Lifting Weights

Brent and I don't have any exercise equipment at home, so sometimes you just have to work with what you have around the house. Well...we looked around the house and all we could find were Mesele and Abinet! They seemed heavy enough so, ....... let the workout begin!Brent went first, and he had no problem doing leg curls with our heaviest weight, Mesele, clinging onto his legs.
I thought I would start with a little bit of a lighter weight, so I called Abinet on over. It took it a little bit to bet started, but I did a few reps with about 35 lbs.

Then I got REALLY ambitious and decided to go for the heavy weight! What a terrible idea. I did get him up, but boy oh boy.....did I pay for it the next day! I think Brent and I will go out and get some real weights for our next workout!

(don't ya just love how white my legs are compared to the boys?!? I thought I still had a bit of a tan, but apparently it's not enough!)

Learning to Write My Name

Daddy thought that it would be a good idea, if Mesele tried learning how to write his own name. He only starts pre-school tomorrow, but Daddy was very determined that this would be a very good thing. At first Mesele was a little bit frustrated that he couldn't make his letters just like Daddy, but with a little coaxing, he continued to try!

The end result isn't that bad! It's too bad there are so many "e's" is his name because that was the harderst letter for him to do. I think he was hoping that they would be a few more "l's" cuz that was one that he liked to write! What can I say....My boy can write his name and he's only 3!! (for two more days...)

Pure Silliness!

Everyone once in a while you just gotta have some fun taking silly pictures. The boys were a little bit hyper, so we thought we would take advantage of that and try and get some fun pictures together.

The boys love to show off their "happy face" and when you ask them to show their "sad face" it's so funny to watch! Mesele can hold that pouty face for quite a while, but Abinet can only hold it for a second and then he bursts into a big smile again.










Brent taught the boys how to do the "funny face" and they just loved that! I'm not sure how these boys can still look cute when making that face because it sure doesn't work for me!

Sometimes you just gotta be goofy!

Blowing Bubbles!

Mesele and Abinet REALLY enjoy blowing bubbles outside! This is something that Brent and I knew the boys would love because when we first met the boys at the Foster Home, they had their first bubble experience!

They get so excited when they blow a bubble and then they scream and point at it until we look and then they have to chase it and squish it before going back and blowing another one. It's so stinkin' cute!!

Brent decided to try and have some fun of his own. He would blow the foam from the bubbles into the boys faces until they were covered in white foam. These boys just sit there and take it. Well, I guess I could say that Mesele took it a little bit better than Abinet! Oh well, they still had a really good time with all the bubbles!

I am sure the boys are wondering why mommy is CONSTANTLY carrying a camera around, but you just never know when you are going to capture that perfect picture! Well, that's all for now! Have a great day everyone!!
