Mike's Mini-Me

Xavier looks up to his daddy SO much!  He often asks, "Daddy what team do you want to win?" before deciding which team he wants to cheer for.  He wants to wear the same kind of clothes, do the same activities, eat the same foods, drink the same drinks, etc.  Not surprising, I found Xavier as a "Mini Mike" on the day of the last Indianapolis Colts football game (Mama's contribution was the beer for Mike and Root Beer for Xavier):

They both seemed to enjoy themselves immensely (except for the fact that the Colts lost).


"Breathtaking. I shall call him... Mini-Me." ~Dr. Evil

Shy

Xavier's typically not the slightest bit shy.  However, he is a great actor!

Small Space

One day I was fixing the roller track on one of the drawers in the kitchen.  Easton seized the opportunity to squeeze into the small space and see what the view from within the cupboards looked like.

"Swimming"

The boys LOVE "swimming" in Gramma & Papa's big bathtub!

Snow what fun!

The boys were able to enjoy playing outside in the snow many times this winter. 

 

 

Taking a break to let Mama take a quick picture.

Poor Easton!  He wasn't a fan of sled rides!

FIVE!

Hard to believe Xavier is five years old already!  How quickly those years have gone by!

A REAL tool set!

 

A festive little partier :)

 

Mobi Go games!

 

A new bike!

Xavier enjoyed the day immensely and is very excited about being 5 years old now!

Hello!

Easton loves to say "Hello!" and talk on the phone...

Not sure who he's trying to call. (We unplugged the cord
from the wall since he was so intent on using the phone!)

"Mama, could you give me a minute!?"

"Okay, let me just write that down quick!"

 

He's such a silly little monkey! :)

 

 

"Today or any day that phone may ring and bring good news." ~Ethel Waters
