Catching Bugs with the Boys
So, the boys and I went out to the Snake River west of Rexburg yesterday to catch bugs. It was just about like I expected, Kevin was slightly bored, Ethan threw a few fits, and Jacob was mostly happy to be there, but he didn't like sharing the butterfly net. We did manage to have a little fun, in spite of only catching a few white butterflies and a couple of grasshoppers. Ethan soon grew tired of catching bugs and talked me out of the digital camera for a bit. He managed to get a few decent photographs and I remembered to set the camera to auto-focus.

The next three photographs were taken by Ethan
I noticed a few mosquitoes around, but didn't think much of it. Ethan and Jacob must have gotten a couple of good bites. This morning both of their left ears were swollen and pretty funny looking.

If any of you long time readers are having deja vu, it's because a similar thing happened to Jacob when I was watching the boys about a year ago. I posted it to my blog last August. Go here and scroll down to find the post. If you don't feel like doing that, then here's the picture I posted last year.

Man, that is a young Jacob. Ethan did a good job with those pictures. Cute boys.
I know I shouldn't be laughing but those "ear" photos were the best!! In fact, they're all pretty good, especially the one of the three boys. Such a good dad you are!!
You are getting to spend a lot of quality father son time lately. When do you start school again? I love the picture Ethan took of Jake. That's precious!
If a geneologst/historian looks at those photos in 50 years, he's going to wonder what genetic defect your family had to end up with the 'left enlarged ear syndrome'.
THE SWEETEST BLOOD ONLY FLOWS IN THE EARS
I love this blog entry! It's one my biggest faults: when my kids get hurt or have an ailment my first reaction is always to laugh!! Those ears are hysterical and the old picture of Jacob vs. the new picture is crazy! Is that even the same child? Time flies!!
Those bugs must be especially fond of the left ear! I love Ethan's photos, especially the one of Jake!
