Scrub a Dub Dub

Scrubbin' two boys at the same time can sometimes be a challenge, but most of the time it is so much fun to watch them interact! Lately, Sayer likes to help wash Greyson! Too funny...

Finding the Pigs...

To me there aren't many things cuter than when a baby discovers his "pigs"! Greyson has recently found his "pigs" and he loves to have them in his mouth. So cute!

A few shots from my new camera...

I purchased a new camera last week and here are just a few shots from the weekend. I know that I have a ton to learn, but I am looking so forward to it!!

5 Months

Big boy fell asleep in the bean bag!

At 5 months Greyson is:

• laughing out loud
• very ticklish all over (much like his Daddy)
• rolling over from back to stomach and stomach to back
• eating rice cereal in a bottle (he's not much of a fan with the spoon yet)
• loves to suck on his bare tootsies
• grasping at objects
• teething / drooling non-stop

Happy Halloween

Halloween 2010 was so much fun!!

Sayer and I spent some time putting his Elmo pumpkin together and when it was done he was very impressed with it. He didn't like that we had to set it outdoors, however. We decided not to carve a pumpkin this year, but that's something that we will definitely have to do next year.

That evening we had our family and lots of friends over for dinner and trick-or-treating. Greyson and Stone hung out inside and helped pass out candy while Ava, Sayer and Slayton went trick-or-treating.
Watching these three kiddos trick-or-treat in their costumes was so much fun. Here are a few shots in front of the house before we took off. The boys were very excited about the candy that was in their bags. Sayer couldn't wait to break into a chocolate bar, so of course I let him! It was Halloween!

They all loaded in the wagon and I pulled them from house to house. Since there were only two seats in the wagon they took turns sitting on each others laps. What good sports they were!

At almost every house Slayton would knock on the door, then turn around and head back towards to wagon before he got his candy. Sayer and Ava would stand back, but as soon as the door would open Sayer would dart inside and make himself comfortable (either on the floor in front of the candy or looking around). I had to run in and grab him from a few houses! Even though we had practiced saying Trick-or-Treat all day, I don't think that I heard Sayer say it once. Maybe next year!

Here's a picture of Sayer eating his last candy bar of the night. He had no candy left in his bag by the time we got home. After every house he wanted to eat the treat that he was given. I was in such a festive spirit that I went ahead and let him. He was wound up the rest of the night. I don't think that I'll let him do that next year.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Surprising Uncle J!!

Last Friday Jason was in Springfield for a Jason Aldeen show so Mike and I thought that it would be a great idea to surprise him with a visit from his nephews! He had absolutely no idea that we were tagging along with Mom and Aunt Karen, so the surprise was perfect!

Upon arriving in Springfield we parked in a lot across from the arena and the buses and Mike and I hid behind our car with Sayer in hand. When Jason and Mom came walking through the parking lot to pick up Aunt Karen we sent Sayer running for his Uncle J! Jason was shocked! Sayer jumped right into his arms and was yelling Jaton, Jaton... my heart overflowed with joy!!

We headed to Lambert's for lunch and some "throwed" rolls!

and catching his very first "throwed roll"

Jason didn't have a lot of prep for this tour, so he was able to spend all afternoon with us. We went back to the hotel so the kids could take a nap and we could visit without interruption.

That evening before the show we headed back to the arena so he could show us around the set. Sayer got on stage with Uncle J and LOVED it there. He danced during soundcheck and really enjoyed watching them set up the drums. Getting him off of the stage was not a pleasant experience... he didn't want to come down.

rockin' the SMS rims

Mike and I didn't stay for the concert, so we took the boys to the Bass Pro Shop. Sayer wasn't quite sure what to think of the stuffed boars that were on display.

here are several videos from throughout the day...
