randomness.

:: lane totally knows his way around our town & denver as well. he can tell me turn by turn directions to target, walmart, sam's house. he can even direct me correctly to vance's office witch is a good 45 minutes away. we've told him countless times, "only mommy & daddy can start the car" i wouldn't put it passed him to think he can drive, he thinks he's an adult.

:: gage looooves to dance. here he is dancing with his shirt...

:: ferry family...how funny is this board game?

:: the other day we went to michaels to pick out stuff for lane's birthday. *sigh* i'm having a hard time wrapping my heart around 3 years old. he picked out (lime-ish)green paper, (teal-ish)blue paper, and orange paper with stars on it for his "color" theme. hmmm. i have quite a few ideas floating around in my head on what to do. he was SO excited getting everything, he was telling everyone in the store "my bird day. cuptcakes. my real fun."

:: his favorite spot.

:: want to make this. soon.

:: it is SO much fun seeing the difference in our boys as gage is getting bigger & growing up. gage is obsessed with any sort of ball; footballs, baseballs, basketballs, soccer balls. he just goes giddy and can't control his smiles. we don't remember lane necessarily being that into them, he's always been about cars, anything that moves. both equally special, both equally cute, and both equally boy.

:: i sing this song all the time. all the time.

:: i saw this picture from gage's birth and it instantly made me want to go through the whole experience again. and again. amazing. seriously, amazing.

:: lane is sleeping without his bedrail right now. i'm thoroughly expecting to hear a thump sometime soon.

:: lane still dislikes the camera. i typically get cheesy smiles. or he starts crying for me to put it away. urgh.

:: when we picked gage up from the nursery on sunday they said "he is definitely not like his big brother." i said something like "oh, yeah, was he crying for me?" they responded with "he threw a fit for you" and its true. he's a little hot head and a total mama's boy. he loooooves me, which, i can't complain:) but he is a little firecracker. when he doesn't get his way he throws himself back on the ground and arches his back screaming.

:: gage is also a quick...and slow....learner. you can't put anything past him. he's got everything figured out, he picks up on everything so quick. he now signs "more" "drink" "all done" "change" "milk" (i keep forgetting to look up what the sign is for "help") but...he is a slow learner when it comes to the word "no". he loves trash cans, tables, climbing, toliets, being naughty. he just can't seem to learn what the word "no, no, no" means. hmmm.

:: my absolute favorite thing lately is hearing lane sing his abc's. so stinkin adorable.

(taken with my phone and off course, not his best time, but you get the picture:))

:: and i love hearing him call gage "my little bruder" or "little buddy" or "gage neeeaal"

:: i've worked out everyday for nearly a week. thats a first for me since 2007 . maybe if i put it on here i'll continue with it. maybe.

:: the other day, my friend amy and i were walking on the treadmill. we asked ourselves why we didn't do this last year. we were in survival mode with new babies.

:: up and down. lots of smiles.

:: i'm super pumped about some up and coming things. think pictures.

:: vance has to exercises with his knee multiple times a day. he can't pull it up on his own so he uses a trash bag to grip and pull. lane likes to work out too.

:: on sunday vance & i didn't make our bed for the first time in almost 6 years. it felt wrong and exciting all at the same time.

:: can you say biggest smile ever?

:: i had one of my most favorite mom of 2 moments this morning...walking into a store holding both of their hands. a mix of happy/proud/joy/smiles/love/excitement/precious.

:: is it april yet?
