Hanging out at Grandma's

We've had a lot of fun this summer hanging out at my mom's house. The kids can get wet on the trampoline, there is plenty of yard to run around and explore, plus there is always a cousin or two to play with.


Jeremy playing swords.

Mckell looks like her hands are full.

Christopher loves the tramp. He bounces himself and giggles, as long as the big kids aren't jumping too hard that is.

Jeremy loves the tramp for other reasons, to get wet!!!

He's such a big boy!! He likes to do things for himself now too. No help needed, mom.

Christopher has found his love of animals, but especially Grandma's kitty. Watch out, he gives her BIG kisses.

Our Chocolate Pudding Artist

So, I decided it would be fun to give Christopher some chocolate pudding and see what he would do with it. It was hilarious. He was hesitant at first, lokking at me for permission I guess. Then, he just dove in. I don't think he ate much. It mostly became his masterpiece. Of course, I took his clothes off before we started.

I think he had fun, don't you?

Easter. . . a little later

We had Easter at my mom's house. McKell, Cami, and I hid all the eggs and candy. The kids had so much fun finding them. There are a lot of trees, ditches, weeds, flowers, etc to use as hiding places.

Jeremy's a good little runner, he covered the grounds quickly.

I got him to back track a lot though, to get what he missed speeding by.

Christopher wasn't sure what to do with all the shiny things in the grass. He picked up a couple of them.

He tried to eat them, as he does with everything.

I think he was done after one or two. This one he like the best because it had the coins in it, which sounded fun!

Overall, we had lots of fun. And came home with way too much candy. :)

So are the Halls of my life!!

Jeremy has been sporting this Mohawk hairstyle for a little while now. I'm waiting to see when it will end. He's always wanted a buzzed short cut. Until this year, when he started school, he realized what else was out there. Now, it's all about what his friends are doing and how their hair is. So, when it was time to cut hair he asked for a mohawk. I said yes, thinking he'd try it out and change him mind eventually. Well, here I am still waiting. Then the other day he says, 'Mom, why won't my hair stick straight up like so and so'? I told him he needed hair gel to get that effect. So, now he have hair gel and mohawks. Life is great.

This is how Christopher entertains hisself while Jeremy and I clean their room. My little pianist.

This is playing on the floor, all alone and undisturbed.

Jeremy comes along to play and . . . . .

Voila!!!! Well, at least it's out of love when Jeremy "helps" Christopher.

Afternoon at the Park

The sun was shining, not much wind, we had to take advantage of this day.


What's an outing without snacks? Do you wonder why he's so 'round'? Don't.


Down the slide. Big brother helper.


Uncle Andy home for Spring Break. Isn't this picture great? My favorite of the day.

Great, I'm going to have two monkey children.

We had such a fun day. Smiles all around!

I had to include this one. For you who know Jeremy, this is so typical. I don't know exactly what face he was told to pull, but here you go.

Water Lover

Christopher loves the bath tub. He would play all day in there if I let him. It's funny. He plays and splashes, not noticing the water gets colder. Then, all of a sudden, he does this very dramatic shiver, looks at me, and begs with his eyes. Whether he's begging to get out or for more water, I'm not sure.

So much fun!!!

Nakey time is the Best!!!

Aww, it's time to get out!!

Christopher's new trick!

Christopher started clapping the other day, especially when he drops a toy from his highchair. He'll look at me and smile and clap. Yes he is adorable.

This is before, while playing.

This is after he dropped it. Now he's clapping.
