My boys!

I love watching Drew get to cuddle and play with our boys and I love seeing the boys play really well together.  Often times I feel like my life is chaos trying to take care of Alden and Anders who are both boatloads of energy.  However, I wouldn't trade my life for anything and I cherish the memories that we are making together.  These are some photos I took that remind me why I love being a mom and how grateful I am for a wonderful husband.

It is rare to see my boys all resting and calm at the same time, but it does happen and I love those moments.  I love seeing my boys all cuddled together and enjoying precious time together.

Anders absolutely LOVES his blanket.  He is so attached to his blanket and will drag it all over the house.  He has recently taken to chewing on it, I am guessing for comfort.  I think it is a little funny but kind-of adorable at the same time.

He is such a sweet little boy who takes after his mom and grandpa and loves his blankets.

Even if he isn't chewing on it he still drags it everywhere and holds it close.

 We don't get to go to the park a lot here, because it is so hot, but occasionally we will get out early enough and go.  I love watching Anders walk around and explore as he figures out how to do things on his own.

 Alden is getting so much more adventurous and independent on the playground.  I love watching him grow and learn new things. 

 These brothers love to play together and it is so fun to watch.  I love the smiles and laughs that I get to see when they play together!

 Anders always wants to be near his brother and loves watching him try different things.

There is a small patio attached to the apartment and Alden was really excited to find a lizard out there one day. 

Alden loved watching the lizard! 

 Anders loves sitting on his little tricycle on the patio...I just wish we had more room for him to play.

 Alden really misses having more area to ride his bike.  But, he is still happy for any chance that he gets to ride.  I love that the boys are happy with whatever time they get outside with their bikes, even if it is minimal.

 Anders loves the water park and loves playing in the water!

 Anders really wants to be a big boy so that he can play with the water squirters with his brother.  

I love my boys so much!  Both Alden and Anders are so full of energy and joy that they can't help but make me smile.  I love seeing them enjoy spending time together and I love seeing how much Alden loves his brother and how much Anders wants to follow his brother.  Drew always makes me smile and he always makes my days better.  I couldn't ask for a better family.
