Yesterday we went to our newly opened Whole Foods store. Sadly its a good 45 min. – 60 min. away, but well worth it. We got a lot of Vegan staples to take place of other items in our kitchen. Armed with new vegan recipes, we got a lot of great things. The boys really enjoy their soy banana pudding…yum yum. For dinner the boys gobbled up a tofu on brown rice dinner that Ryan prepared which was very tasty. Ronan has been very picky with food lately, so it was great now that we have gone to our strict vegetarian/vegan diet, that he has had his appetite back. Maddox followed up his dinner by rubbing it in his face and hair. How lovely.

Ronan Enjoys playing educational games on the computer. He is really good at this matching card game!

The boys were watching a movie on the laptop while I braided Ronan’s long locks. He got three french braids.

Long day. Church then Ryan took the boys while I worked at a photoshoot, and then we went to the mall. Boys came home after dinner all ready for bed.

And before bed, two pics of the boys dirty and tired after a long day.

We went swimming on the rooftop of Phillip and Claire’s appartment in Honolulu. Maddox had fun swimming with Claire.
He was far braver than I remember Ronan ever being in the water at his age. He had no problems with getting in the pool all by himself and wanted to swim on his own.
He only wanted to get out when he got too tired and too cold to stay in any further.
Maddox would have had an even better time if he had been able to swim all on his own without help.
He had a blast being dunked under the water and did well swimming with his arms and kicking his legs.
Ronan was content with just sitting on the steps, though at least he got in the pool.
Though he didnt ‘swim’ and wouldnt let me hold him, he had fun with Phillip.

The mice live in our fish tank with lots of fun things to keep them busy.

Both the boys love the mice. Ronan loves giving them silly faces.

All boys, the two mice by the names of ‘Remy’ and ‘Lightning’ play a game of chase.

The white and light brown mouse was named ‘Dumpling’ by Ronan because apparently he looked like a dumpling.

‘Lightning’ scales the mountain top. Ronan thinks his spot looks like a bolt, just like McQueen.

Maddox was quite tired after lunch, and fell asleep in his chair.
