Jelly beans

I gave malcolm some jelly beans that I got a work today. His response was an excited,

"Jelly Beans! I've been asking for these a whole life"

Proud dad

Today is a huge milestone. Malcolm is officially better than jen at super mario world. He can beat the first 2 levels with out any help at all. He really does take after me.

The following video is one of the several times he has cleared the first level.

Fall

We have finally moved into our new home. We promise to post pics of it when we get our endless list of projects done. We decided we needed to take a break from all of the home improvement projects and take our annual Fall pictures. We can't believe how much the kids have grown this year. Our sweet Malcolm is three going on thirty and Claire is 8 months and is starting to try to crawl. Everyone tells us to enjoy our kids while they are little because time flies and before you know it, they are grown. This, I am afraid, is true. Enjoy!

Growing Kids

Claire is now 7 months old! Seriously, I don't know where the time has gone. Here are a few new pictures of them. Malcolm loves this cape we bought him and has decided he is Batman. It's the cutest thing. Malcolm is the best older brother and loves his "Baby Claire".

BEACH

We took a short , quick vacation to the beach. We went with Julie and her kids. It was really fun. The kids had never been so they were excited to play in the sand. We made the mistake of having shark week on the week before so our niece Addison was the only brave one to get in!! Enjoy!

Malcolm 3rd Birthday

Malcolm wanted a SUPER HERO birthday party! His birthday is Aug.8th but all our family will be out of town so we had it early. It was so fun! The kids wouldn't hold still for pictures but we tried out best!
