Grayson

Well, the latest on Grayson is that he has walked between mom and dad a few times one day but has refused to do so since. He must like being carried everywhere and fears that if he shows that he can walk that he will be required to do so. He likes to pretend that he is talking on the phone.

Grant's first day of preschool

Grant started preschool last week and seems to enjoy it. Now if we could just figure out a way to slow down the energizer bunny at hyper speed all would be well.

Riley's first day of school

Well, this picture is a little old but better late than never right? Riley has been enjoying school but not his home work as it takes quite a bit of nagging by mom and dad for him to get it done. It takes longer to get him to do it than it takes for him to do it. He must enjoy the nagging I guess

Boys Playing Around

Rick took this picture of the boys playing together on the floor,though it looks like Grayson is trying to get away.

Riley's Kindergarden Graduation

Here are some pictures of Riley's kindergarten graduation. We had a good time, even though we couldn't hear very well. They had the classes sing some songs and then they had a slide show. They then divided up into the classes to hand out their diploma's. We are proud of all the hard work he did this year.

The English Language?

Riley's favorite word right now is "Actudently." He is combining actually and accidently. He uses it in every other sentence, no matter how much we tell him it is not a real word.

Underground Storage?

Grant came out of his room the other day, after getting dressedand this is the conversation that followed.
Mom: "Your pants are getting short. We're going to have to dig some new ones out for you."
Grant: " Mom, Why did you put my pants in the dirt?"
Mom laughed for about 5 minutes, before trying to explain to him what she meant.

Getting Ready for Planting

Here's Rick (and his supervisors) getting the garden ready to plant. It was badly overgrown, since we didn't plant last year. It dosen't look pretty, but we did get it planted.

Three Little Monkeys

Standing Tall

Grayson figured out how to pull himself up at the couch the other day. He was so proud of himself. Now he does it all the time, and just stands there smiling and laughing. So Happy! Now we have to be careful what we leave on the couch and the table, since he is pulling everything onto the floor.

It's quiet, what are the boys doing?

The boys were playing outstide and seemed to be having a fun time sitting on the gravel pile. I decided to sneek out and take a picture of them and Grant revealed, Riley hid it for as long as possible, that they were having great fun with a permanent marker. I soon found out that big garage doors and trucks are a great canvas for young artists. I guess their sidewalk chalk just didn't cut it anymore.

Meal time

Grayson really enjoys his meals, but he is easily distracted by his fellow siblings.

Bath time

Here is Grayson enjoying a bath

The boys have dug a hole in the garden and have a great time filling it full of water anytime they can get away with it.

Day at the Zoo

Having fun at Disneyland!

This is the only picture with both Rick and I in it . We were on the Finding Nemo ride.

This was the only picture we had with a character. Riley was afraid to stand by Pluto.
