Brothers

Clayton and Collin get along really well...usually.

A rare pose by both boys.

This is not a rarity, Clayton tackling, pulling down, and "hugging" Collin

Collin is normally right behind Clayton, and sometimes leading the way.

We do dress them in things other than pjs. Promise.

Here is the big bother and the little brother sitting with cousin Sofia.

The little guy Collin

"Col", "Colli-Bear", or Clayton's "Tolwin"

Our Dimpled, long lashed, affectionate, ham.

Sharer of most things, by choice and sometimes by force, thanks to big brother.

Happy, and playful.

Always working on his dance moves.

Ready for peek-a-boo over the couch, or chasing through the house.

Collin will stop and allow you to take a picture, unlike his brother. Collin is a rough and tumble, sweet natured, sensitive little guy. He tries to keep up with his brother and loves to be outside as well.

Our first son Clayton

Here he is, our "big guy", the "boss" Clayton

A Bears Fan

Mommy's little man. (note to parents of babies: find something that your child will use as a security blanket. Clayton doesn't have a security blanket, he uses Mommy's hair as his security. He use to touch it as he went to sleep. Now there are times that he still needs to touch it before the world is right. A blanket is much more accessible)

Always ready to help out and take care of others. Pictured here with Sofia (Andre and Roxanne's daughter)

A bath enthusiast...and water in general.

An outdoors-man to the max. If it's outside it is good, If it's in the woods it's better.....

and if it's outdoors, in the woods, there is water, and rocks to throw in the water, heaven on earth! A boy after his dad's own heart.

As you can see we don't have many pictures of Clayton sitting around, because he doesn't sit around. He is full of energy and never stops. Clayton will be three in April.

Collin's Birthday

Last month we celebrated Collin's first birthday. Collin is a sensitive, entertainer, who loves anything Clayton. He really enjoyed his birthday party, and has since been walking around the house saying "happy day".

Here are a few pictures from Collin's first birthday party.The birthday boy sitting in his throne

He liked his lit candle.

Collin tried to blow the candle out.

He got a little help from his brother.

He wanted to share the icing at first.

Then he didn't.

He really liked the icing.

Icing on everything.
Cleaning up.

Balloons are a lot of fun.

A new truck to play with.

Clayton enjoyed winning a game of Memory during the party. He is very good.

Recent Pictures

Here are a couple of recent pictures of the boys. It has been quite a while since we posted.

Clayton after a bath.
Collin playing with his balloons.

A good smile for once.

Bruises are common on Collin these days. He does have hair, it's hiding in the back.
