The Dove's

This momma and papa dove set up their nest in amongst the ivy outside our kitchen sink window. We all loved keeping tabs on their progress. Both the male and female take turns sitting on the eggs and they also are mates for life. It was so awesome to see how fast those newly hatched birds grew and then eventually take flight. Last spring/summer they did this twice...we are hoping they come back again this year.

Tired Quach's

Our guys are very close to each other...they love to all pile in the same bed on the weekends and watch tv together. One night I went up to check on them and this is what I found...

Of course Brandon is in his spot...

SNOW DAY!

Thinh's newest project...stay tuned!

My hubby loves to wheel and deal and trade and negotiate a deal...this is a 1980 Triumph Spitfire in dire need of some TLC. He traded his bowflex machine for this...Lord help me! lol

Christmas at Mimi and Papa's

Every year since Thinh and I have been married, we go to my parent's house for Christmas. And now the boys love this tradition too! Simon fell asleep, so my boys put out the milk and cookies for Santa.

So, before they checked out what Santa brought...a quick pic with Simon...

and another...poor guy looks like he is still sleeping!

Mason sporting his red cowboy hat...one of his many dress up outfits.

Simon LOVED his Thomas jammies

Finally... a WII!

Brunch ... YUM!

Brandon and Andrew loved riding the dirt bikes around and around...

May the Force Be with You

This just cracks me up! After watching Star Wars at Uncle Nick's house over Thanksgiving...the boys developed a love for it! Mason and Andrew staged these pics...I think it is too cute!

A "Rev-ving" Christmas

"Santa" brought the dirt bike that Brandon is on for Christmas for the boys to share...but daddy thought everyone should have their own...so on the way to mimi and papa's to celebrate Christmas, we made a pit stop to pick up the red one. While celebrating with my dad's side of the family on Christmas Eve, Thinh was chatting with my cousin's hubby and don't you know he struck a deal with Cory and off they went to his barn to pick up the one Mason is on! Let me tell you, even though we had the big conversion van along...it was jammed packed full and smelling like fuel for the ride home! OMG! lol

The boys sporting their adorable knitted hat that their great grandma made them (along with matching sweaters) for Christmas.
