Their parents bed

I stole this picture of the boys from my daughters My Space account. I didn't realize it was taken so long ago, but it was taken around Christmastime. This is their favorite place to sleep, mom and dads bed.

The boys

This is all just clean fun with Tanner and Bryce.

Tanner wonders who the heck that baby is.

Tanner is protesting not being allowed outside at great grandma's house.

Tanner the dare devil will climb on anything. Cruising at 8mo.

PEEK-A-BOO

Family fun night gave Bryce this spider on his cheek.

Babies are so fickle, they can go from this to....

.....this in a matter of seconds.

Isn't mommy's headband cute in my hair???

The library program theme was Blues Clues and Bryce is in his bone nametag and dog ears.

Bryce was making a necklace with beads at the library program.

Chief Illiniwek's Last Dance - Feb 21, 2007

This is our beloved Chief Illiniwek. He's the symbol of our University (of Illinois). He was an 81 year old tradition and I have known personally a couple of the past chiefs. In February he was retired from performing at sporting events due to sanctions by the NCAA. It was a very sad day.
