Skateboarding

Colt took out the skateboardin gear and wanted to practice his skills.  It's so cute.  He is growing up and becoming such a big boy. 

Ollie wanted to help him out. 

Tansley's Cabin

Last weekend we went to the Tansley's cabin.  They are such great hosts and the boys had a great time.  

Brody, Colt, Ollie and I all slept on this bed.  Needless to say I didn't have the best night of sleep but I did wake up feeling rested.  I was also able to take a nap later in the day.

We went for a walk around town.  Ollie rode on the bike with Lily.

We stopped at the park.

The boys with their buddy, Wilf.

One of the big reasons Brad wanted to go was so that he could ride these bikes with Marvin.  Brad had a blast and the boys really wanted to go with him. 

We had a relaxing time with the Tansleys and hope we can find another weekend to visit.

Ollie's crib trick

This kid is a riot.  He is constantly cracking us up with his antics. I just wish everyone could experience these fun little interactions with him.  Here is just one of his latest things. 

I was getting him up from his nap and he started falling over.  He thought it was the funniest thing.

I just love this little guy and this stage of learning. 

Fire Station

Our local fire station had an open house so I took the boys to visit.  

The boys always love seeing fire trucks and they had a great time. (Although it wasn't nearly as good as our personal tour we have had with our friend Mark)

They had fire hats and snacks for the visitors.

Monster Machine

A few weekends ago Brad took all three boys to the Home Depot workshop.  I was impressed that he was able to have all three with him since Ollie does not like to sit still.   This last weekend I took the boys the Lowe's workshop.  (I am used to having all 3 boys but I also avoid situations such as this where I know it is hard to keep Ollie entertained).  

Ollie was impatient at first but I used the blocks from Brody & Colt's kit to entertain him....and it worked!

Clifford

They had Clifford week at Brody's preschool.  He was so excited to come home with his Clifford ears.

4 years & 1 year

Back in May I had Brody's 4 year pictures and Ollie's 1 year pictures taken.  I finally had them printed up. 

Here are a few from the photo shoot.

This is going to be the cover of their album.

Annika was with us so we had a few silly face pictures of these two.
