End of summer, early fall picture recap


We live in a wild and crazy world of boys.. there is never a dull moment.  Most of you know we are in a rental house right now while we build, so the kids dont' have all their toys and they go a bit stir crazy in this place, the fighting is pretty crazy and annoying.. but i have some pictures of the good times of distraction where they forget about fighting and just are their fun cute selves, i love those times!!

FAV Snack:  POPSICLE!!  yum, he would eat and eat these if i would let him.  He is obsessed with Blue, he calls everything blue, and this was this summer when i held up some popsicles and he pointed right at the blue and said BLUE, peeeaaze.   how could i resist?

this was another big moment, Griff loves to be a big boy, he insists on being a big boy in a big chair, not his high chair which proves to be quite messy for mommy!

date night with my Nolie.  I felt like he really needed some mommy time one on one.  We went to a movie and it was fun :)

first time 
trying cereal w/ milk..YUMM


he loves goggles, he cracks us all up

This was Griffin's fav book for months, 'brown bear" we read it no less than a 500x, i was so happy when he carried it off to read to himself, then i looked over to see bryson reading it to Griffin and it was absolutely presh!  of course mr shy bry jumped up as soon as he saw the camera, nolan on the other hand gave me a big happy smile :)

Family Fun Fest for the Catholic school, the boys LOVED the snow cones, it was really hot , and the bees really enjoyed the sugar topping at the table they were serving it at :(

bryson enjoyed the basketball bouncy game, he was really good at it...


Bryson has really enjoyed soccer this season, he is on Leo's Pizza team, red, they named themselves the "rockets"  they have had an awesome season, undefeated, and not only that they have pretty much beat every team by at least 5, usually 10 goals.    This pic is of him and his good buddy Troy, they had their first sleepover after this game and had a wonderful time- see below

looks like they did a bit of everything and bryson really didn't want to come home.  :(   I'm just glad he had such a great time, I hope he was good!!  :)
we've had a fun time playing with Nolan's birthday gifts, this was quite a hit with Griffin.  he thinks it's for him to ride in :)  This will be great for when we move


they took turns a bit, but mostly fought over it
this is what happens when i make him sit in his highchair and he wants to be a big boy,   he thought this was quite hilarious, it kinda gave me flashbacks to 'carrie' and the slimey looking pig's blood, ick.  that was fun to clean up
Griffin loves boxes, and bryson had a great time  pushing him around, listening to the giggles was so fun.  then bryson decided to destroy the box, not really sure why.  they love to destroy stuff.  especially after i spend hours cleaning...

Below get ready for a bunch of Griffy pics.. he is such a ham.. i love this kid


Bryson brought home an apple from a kid from school..Griffin decided to eat it, he quite enjoyed it, little silly boy
griffin loves my hair bands, i looked over one night and found him like this and he found it so funny and i just busted up laughing, such a goof!

Speaking of love.. this kids loves balls... and has started noticing daddy watch sports.. he enjoys some cardinal baseball



BALL!!!

he LOVES watching football the most.. he sat here for a long time and would squeal and clap and  yell HIGH, HIGH, it HIGH, when they would kick off or throw it long down the field, he would get pretty mad every time a commerical would come on...he'd say UH OH, UH OH mommy..ovrer and over and then the game would finally come back and he'd say YAAAAY and clap all excited.  so super cute!

Griffin has an obession with my phone, loves seeing pics of himself and he really loves to call his Auntie Nini to FaceTime.  It's hilarious, he barely talks but he gets really excited and refuses to let anyone take the phone away from him, a few times he has been confused thinking it was me when he saw her.  this kid is just too fun


quite the tent maker
speaking of beat up..  bryson and nolan have been fighting like CRAZY lately, im worried for winter, thankfully we are going to be in our new house with more space and more toys back, so hopefully bryson throwing a book from across the room and hitting his brother square on the side of the eye and it instantly swelling up won't happen again.  what are the odds he had that good of aim, glad it wasn't worse, but man, that was just ridiculous he did that to his brother!!  :(  i'm really in for it in the next few years.
another fun activity around here is tents.. tents tents.. bryson gets pretty annoyed with his cute destructive brother because Griff loves to join in the fun but destroys the tents in the process...he just doesn't understand, but he better learn quick before he gets beat up!
 Nolan and mommy needed some 'QT' alone, this is us being goof balls, he got to pick dinner, and of course picked McD's, and he loves honey, as you can see in the bottom 2 pics he is eating the honey by itself.  silly.


Park Time.  It's cold out so he's sporting some SIUE wear, love it

this is a strong boy, he loves to hang

monkey boy, he's an old pro at the monkey bars

he was in the mood to be photographed for the first time in months, he kept asking me to take pics and video him.. 
We've been to ALOT of movies the last couple months..  it's our mommy and kid time, no Griff.  We've enjoyed it!!  :)  Nolan is my movie lover.  :)  Bryson likes them but i am 100% sure he really likes going for the snacks...that kid is a sugar aholic!
