

Ezra just had his 15 month check-up. He seems to be doing well physically~he's 32.5" long (83rd percentile), 23.75 lbs. (36th percentile), & his head is 49" (97th percentile).  Ezra is drooling like crazy & not too interested in talking much.  He has learned (from his big brother) that yelling, "MOM!" over & over gets my attention :-)

He is such a happy toddler, it is a lot of fun to listen to his belly laughs.  He still enjoys playing with any type of ball & also is learning how much fun it is to antagonize Moses.

Ezra loves "rough housing" & wants to get in on any type of action that he can!

Summer Fun

We headed to Tipton Park yesterday to enjoy the spray park & playground.  We met Karmelle & kids there for a morning of fun.  It was a bit chilly, so the kids enjoyed the playground a bit more than the water.  Ezra did not appreciate the temperature of the water :-)

The older kids were arguing over the two fire hydrant toys~ a popular attraction as one could spray others with a potential of not getting wet themselves :-)
