This is Brody pulling his sled up for another ride down.

Cam waiting for Brody to bring the sled back up

Cam on his way back up

Dad getting them ready for a double ride

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

How did Brody manage to get his brother to pull him back up the hill? What a deal.

Yeeeaah!

This is the baseball field of a school just down the street from our home

Time for a snowball fight...

...and then a good pout

Mom and Brody

Off into the sunset on a new adventure

The boys are constantly making new "habitats." This one consists of outdoor chairs with water cups and cushions from the sofa. I suppose the other pillows are the ottomans?

"Let's have a race!" The boys line up almost all of their Matchbox cars in the hall.

Brody in the "Bouncy House" with hair full of static

At 3 years old, it was time for a new experience...

and they were pretty successful at making their own Rice Krispies Treats

Brody in his tunnel...

...and Cam

Brody crawled through to the Ball Pit

One kool kid

Brody getting away from everyone, finding a quiet place to draw

Cam's catch when playing a Go Fishin' game

Here's Brody's catch

Music time featuring Brody on the guitar...

...and now featuring Camden

Now we'll hear a duet from the boys

Duet number 2 with the instruments swapped

The boys rolling the drum across the floor in their first actual music class

Brody took first turn on the miniature cello

Then Cam got a chance to play

This book went from a "flip up book" to a "rip up book"

A Mack Truck for the Matchbox cars

After Mom returned from New Orleans with Mardis Gras beads, they were an accessory to every outfit

We told you they ALWAYS wear hats; the sunglasses are in there somewhere in Brody's bed

When Daddy walked in the next morning, this was in Brody's bed and Brody was in his toy chest hiding from Daddy. He started laughing when Robert pulled the sheets off his stand-in, the bear with the hat!!

Wonder what he's dreaming about

Just outside the door of their rooms is a "special spot." This is a place where they can put all the toys and items they carry upstairs, but we don't really want in their bed.

These items stay safe in the "special spots" until they wake up and grab them in the morning.

Daddy and Brody "watching" a movie

Back to the '70s

The boys in their drive-in movie

Brody, Gretel and Mommy wiped out!

The "Aces of Cookies"

Learning colors and having fun

Mmmmm this is good!

The boys are quite the artists, especially when they aren't really hungry. Here is Cam showing off his food art.

A Brody original

Cam is tired of just playing with his food, so he decides to decorate himself with chocolate

But I think Brody has him beat at this game.

Valentine's from Aunt B and Taylor made of...

...melted crayons.

Official refrigerator artwork

Cam made these sweet sunglasses

Brody made the fruity ones

My! What a big mouth you have!

Each year the University of Alaska Seawolves play Denver and Colorado College in hockey. This year we went to one of the Denver Pioneers games.

Cam's photo smile

Brody has the best view

Brody and his friend, in the background, with their earbuds and iPods

How lucky am I?

There's my little man

The boys carry their chairs over to watch TV with me

Hammond's Candy has been in Denver since 1920.

They sell fine candies and chocolates to places like Harry and David's.

We decided to take a tour and taste some samples.

Brody already has his hat and is ready to cook.

Still wearing their sunglasses

At the factory, everything made that day is boxed and shipped out the same day

The pink packages are cream-filled chocolate bunnies for Easter

Since it was one of the slower weekdays, we donned the hairnets and went into the packaging area

We carried the boys to make sure they didn't try to sample any of the candy surrounding us

Here are some of the folks who are actually hand-packing the candy and chocolate

These sweet boys got some sweet orange creme lollipops to devour

How can you choose what to try?

I don't guess they will ever go out of business with these delicious temptations around

"Mommy, let's get this lollipop!"

The ribbon candy is one of Hammond's signature products. Models of it are hanging from the ceiling.

The best part of the whole day

Lollipop heaven

Another one of the boys' habitats

You might notice there are more blankets and animals which have been added since the last photo.

They continued running up the stairs and bringing items from their bedrooms until they had everything from their bed downstairs and set up like they were going to sleep.

Then they pulled up their chairs, had a drink and enjoyed the fruits of their labor.

Gretel getting some treats from the boys

Food art is now going vertical...

...and getting really colorful

We are always "finding" items in strange places. This is a storage container for Matchbox cars.

Brody building his log cabin...

...while Cam stretches out on Mommy's couch

Here is an example of an array of items found in one of the boy's backpacks

And here is what was was in the other backpack

Dressed for a day out on the town

Complete with all accessories: sunglasses, headbands, wristbands, and Mardis Gras beads!
