One on One time

Tonight Tom and KC had a date to go golfing with eachother. They were both SO excited to do this together. Tom noticed that KC is pretty good at swinging the club, so he set them a date to go. KC is finally able to use the little set that Santa brought like 3 years ago, thank goodness he's finally grown into them. They had alot of fun, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of it. I would have sent the camera with Tom, but didn't think that he would even bother to take any shots. Maybe next time, I can tag along with and get some photos. I did manage to get a photo of mine and Xander's date though. He and I went to buy him new water shoes for our lake trip next week and went to get an ice cream cone too. At first, he was pretty bummed that he had to go on a date with me. He really wanted to go with Daddy and KC, but I think the ice cream cone changed his mind. Xander LOVES ice cream cones! I love this kid.

Swim Lessons

The boys are taking swim lessons at the Draper pool, and for the most part are enjoying it. Well, KC is loving it and Xander is enduring it. We put KC in level one, and I wasn't quite sure if he was ready to be there yet, but he actually seems to be doing really well. I think he also likes the fact that he is the only boy in his class and that his teacher is really cute! He is such a show off, it's fun to watch him 'perform' for them. Xander is in pre-level 2 and is doing pretty good. He on the other hand is very shy. Before we left for lessons tonight he informed me that he didn't want to go because he hated his teacher and doesn't like the kids in his class. I mean c'mon, he is 3 for crying out loud, is he really capable of feeling this?! He is such a funny kid. He'll say anything to get out of doing something, I'm really starting to catch on to his antics. I mananged to get some pictures of them while there tonight.

Wanted: Photographer

Anyone know of a good photographer in the area that is not too expensive? Do you know of someone that would like to capture such a photogenic family such as the Harris'? I really want to get our pictures taken, and especially get the boys' pictures done. I'm starting to feel really guilty that I don't have any recent professional photos of the boys. If any of you out there know of anyone, let me know. Thank you!

Us being photogenic.

Ashes, ashes, and we all come tumbling down!

So last Saturday we came home from KC's soccer game, and Tom and I were beat! We hadn't slept well the night before and needed a nap. Tom fell asleep on the couch downstairs and I laid down on the bed, not thinking that I would fall asleep. Well I did. Now you may be asking yourself, what did the boys do during our naps? Or rather what did they do while their parents neglected them. KC watched cartoons, he always is really good at keeping out of trouble. Xander on the other hand is a terror- er I mean, adventurous little boy. He decided that he would play in the backyard. I don't mind him playing back there, because it is fenced and locked so he can't escape. He can usually play there for a couple hours without to much mischief. Below are pictures of what happens when both parents decide to take a nap at the same time.



Doesn't this face have "guilty" written all over it?


Notice the black eyebrows? Well Xander decided to play in the firepit and wear some of it too. He dragged two ashy logs over to the sandbox. The sandbox that we are constantly telling him not to play in, because the previous owners used it as a litter box for her cats. (Yeah, well it is on my list to get rid of.)



The thing that is really funny about these pictures is, Xander hates posing for any kind of picture. It's always impossible to get a good shot of him, but for these he really hammed it up for us. We could tell that he was quite proud of himself for what he had done. Tom nicknamed him our "chimney sweep". By the way, I'm looking into getting some sort of a cover for the firepit.

Old Photos

I've been going through some of our old photos and came across this one. KC with his friend that we knew when we lived in the village at the U. Look at him check her out! They were always so cute with eachother, and if I remember right, I think they enjoyed sneeking a kiss here and there.

My baby's birthday

Our little baby is no longer a baby any more. Xander turned 3 today, which is making me very, very sad. I've been going through photos of when he was younger and have had to ask myself "where did the time go"? And also, "where did my hawaian baby go"? Sorry Thomas, he once did look like you, I'm afraid he has too much of me in him though. We still think he's cute, just not as hawaiian as we thought he would turn out. What do I expect, he is only 1/8. I've decided to post some pics of Alexander of when he was little, because you know me- I just can't resist showing off my handsome boy.





Thanks for making us smile everyday, we love you Xander Bander!
