I Shall Call Him "Mini Me"

Remember? From the Austin Powers movies? Well, seriously, Coby is a little mini-me of Victor! Take a look for yourself...

Cruisin'

Like I have said before, Blake is freakishly good at driving Coby's hand me down moster truck... it is scary! The kid does 3-point turns and all! Here are a few pics of the boys enjoying their rides.

And Yet Another Toy

Coby has seriously outgrown his infamous Green Monster Truck (and Blake is freakishly a great driver now). Therefore, Victor thought he needed a new toy so ordered him an ATV and it finally arrived! Thankfully it is battery powered and fast, so no loud and crazy noises! Needless to say, Coby is ecstatic about it and drives all over the yard. Oh, and he is starting to get a little daring with it, too. Trying out some tricks. Take a look.

Surprise!
All ATV smiles
First run drive, he loves it!
And now some tricks!
And off he goes
The verdict? Two Thumbs Up!

Getting Big

Blake can stand in the pool! He figured it out by mistake and once he did it the expression on his face was priceless! Of course I missed it with the camera, but I ran in and got a shot to prove he is standing. And speaking of swimming in the pool, he is a fish just like Coby. Jumping into the deep end and swimming his way to the step! Yay, Blakey!

Standing... ta-da!
Coby was surprised, too

First Day of School, Part III

Yes, you read it right, part three, as in this is the 3rd preschool this year. It was alot of changes for the boys but they have been excited for each one. This one is the last... maybe?
Blake started going to preschool this time around. He goes three mornings a week to the same preschool as Coby. He loves it so much! The first day as we dropped him off he didn't even say goodbye! He just ran right in and started making friends. Coby was the same way, he enjoyed being the new kid, and loves the fact his teacher's name is Ms. Holly!

Friday Night Fun

It was such a gorgeous evening last night that we decided to take the boat out for an evening cruise with the boys. We stopped off at the 15th Street Fisheries for dinner where you can dine next to the tarpon and feed them. It was the perfect place to go with two little boys (or shall I say three, since Victor enjoyed it I think just as much if not more than they did!) We got to sit right next to tarpon, just not quite sure if the kids' dinners went in their belly or to the fish!

Future Homer Employee

Victor took Coby to the Kid's Workshop this morning and they made a rain guage/bird feeder. Coby practically made it all by himspef with no help from anyone. He was so proud of himself and now he is painting it to make it even better for the birds, so he says.

Suess on the Loose

It was Dr Suess week at Coby's school and so the boys were playing Fox in a Box and Cat in the Hat. Take a look...

Boys will be boys I guess, right? Here's a pic of them getting dirty with their trucks.

There's Always a First Time

And this cold and overcast Saturday morning we decided to finally take them to their FIRST movie! Of course we have seen movies (on DVDs at home), but not in a real movie theatre. And I'm not quite sure if this one counts as we went to the IMAX to see Dinosaurs in 3D... how will we be able to bring them to a "regular" movie and have the same excitment after seeing their favorite creatures in 3D on that humongous IMAX screen??? Oh well, we'll deal with that when the time comes. Anyways.... the boys loved it, Blake was a much better sport than I had expected. According to Coby, some scenes were too scary so I would glance over at him and he had his eyes closed shut and ears plugged with his fingers. On the other side of me, Blake was watching the movie amazed. Too funny, but they loved it!

Carnival Time

I took the boys to my old school where I went for 7th and 8th grade to the Italian Festival. It has been around for 25 years and I thought it would be neat to take them there. Needless to say they had a BLAST and I think I did too! They went on rides, played games, ran into friends and ate ice cream.
