All the fun things we did with Mamma Kathy!

These are the creepiest things I have ever seen! They are tomato horn worms. The white is actually wasps eggs that feast on the worm until it dies and the wasps hatch. The white things move and sqwiggle. SO GROSS!!!! These were on our tomatoes.

The boys brought them in the house and tried to set them free in the living room. I was creeped out for days.
Google tomato worms and you may never plant tomato plants again!
We found this for free down the street and dragged it home. The boys LOVE it. It is missing a handle and is super dirty, but we love it.
The boys got creative and found a branch to put through the hole for a handle.




Trying to capture the butterfly.

He caught it!
Cool Ethan!
Such a funny baby!
Our sweet little Buckeye!



Such a cuddle bug!
These are my favorite shoes! Go Bucks!
So sweet!

He loves to be held. Good luck getting any sleep Mommy!
Not happy to be naked.
He is a really strong baby.
Not as skinny as Ethan was, but you forget how tiny a 1 week old baby is.
The bath part of naked is okay and he stopped crying.
"That was so exhausting Mommy"!
Christmas in September! Mamma was sad she wouldn't get to open presents with the boys at Christmas so she brought the presents and let the boys have an early Christmas with her.
My cuties!
Mommy's favorite present!
Such a sweet boy.
Grandma and Ethan were wrestling.

Austin was much better at opening presents this year.
Opening his new church socks.
Putting on his new socks.
Ethan was telling jokes and we were all laughing.
The boys new blankets Mamma made for the boys beds.
Their new matching pillow cases. Ethan was running around like this and totally fell face first.
Their new bed set up.
Cheese!
Playing at Peyton's pool for the last time this summer. We were lucky and the Gurney's invited us over often this summer to play with them in their pool. The boys LOVED it. Thanks guys!
Chasing the ball.

Austin is a little fish and his favorite thing in the world is swimming!





It is official! His social security card came in the mail.
Riding the horse that is just like ours that he never plays with.
This is the best toy ever. All the kids LOVE it and wait for a turn.
Ethan is kind of big, but he loves it too!
Austin and Papa Stoddard laughing at each other. We are so greatful for all the wonderful people we have met here and how they have truly become our family.
Playing knights in the sandcastle.

Ethan and his adoptes papa (Brother Stoddard).
Mamma Kathy and baby Jace getting some fresh air and sunshine.
Austin and Kayden playing "pool". Mostly they just rolled the balls around and laughed.
My little goof ball was wearing an old garbage can like a skirt, and he thought he was so funny. This is his mischievous look.

Austin swinging with Mamma.
The Stoddards awesome swingset he built himself.
His hands really are big.
Fingers in his mouth and rubbing his head are two of his favorite things.
Look at all that hair!
Such a cutie.
Look how giant Ethan's hands look next to tiny Jace.
Sweet baby feet!!!!
Feeding the ducks in the river by the zoo.
Showing Mommy the bread.
Austin was so super tired he could hardly stay awake.

Austin kept eating the bread. I don't think there was any mold.
The komodo dragon was right up by the glass and sticking his tongue out. The boys thought it was hilarious.
Austin was loving it.


Jace is 1 week old and already an animal lover.
Ethan, Mamma and my fingers under a microscope.
While we were waiting for the storm to pass so we could safely go home... we played with the microscope in the polar bear indoor exhibit. We checked out how skin looks under a microscope. It was amazing how different it looked as we ages. Jace had super smooth skin. A picture of Mamma's hand.
While we were there the tornado sirens went off, the wind was crazy and the skies were creepy greenish and dark. Mamma was a little worried so we went up by the polar bears so we could go down into the basement(underwater viewing area has little maintenance rooms). Everyone was taking pictures of the sky over Columbus hoping to catch a funnel cloud. It never rained by us and we didn't see any funnel clouds, but it was a little creepy!
This is Jace not appreciating the slight breeze so we covered him all up.
The howler monkeys are always our favorite.
