family photos and updates.

I think that this is the first picture we've got of all four of us ever! Ike is nearly three months old and we couldn't hold still long enough to get a picture until today!!!
Kent's head is cut off and we are not centered because this was taken by timer from the other couch. I can't believe that we got a smile out of the Zebster at the appropriate time. Ike doesn't take direction quite yet.

Here's the photo that was taken when we were still getting ready. I thought that kent had set the ten second timer- but apparently it was the 2 second one. Zeb was trying to get us to eat his strawberries (I think it's actually supposed to be a tomato but he calls it a strawberry) and grapes.
I couldn't resist posting this picture. I know that most parents think their children are just adorable all the time- but I will admit that Ike has his cute times and his not so cute moments. Just ask my seminary students- one of them gagged one morning when he started coughing. She said it grossed her out really bad and that he looked "scary" when he coughed!!
Lately he has been pretty darn cute nearly all of the time. His laughs and giggles are hilarious. Unfortunately EVERY time I pull out the video camera to record it- he gets all intrigued and becomes very serious immediately.

Zeb has finally started to LOVE coloring. It used to bore him tremendously but now he gets so excited when he sees any writing utensils. We've had a few run ins with the crayons this week however. I'm posting this picture of his artwork on the wall. Right after I took the picture he was required to wash down the wall. I won't be including the picture of the blue crayon that he ate (it's a picture of the digestion aftermath).
You can see his little pointer finger in the "no" position as he mimics my actions pointing to the wall. "no, wall, no" he kept saying to me.
