Growth Spurt

Lately I have really been noticing all the changes in my kids. They seem to be growing so fast! They are getting so much bigger, and smarter, and funnier --- where does the time go?

I think it's so weird what school does to a small boy. He comes home a changed person every day. You can just see (and hear when he tells me all the goings on of the day) the growth in him. I'm amazed by this. His funny word right now is "air-hot balloon" "Mom I saw another air-hot balloon while I was on the bus going to school!"

Alex is so funny! He's the never ending actor at our house. Every time I sneak a peek at him he's imitating some funny character...it's hilarious. When he knows I'm looking he pulls one of these faces. I would love to know a smidgen of what goes on inside that head of his! P.S. He found another "Clone-Trooper" helmet at the DI the other day---he was over the moon. More funny pictures of that are sure to follow. His favorite show right now is "Hook" he studies it, memorizes all the songs and is enamored with the pirates.
Derrick has got to be going through a growth spurt right now. I find him sleeping everywhere --- except his bed. I also noticed his feet are getting bigger and he eats constantly! I have also been finding random lights on in the middle of the night when I get up with Zeke, and usually Derrick is on the floor asleep. I have got to get that kid a nightlight. I think he wakes up, gets scared, get's up turns on the light (sometimes in the bathroom, sometimes his bedroom, even Dallin and Alex's once and then doesn't quite make it back to his bed. Weird!
P.S. The picture on the left was taken with my new camera, the picture on the right with my old one. I am loving having a few (tons) more mega-pixels to work with!!!!
Zeke is turning into a toddler. His baby days are fast approaching the end. Before you know it he'll figure out how to tell me "no" too! LOL! He's walking all over the place, loves to play in my make-up [all my blush and eye-shadow are now in bits because he's dropped them on the tile floor---grumble, grumble], and he tries hard to keep up with his brothers, a very daunting task if you ask me. :D

I hope they stay little a while longer, there is so much to going on all the time I sometimes feel like I'm missing it!

Note to self: Take time to notice the little things in life!
