brothers

What more can I say? Trevor and Joel are crazy brothers. I think that their togetherness amplifies their energy level 10 fold. Hopefully, they are building strong memories as brothers.

Joel's b-day

Joel celebrated his 3rd birthday on May 14th. He had a Cars themed birthday party with friends and Oma & Papa in attendance. Highlights were playing with friends, eating cupcakes, and opening presents.

Trevor's graduation

Trevor graduated from his first of two years of preschool. We didn't realize the importance of this ceremony and so, unlike other kids who were decked out in collared shirts and oxfords, he wore jeans and a Star Wars lego t-shirt. Unlike other parents, we did not get him balloons, flowers, iced diploma cookies, or gifts for this graduation. I think we'll wait until high school! Congrats Trevor!

sleepy Joel

Not even a bagel could keep him awake.....time for a nap.

swimming lessons

The boys are taking swimming lessons at the YMCA. This is Trevor's 4th time and Joel's 1st. They are in the same class because Trevor isn't quite ready to go under the water whenever the instructor asks him too -- he has done it once or twice willingly and a few times accidentally when jumping in from the side of the pool.

scooter boys

The transportation of choice around Q-town is scooters (if you're asking Trevor and Joel). They ride up and down the driveway, around the block, to the park, and even to Evie and Issac's house. Here is Trevor doing some maintenance on his scooter before they depart to the park.

Delinquent

Okay, so we haven't been the best bloggers (only a one year gap), but we do get the hints (Heidi and Dad!). So here's to renewing the blog and not relying upon Facebook for sharing pics and milestones. Pictured are Joel's hands (picking up the bark) and Trevor's hands (on the brick).
