Shea's ABC's

This was Shea less then one year ago. Listen to this post and then listen to the next post- Wow what a difference.



Shea can not only count to 15, but he can say and recognize all the letters of the alphabet. Listen to my smart little boy. Original Date 2/15/08

Shea's ABC's take 2

Here is Shea saying his ABCs almost one year later. What a difference a year makes. I can not wait until next year to see what he can do.



Make sure you watch the other one first.

Mason Reading

Mason loves to read this book over and over again just like Shea.

Happy New Year

Have a Blessed Year to all our friends and family.
Don't forget to go to the bottom of the blog to turn off the music so you can hear the boys.

Noon Years Eve

Today we went to the New Years Eve Party at the Discovery Science Center. We had a great time.

We made some rockets

We got to see what bats see

We got to hear what bats hear

We did experiments


We made Party Hats and said Cheers!


They even had a count down with falling balloons.

Merry Christmas

Every year since Shea was born Scott has had to work on Christmas. This year was no different, needless to say my boys enjoy every minute of their time at the Fire Station. After the fire station visit we went to Grandma Gail's house and had some cousin fun.

Rainy days at the Stephens House

So we got this frog as a White Elephant gift at church and the boys love to play the music and dance. They fight over who gets to make the frog sing. Shea was a little shy as soon as I got the camera. You have to come over soon and see his moves.

Shea's first stage show

Ok so this is not that exciting for everyone, but for me mom. This was pretty cool.

My little firefighters

It is getting close to Shea's 3rd birthday and I thought it would be fun to ask him what he wanted to do. So I asked him, " Do you want an O George (Curious George), Elmo, Word World, Dump Truck, Trash Truck, etc. party never mentioning Fire. But, every time I said something he would say no Firetruck. Needless to say he will be having a Firefighter party. Here are some photos we took to make his invite.

Mason wanted to get into the act as well.
