I recently purchased a new camera and lens and have been having fun trying to figure everything out. So have the boys as they are my general subject of the photos. Below are a few of the funny faces they have been making for me.

All things Cutler
Following In Mason’s Skate Steps
Cutler finally turned three and is now eligible to start skate lessons and he was very excited to hit the ice so he can play hockey like his brother. He showed lots of promise with no fussing over falling on the ice. In fact, at times I think he thought he was supposed to fall down.
He’s Three!
Today Cutler turns three years old and what an amazing ride it has been to get here. We are truly blessed to have a boy with such a heart to fight through everything he has been through and to have so many family members, friends, and friends of friends that have graciously prayed so diligently for him. Thanks to the power of prayer and some incredible doctors, we are in San Antonio for spring break with some awesome friends (pictures and stories to follow in time) where we will celebrate Cutler’s third birthday with a visit to the Alamo. Come to think of it, what an appropriate place to visit with someone who fought for their life the way Cutler did. Only difference is that Cutler won.
Below is a photo of the brothers from today at Sea World.
Champions
The last several days have been spent spinning and winning by the boys and my parents. For Christmas Mason got a healthy supply of Beyblades. Essentially they are tops that you spin in an “arena” and battle against the others. Last one standing is the winner. During our visit to St. Louis for Christmas it proved to be a big hit amongst the family and grandma and grandpa. Since then Mason has moved on to other items of interest until the past week which timed nicely with the arrival of my parents to join in the fun. They literally sat and spun for hours on end yesterday. Grandpa was “nice” enough to teach them the proper art of trash talking and grandma gave Mason a “science lesson” on friction that she apparently learned from a science fair a couple weeks ago. Here is a picture of the champions bladers after a long hard fought battle.
Another Clean Bill of Health
Yesterday morning was Cutler’s quarterly appointment for blood work and I am very happy to say that he continues to look great. We were fortunate to see all of the doctors minus Dr Lenarsky and Cutler was very happy to give them all hugs and impress them with how big he has gotten and how smart and charming he has become, obviously learning from me. Even more impressive was that he didn’t flinch when he was poked to give blood. The only time during the appointment that he fussed was when he got tired of waiting for the blood pressure machine to finish.
Where’s Cutler?
Cutler’s latest fascination, when playing outside, is to crawl into the shrubs. Not sure exactly why, especially considering the scratches he gets from his ventures, but on this particular day he loved poking his head out to “surprise” us.
JBeishir Productions Presents…
I was just rooting through my old emails and came across this video that my wonderful and talented niece, Jordan, put together of the kids dancing at my parents’ house while the adults were having a few beverages at the hockey game during our Christmas visit.
Poop Goes In The Potty
As Cutler nears his 3rd birthday we have been pushing pretty hard towards getting him out of diapers. Over the past two weeks he has done great when it comes to number 1. Unfortunately we haven’t been so lucky with the poop going in the potty…that is until last Thursday night! We were out to dinner and all of a sudden he said he had to go. After fighting me to get off the potty for what felt like eternity the deuce was dropped and all was right in Cutler’s world. He has also successfully repeated the action at least once at school so hopefully we are on the path to a diaper free world.
I just found the video above and thought the song was great. May have to start singing it to Cutler.
Boys In The Hood
Is it wrong that both of the boys ask for this song everytime we are in the truck? We raise them hard here in the burbs.
I’m thinking this will be their next photo album cover. Notice how tough Mason is when he’s thugging it up and throwing down the signs.
Future Gymnast
Cutler has been taking a weekly “gymnastics” class at school and last week they had their Olympics. Here is a video of one of his routines where he proves how literal he takes the instructions.
