such focus!



 
Playing with some new crayons and a new coloring book!


The tongue of focus that the Voeller boys both possess.


Loving his new Legos!


Getting to play with someone else's new toys > better than playing with your own new toys!




Being a silly guy!

christmas goods

Right after Christmas, the boys had 'pajama day' at daycare!
This gave them an opportunity to wear their new robes from Granny and slippers from Mom! 
Brody wore his new pajamas from Kelby & Alex, but Dane opted for some classic footie-jamas that he's nearly too tall for!
 



The boys got punch balls from Santa in their stockings.
Dane's lasted about 4 seconds as it busted while being filled with air, but Brody's is still going strong!


Even after excessive use at the table!


bowling

We did a little family bowling on the Saturday morning following a busy Christmas weekend.

 We nearly had the place to ourselves and the boys had so much fun!
  


Placing their chosen ball in the ball return


Could barely keep their hands off the ball and wait for their own turns!



So heavy! But no help allowed!



Agreeing to use the dinosaur



Trying out an extra dinosaur to see if it will work for a slide!


Trying it like Dad!


Watching for a strike!


Action shot!


Wait for it.......


Yes!!! Celebration! I hit something!


Not too shabby!


Action shot!

It's a good thing we had our own end of the bowling alley. Brody got a little crazy....managed to grab his own ball, run down 3 lanes or so, and tossed it before either Dustin or I could stop him. Dustin made a great attempt, but unfortunately a greasy ball is not the easiest thing to grab when in motion. Brody sat out for the remainder of the bowling event and Dane graciously finished out his frames for him. 
Dane also took 2nd place out of 4 with his own score, following only Dustin, not too bad for a 3 year old. 
In my defense, he had gutter bumpers. I did not.

soooo focused!


 mom and dane! one shot that dane's face wasn't complete blur!

even with the 'sports' setting on my camera, which is supposed to have the best capture for movement, i still have trouble getting a shot of these faces sometimes, without them looking like a criminal not wanting to be part of a television taping!


somewhat old news, but the basement is sheetrocked!!!
