Here's a good close-up of Tyson. You may notice a few bruises on his forehead. I don't know what it is lately, but the boys keep hitting their heads real bad. Last week Devon was jumping on his bed and hit his head on the corner of the dresser. It was a pretty big gash with lots of blood. Luckily it wasn't big enough to rush him to the e.r. We were told by Devon's Dr. that we could stich it up or that it would heal just fine on it's own, it would just leave a scar. It's nice that for now the cut is underneath his blonde hair, but if he get's those lucky Corbridge baldy genes, he just might be upset with us later on in life.

Devon and Tyson love to pull all of the pillows off the couches and off the beds to make what Devon calls a "dog house". They will make a tight, long tunnel with the pillows and crawl through it about a hundred times and then jump all over them. Here is a picture of the boys during their most recent adventure in the "dog house".

Devon looking cute in his baseball hat.

Devon and his friends Ava and Bailey. They are 4-year old twins that we now watch each weekend. We have a babysitting swap that we do each weekend with their parents so we can have a date night. These girls have lots of energy and are so much fun! It is nice for me to have a few girls around with all of the boys that I am use to being around.

Cragun's - we didn't ditch you. When you get back into town and are ready to go out again, we will swap with you! :)

This is a picture of the beautiful beach in Newport. It has been one of our favorite places to visit while living in southern California.

Tyson loves to play his recorder. Every time we go to take a picture of Tyson, he has to come right up to the camera and try to grab it. That's why he is super close in most of his pictures.

Devon and his friend Kimball. Kimball just moved to South Carolina and Devon misses him lots! Devon prays that he can go see Kimball, but not his pet crocodile that lives in the lake behind his house. That always makes us laugh.

Devon borrowed this Batman mask and cape from his friend Kimball. The boys loved being Batman and fighting dad.

Devon and Tyson love going to the beach. This is from our recent trip to Santa Barbara.

Devon loves getting water in his bucket and making things with the wet sand.

Hello family and friends! We have enjoyed our friend's blogs/websites so much we decided to join in on all the fun. We love staying connected to all of you near and far.

We are still in Los Angeles and loving it. Jared is starting his 4th, and hopefully last, year of dental school at UCLA. That means we are coming to another exciting crossroads and we are eagerly anticipating where the next move will take us. We are in the process of applying to 27 orthodontic programs across the country. Interviews will be in October and November and if any land us near you, we will be sure to say hi.

Devon is enjoying one-on-one swim lessons this summer at the pool in our apartment complex. He loves jumping in the big pool and swimming to the side. He is very brave and persistent as he works hard to get better each time. Devon also has been enjoying the computer. This last week he has been waking up early (one day at 4am!) to get online and play his favorite games. He maneuvers through the internet (Playhouse Disney, NickJr, and PBS kids) like a pro and seems to be learning a lot in addition to having fun.

Tyson is also fearless when it comes to the water. He keeps trying to jump in the big pool too. Devon's teacher even suggested we let him do it just to give him a little scare so he won't do it when we are not looking. Tyson still only has two teeth, (Dr. Dad says he should have 12-16 teeth), but we are not too worried because Jared still needs some partial dentures to graduate. Toothless or not, Tyson still is a great eater. Devon and Tyson are great friends and play very well together. We will try to keep this site updated so check back when you get a minute and drop us a line if you have two. We love you!

Jared, Stephenie, Devon, Tyson
