I have been feeling a little guilty that our Blog was last updated in February, so I thought I would post some of the photos of the boys so you all could enjoy them as much as I do! Holden's "new trick" is to go to Starbucks with Auntie Goober and follow the proper ordering and drinking procedure. He has endured many strict training sessions and is almost as well trained as Goober's dogs back in Texas! Here he is enjoying his favorite juice mix after the a perfect performance in his selection and ordering procedures!
He even knows which chairs are the comfy ones and he has down the "one-handed" drinking method better than most Starbucks customers.
Have we mentioned that Spencer Hos' japanese obsession is Pokemon? It rivals his american obession with Scooby-Doo! Holden is now Hos' closest shadow and follows obediently almost every move. This is the back of an abnormally large Pikachu at the arcade.
Holden is trying to explain that it's not time to go yet, despite dad's boredom!
We try to avoid letting them climb inside unless we are weighed down with loose change and an extra 45 minutes to burn.
Holden has started to really enjoy books. He likes to look at them himself and he jabbers away the conversations the animations are engaged in.
One of his favorite spots to read is in his brother's bean bag! Strategically placed next to the bookcase, he can enjoy hours of endless reading! Or destruction, as Hos likes to put it. Hos isn't so keen on Holden using his bean bag.
Or perhaps it's the mess Holden leaves behind that really gets Hos upset! (Yes, that is Hos beloved Pikachu doing a death drop off the bean bag) But for now, Hos is at school and Holden has free rein of the coveted bean bag and bookcase!
Despite any differences earlier in the day, Hos and Holden both love to play together on the futons when we are setting them up for the night and they love to read bed time stories. It's part of their bed time ritual!

Oh good ole Pokemon. Kade went through that phase 2 years ago. We have about 200+ collecting cards and just last month cleaned out the toys and threw out tons of Pokemon. I wish we would have known of Hos' love, we could have saved them for when you come out this summer.
Holden is getting so big, I find that sad. Your baby is growing up so fast, reading, clearing the dinner table, lounging in the bean bag. What a little man!
Our little family is growing like crazy. We miss Salem. Has our home turned into a "gamma house" ? More importantly has there been a bench added to the front yard? We miss our friends and the ward. We do love it here it is just not the same as Little Ol' Salem though. Miss carpet, central heat and air, open spaces, our nice things, our piano, sofa's etc. We are well though. Miss you all.
