Haircuts & bikes

Yes, yes...you're wondering where the boys birthday pictures are...
Well, there's so many, it's such a daunting task to go through them and blow your computer screen up with pictures of the most adorable babies ever on earth.
BUT, I shall have to do it soon because the party was fun. Small, but fun. 
Meanwhile, we are adjusting {me not so} well in Houston. We are finishing emptying our storage shed and hung up curtains--yeah! 
This week, Andrew and I got a virus and immediately started coughing, nose was runny, headaches, ear infections, swollen glands, & slight fevers. 
My poor baby boy--we had this happen to us in the Spring and  am not sure why we keep getting it. Weather adjustment is the only thing I can think of. BUT THIS SUCKS, guys. 
It's taking me forever to get over it--I think I have like 6 supplements/vitamins that I'm taking, 3 cough syrups, & just plain Tylenol. Maybe I'm not overdosing enough...
Let's continue, shall we? 

I do have to mention that I did not edit these pictures the least bit. Why? No time & my laptop isn't really good for that. 
Gary started riding his bike again. He's never taken the kids for a ride until the other day.
The boys couldn't get enough of going around and around. They kept begging "again!" 
We are trying to figure out a way for our whole family to ride---preferably the affordable way--because it really would be fun for the whole family to go out biking in the evenings.
They love getting on the car. I can't blame them since it was fun for me when I was little. 

Anything can be fashioned into a sword. Lego's, for example. 
Apparently, construction wears him out. 

And since we have no backyard, or front yard for that matter, we rocked it Poor Mexican style...
 A valde lleno de agua....that's how we do it. 
 This boy has some big buns. I wonder where he gets them from? 

Today was haircut day. I am the stylist of course. And I'm free.  
Unfortunately Jonah was taking his nap while we were buzzing & chopping away so he'll get his hair cut later. 

We've also been watching a lot of Netflix and using the iPad a lot.
I've been downloading educational apps for Andrew. He LOVES that thing. 
The boys often fight over it--and yeah, that includes the father.
I, of course, am obsessed with Instagram.

tour de pepper 2012

This weekend was my hometown's bicycle ride. It's in it's 4th year and it is as popular as ever.
It benefits Kids Across Cultures, which help kids from Mexico, China and Africa. 
And it is sponsored mainly by Dr. Pepper and Dublin's Bottling Works.

We've volunteered rest stops all four years and love being a part of it. I love watching them go by, cheering them. The riders who do stop, we love chatting them up and finding out where they're from. We even love to discuss their jerseys. This year I saw Gumby and a shirt that read, "If you can read this, you're too close". Smart rider. 
Anyways, we're always under sun early throughout the morning so it gets us going and having a good time.
 We grew a little restless sometimes...
Jonah decided to wack Carl with a road marker.
 
We're 10+ miles out from the tiny town of Dublin so we're in country land...
Weeds, longhorns, and grasshoppers--OH MY!
Hope to be back next year! Follow Tour de Pepper on FB
