Random Moments

Had a little helper while cutting green beans...little helper turned into little muncher!

Bill turns 28!!! This is a classic 'Bill' face :)

Celebrated with the family-Steaks and a bunt cake. Then an impromptu who-is-the-best-at-this game started and went on for quite a while! Who can balance their whole body on an exercise ball the longest? Who can jump the farthest? Who can stand on one foot the longest? Who can hold the plank position longest? Who's the best at darts? Which of the little ones can run the fastest on the treadmill? Who can speed-jump rope the fastest? Geesh-I didn't realize how competitive we all were!

Oh life's predicaments....heard some frantic screaming from Raylan's room one evening and ran in there to find this. 

Getting your ankle stuck in the long brush we use to clean the fan blades with, don't you just hate that?!?

Time for yearly wellness check ups!

Sawyer was healthy as a horse! (45 lbs.)

Raylan was healthy as a beast! (26 lbs)

Both got poked, measured, pressured, weighed and finished it off with a nice shot at the end :)

Sawyer's class had PJ day at school last week! They all got to wear jammies, bring stuffed animals and curl up to read all day. 

Now that's the life!!!

TEEEEEF!!!

Raylan's favorite activity these days: Brushing his Teeeeef. We catch him all the time in there 'brushing' away. It's more like squirting an unnecessarily large amount of tooth paste on his tooth brush, getting it wet and then sucking it off, getting it wet again, tapping it on the edge of the sink really loudly and then clapping for himself for a job well done.   

Taking care of his pearly whites!

Baking some banana bread with our roommate, Cheyenne. 

One of the things I love most about the stage that Sawyer is in right now is listening to him read! He picked up a book the other afternoon and read it to the Day Care kids as if he'd been doing it all his life. You can tell he was mimicking Mrs. Pederson because there would be a 'Keep your hands to your self.' reminder every once in a while. He followed p the story with questions about the plot and the characters :)

I know that at some point, all kids learn how to read. But when it's YOUR kid, it's amazing.

The other thing I'm loving right now: Watching the brotherly relationship unfold. Sawyer has always been very good with Raylan since there is such a large age gap between them, but recently they have started to really enjoy playing together and being really silly. They wrap each other up in blankets and drag each other around the house...pillow fight...tickle each other until one of them ends up in tears...ya' know, the usual stuff! :)
