A new form of yoga

Outside

It was. 81 & sunny for a few minutes today.  We ( except Carter) put shorts on & spent time outside.  15 minutes later the sun was gone, it cooled off & thunder/ lightning were in the distance.  Ah well...we'll get em tomorrow!  Before we scampered from the rain inside, I snapped a few pics:

Carter tried out roller skating & enjoyed it.

And this pic was snapped right before he fell.  Hilarious shot ( he was fine ; no tears):

Ryan tried the skateboard.  Bad idea when he moved an inch.... You live, you learn. :/. I do want to point out that while Ryan's fall had everything to do with the brother behind him.... In fact, it did not.  Carter did not push him at all.  I mean, don't get me wrong, he clearly had every intention....but I stopped that thankfully before he caused it.  Then I walked away...how on earth did I think he was going to get down?  I guess here, I live I learn.

Let's move on to trying his 'new to him' scooter.  You see him screaming?  That is thanks to that same brother that is sitting back on his heels looking like he had absolutely nothing to do with that screaming.

Finally Ryan decided to take wagon full of chalk for a walk.  So gosh darn cute.

My Ryan

A messy, dirty little boy with crazy hair & scuffed shoes; have chalk in wagon....will travel.  It may be my new favorite picture of him.

Chocolate chip cookie

How do you eat yours?  Do you dip your fingers into each chocolate chip & lick your fingers?  Perhaps if they were freshly made you do....

Logan can tie his own shoe!!

Logan had tried tying his own shoe a couple months ago & was getting close...so we took a break. He just came to me asking to try again.  He said 'It's time to get learnin!'

I showed him once & bam - he got it!!!

One proud kiddo (& parents)

Monkey/Daredevil

He has done this many a time, but today he added jumping down from this height.  

A boy & his guitars

I love that I found him laying inbetween the 2 guitars plucking one , then the other. So cute!

Silly Selfie time!

Ah, the work of a toddler...

The boys the iPad

Cinco de Miler

John ran a 5-mile race with 2 of his running friends, Drew & Tami.  Naturally, his fan club tagged along.

Ryan wrestling a bit with Carter while we waited.  This was after they both played in the dirt a bit. :)

Waiting for them to run by!

Ryan found it humorous to see himself in the phone doing a selfie.  This kept him happy.  And trust me....he wasn't the happiest fan club member most of this race.

The kids were invited in their after picture.

Then they were kicked out. ;)

And then we got some of the swag: churros with chocolate dip (& tostitos with salsa).  Ryan was naturally good during this part of the race. = )

Then he said forget the churro, I will just dip my fingers in the chocolate. What a messy cute kid!

Homemade Rocket Blaster!

KWe had to get a new hot water heater today....<sigh>....with that came a big box which was a train....but what was most creative was the bottom of the box. & foam rollers to protect some tubes.  Logan made this for Carter:

Love the creativity !

We found a worm in our home!!!

And I am thrilled to pieces that was said by the boys about a worm being on our backyard patio & not actually 'in' our home. I do love that they then all spent the next 10 minutes digging a hole for it. & watching it move. =)

Morning brother bonding

They all woke up at the exact same time (6:30).  In an effort to catch a few more zzzz's, we told them to grab the iPad.  I also had some graham crackers in my nightstand to help tie them over. 

Ryan...Just hanging around

Just hanging out in the bathroom, putting on Chapstick....

Sharing the Chapstick love...

He is very into 'ah-panes' (airplanes) lately....I caught him zooming them thru the air, making noises.  So cute!

And then the little cutie fell asleep on me.

Not that it needs zooming....but what an angelic face & MAN those eyelashes!!!!
