On Mother's Day, it's fair to say that these boys love their mom very much.
And there she is...the best Mom.
This guy.
With all the nice spring weather (crazy huh?) we've had there has been plenty of time for playing outside and going on bike rides. Ok, so we've only taken two bike rides.
While coming up with something delightful to say about our new sand table this conversation just took place....
The Water Boy. Obviously I am just starting because my shirt appears to be dry.
As you may have read below we all got sick. Just when we all got better, my babysitter got sick so I got to spend a day with Dad.
Sand is pretty much the greatest thing to play with and surprisingly cheap. I think we should just turn the whole yard into a beach.
Me, sick.
Me, sick.
Sink or float is sweeping the nation. On this night, everything floated.
The Boy Scouts of America learned a hard lesson this past weekend. Turns out when you reserve a campsite, you've got to actually put your money down. Apparently, "Plan B" was to camp very near our back yard. And by very near, we mean there may very well have been a tent stake across the line.
Know what happens when you get sick on your birthday? You get two parties. It's been a little bit hectic around here lately, what with all the puking, but we finally got it all together...and I got to celebrate two weekends in a row.
This was my cake. I'm a hammer and screwdriver man so those are my favorite parts. For your reference, I did not really eat any.
For party #2, this was the posse.
If we learned anything it was that Grady should probably not grow facial hair and dye it these colors. Oh wait, that's cake.
Party #1 was also a smashing success, except for I made at least half the people there sick. Word is that Grandma Cheri did not get sick though, which is good. Dad, however, may never recover (he's kind of pathetic).
Mom and Dad gave me this on my birthday, which now seems like ages ago. That, incidentally, was the last time I touched this.
Today I am as old as I've ever been, which is 1. Because it is my birthday. Mom, Dad and Grady all got me presents and I had a party at my babysitter. Of course, everyday is a party with me. See you Saturday if you're coming to my official bash.
Us boys want to wish everybody a happy Easter. We had a super fun day and hope you did too.
There is no better way to wake up than to go down stairs to see presents. The Easter Bunny really came through for us this year.
See those crumbs there? I loved my snack bar treats so much that I tried to eat every single one of those crumbs.
For most people, you look at this picture and say..."wow, what great looking green grass"...you are absolutely right. Dad is magical with the yard.
No, we weren't playing twister. But I probably would love that game.
On Saturday Dad had to go work for a while so the rest of us colored Easter Eggs.
Give me enough time and I will figure out a way to get those eggs onto this high chair.
Please, don't be embarrassed by my muscles. This is just my preferred egg-dying uniform. Hey, what's that in Colin's hand? Oh, weird, a hammer.
Shhhhhhh, don't tell anybody, but we had 3 updates today!
Somebody's turning 1 soon! Yesterday we headed to the park to scout out a party location.
When we got there I immediately needed to fuel up. You just never know when you might run into a tiger in the jungle.
Adventure is my middle name.
Come to my party and you too could climb on this ladder.
Mommy got to thinking she doesn't have many pictures of her with her boys. This one turned out pretty good.
How embarrassing for Grady that he wore the same jacket that I did.
Oh yeah, Grady loves the park too.
One cool thing about the park we're looking at having the party is that there is a nice little nature path right next to it.
Grady found a stick. Actually he found about 3,467 sticks.
