Random stuff from the last week

It was hot, reallly hot yesterday, so i decided they boys deserved some DQ.. and Griff is a begger, and beggers know who the 'suckers are that will feed them..
Nolan is laughing, mommy.. im feeding him,  he says.." I'm just like a mommy" followed by his super cute chuckle. this kid, u can't help but love him. he saw jeff got me a big blizzard he says, when i'm a daddy, i get to get a big one, like an x-large, I'll be able to touch the ceiling when I'm a daddy.  I want to be a daddy"   lol.    he's pretty obsessed with asking about mommy's and daddy's..and the parts lately, he always asks me about the parts and how babies are in bellies, it's an interesting topic, i know.   yesterday we are watching a movie he says, "are you a girl mom?" i say yep, all mommy's are girls, he says " so do you have a penis?"  I say no, he asks why not, i say because girls have boobies to feed their babyies and boys have penis's", " so why do boys have penis's he asks?  i say, just because, god made them like that, they make babies, that's all.  then he says "my daddy's a boy, he has a penis, it's a big one. "  I say, that's good, i'm sure he'll be glad you think that, now let's just watch our movie!!  AHH!!


this is a cute onery face just before chaos begins, he loves the boys beds--jumping wrestling, fighting, not much good comes from this time of night, just look at the floor, movies and toys everywhere.

 this was the fun for last night, bryson would hide them, notice his socks hanging out,  and they would peek out and try to 'scare 'me, it was quite cute, and it had no fighting or jumping involved so I encouraged it for as long as I could.


**Please Note: the pictures you are about to see are at the insistence of the 3 year old pictured, his mother and father, strongly DIScouraged the wardrobe and made every effort to change his mind, that doesn't happen with a red-headed middle child often.  He made this choice, and was very happy with it. 
he very strongly insisted that he had to wear a sweatshirt today, on probably the top 3 hottest days of the summer yet. i didn't have it in me to fight this, i tried my normal psychology tactics, he had a strong defense up today and it was his way or the highway, i conceded quickly, some battles are NOT worth entereing.  (Nolan: 1, Mommy: 0.)  fail :(


My one positive this morning, Bryson FINALLY decided he would try out a sleeveless shirt today!  Thank goodness because i bought him several this year, and he had a few from last year, but he made a huge deal out of hating them up until today, i was SO happy, and i think after he realizes today just how nice the air in your armpits is, he will become the believe that I am in sleeveless shirts.  Win Win for both of us.. :) 

2 words: ANIMAL LOVER.  This kid loves animals.  PERIOD.  Case and point-  look at this ginormous fat cat (strat), we went to a friends house last week, this was the neighbor girls cat and he  followed this thing around all night, he couldn't really lift it great, but Strat was happy to lay back and be scratched most of the time, he did get spooked a few times and sorta ran under a car, nolan patiently waited on him near the car and got more pets in when he could. It was rather comical honestly.   It's so cute to see his love for animals, but now it means i know i really need to consider getting him one, Some day.  Not today, not this year, I say maybe when he can clean the 'protein spills & AFR's' (disney terms: protein spill=pee, AFR=accidental fecal release), i have to many people to clean up after right now.  like i said, some day.

R. U. Ready for Cute??  
BAM!  That's cute, this is my desperate attempt of handing him anything and everything on our 3.5 hr car trip home to see my dad and step mom...  this was so cute it almost made up for his horrid crying and tantrum toy throws for half the trip!  ahh!  almost, but definitely not, he is not a fun road tripper :(    (Griffin: 1, Mommy: 0)

4TH FAMILY FUN & FIREWORKS


STOP RIGHT THERE!   This is where the fun starts
Bryson and Cole in there Good Cop/Bad Cop pose, these 2 are something else. These 2 officers had a fun time bringing people beers and bryson liked opening them too, funny how the little things are fun to kids!!    They were doing all sorts of stuff swimming, diving for anything they could sink, stunts, pool ball, shark, they loved playing with the big basketball hoop with Jo Joe too.  I wish they lived closer they really are 2 peas in a pod and i dont' think they fought once, which is so nice! 

The gurrrls, Avers is the STAR, little diva we like to call her :) she is quite the poser and looks presh in her 'swim boobs' aka, swimsuit.  this girl cracks me up..  i about died when she called them her swim boobs she is just a ray of sunshine -especially for her auntie who only has boys, she is so awesome, so glad god brought her in our lives!!

nicki started showing us stunts she does with cole and mom was feeling nostalgic -stunting and bringing us back to her grade school cheerleading days..  once nolan finally realized how to stand up on shoulders, he really liked it, all the boys love to do stunts and especially be thrown in the pool

silly kids, and also, how about those fliers, awful cute- cole is definately the best and most coordinated in the stunting department, and he also gets some practice with his momma ;)

stick 'em up....gotta be ready for anything, because 2 guns aren't enough, you need 2 more to pull down your pants and the toothless grin is very intimidating :)  this kid would live in the pool with Cole if u'd let him




speaking of loving the water, oh my word, griff had a blast, he would just sign more more and keep jumping in, he is quite the cute lil chunky fish!  I had to make it up to him for leaving him in the pack in play a little extra a nap time so I could enjoy the sun a bit, he was not happy with me but he forgave me quick!!


Uncle Jo Joe and Bryson, having fun in the pool.  all the kids love Jo Jo..

Nolie and Jo Joe, he enjoyed being launched to the sky
which one is which?  we rarely get pictures taken, so it's kinda fun we finally got one together!! 

he LOVES goggles!
me and my only daughter, hey, she has my dna, I just didn't carry her!  I can still claim her :)
auntie, avers and nana
me and the hubs, we need some more sun.. :)
Papa Brad and Bry playing some B-ball..
mommy and avers, so sweet
i so luv this pic of all the kids, they crack me up, especially griff! this is one wild group, and they had a blast swimming all day


this was the first attempt, griff looks mad so does cole-train, mom photo bombed :)


WILD maniac.. he loves the water, but peed about a million times in the rocks.. loved having daddy, joe, corey and papa to throw him and play with him..he would come up to me and say.. are you my mommy?  he gets a little confused between nini and mommy- can't understand why?  ;)


CHEESE!  how do u like my outfit?  i'm ready for some fireworks!!
mini maniac....loves the pool, easier not to even use swim trunks for this one :)  he didn't care for the life jacket he had so we tried this puddle jumper, still wasn't his favorite, but he  got over it!
BUNNY!!  soft sweet bunny, it was the neighbors tame pet!
dad & nolie
dad & Bry
FIREWORK time!!  lets watch some cool fireworks, they were from all sides, then they took a nighttime dip, they loved the cool fireworks and they slept awesome which was even better!
shocker, someone's in undies. 
this guy made it up late, i put his jammies on after this and he 'ooohed' and pointed at some pretty fireworks and in no time was fast asleep in my lap, i won't lie, i enjoyed the cuddles!!
nana, papa and the kiddos..minus Griff, he wasn't having it.  this is a lap full!  :)


 Thanks Nini and Corey for having us for the 4th, it was a great time, and i hope Nolan didn't kill any of your plants with how much he peed outside...and glad you have nice neighbors too :)      We always have fun over at Nini's I wish she wasn't so far!!
