Boys and their toys




Mike was dropping off one of the young men after an activity, and his family was having a garage sale. They have two boys who are now significantly older than our boys, so they gave a bunch of stuff to Mike. The one thing Mike was most excited about was a monster tricycle. It has HUGE tires and is sturdy enough that Mike can ride it with Brayden--and he does! Brayden has to swivel his hips a little bit so that he can reach the pedals, but he does a really good job of pedaling. He fell a little bit, but he's pretty good at catching himself. So all in all it is a good toy. Brayden is quite agile. He is also getting pretty good at climbing the poles in our basement. It's really quite amazing. Caleb is working on his skills as well. All in one week he has mastered crawling, pulling up, babbling, etc. He's figured out how to turn the TV on and off and accidentally turns movies on and off. He's really starting to explore everything. One of the funniest things (I think) that he does is when he wants us, usually Brayden, he calls "Ah. Ah." He usually does it when I'm trying to put him down for a nap. He calls for Brayden and then Brayden comes in and gets Caleb laughing hysterically. I'm sure it does wonders to calm Caleb down right before going to sleep. Cute boys. Including Mike.

Ha Ha! I love the pics and that is one monster bike! I am so jealous it looks so beautiful and green there; meanwhile we are locking ourselves in doors to avoid the sweltering heat. I am nervous about Madelyn crawling, she is up on all fours already and I know it won't be long. Avery isn't going to like it much when Madelyn is mobile that's for sure. Avery is our bruiser. Watch out!

How fun. Caleb is so cute. He is getting so big. I love Brayden on that bike. It's such a tough looking bike. You look so cute too. I think you have the cutest clothes! I will have to shopping with you sometime.

too cute. Kaylee keeps asking for a bike with pedals like her friends have. We keep telling her she just has to pee ONE time on the potty and then she can have one...we have a stubborn child. You looks so cute. I love your hair. Talk to you soon.

Natalie, you look so cute and hip! I am turning into such a homely mom these days. I really miss you guys and am sad I am missing our on all the parties and girl get togethers. I keep telling my friend Julie how excited I am for her to go out there. She is probably getting sick of it.
