The Little Scheewe Christmas Morning

So, i bet you all think it's crazy at our house Christmas morning. . . why shouldn't it be every other morning is. . . just stay tuned and you can see the madness for yourselves . . .OK, it really wasn't mad but it was fun-it was so much fun to watch the boys-each discovery was so exciting-they like everything-i realize all Christmases will probably not be that easy so I will just enjoy it while it lasts.

Do You Know How to EAT a Gingerbread House?

Well, our boys do & thanks to Annie they had a chance to showcase their skills. Just thought everyone would enjoy these pictures.

Mom's letting me eat the whole house, Mom is letting me eat the whole house!!!! Quick, hurry before she changes her mind . . . I can't believe she's letting me eat the WHOLE HOUSE!!!!!!

Contemplating the next bite. . .hmm, roof or wall????

Going in for the kill-let's just say they went "whole hog" and loved every minute of it. They literally ate the whole thing. The crumbs that were left were devoured in minutes. For those of you who don't know-Annie makes the BEST gingerbread, the BEST!

OH, the JOY!

"I think I ate too much gingerbread house."
But we all know they both LOVED every minute of it! (& Aunt Becca, too)

Goofin' Off -one of things we do best

Get off, get off! I can't breathe.

So, Dad, you think you're funny do ya?

Well, you are!

And, so am I.

Gingerbread Houses @ GPI

I'm being good-I promise, Mom

This is Grant's friend Chloe-isn't she adorable

This was snack time-he's watching you. . .

But he'll also share-we had muddy buddies. I was amazed at how willing Grant was to share-a pleasant surprise.

It was FREEZING & the boys were ready to head home-w/ their Arrrrgggg & Grrrrr faces.

Ride 'em Cowboys!

You only think you know what you see :).

"Hey, look I'M WINNING!!!!," says Jared

it's all fun and games til someone pokes their eye out. . . :)

Jared's BIRTHDAY he's ONE now!

Look -not only was it his 1st "real food" now it's his favorite! No one at the party seemed to mind-except his mom, b/c he smeared his pizza ALL over his new warm-up suit.

Don't worry, we won't give him the pocket knife until after he learns - it's not food.

Pppppbbbttttt a ball, a ball, I have a ball.

Aunt Meg & Jackson!

We're lucky, I think we got the last "park day" of the year.

Doesn't it seem this little one belongs in a movie. . . Ewok boy.

Campin' in the MOUNTAINS!

Here are some pix which I will organize later-but I thought you'd enjoy them even w/o captions
We went camping with the Branch in late June (22nd) out by Mt. Mitchell.

Eating while sleeping

Grant is a funny kid; nothing motivates this boy more than food. The first thing he does when he wakes up is run to the kitchen to look for his next fix. Because of this we bought a refrigerator latch to keep him out of the fridge. About 3 days after having the latch installed we found the fridge open with Grant inside and the latch busted. We now have two straps on the fridge and he has yet to penetrate our fortress but he has figured out how to get food off the top of the fridge now.

We caught him the other day fighting sleep so that he could finish his chili and cornbread and we were lucky to catch some of this on video.

We caught him a few days later eating a bowl of cereal with his eyes closed. He even drank the milk when he was done, I guess it's something that comes easier with practice.

This boy cracks us up and we love him for it!

June at our house was HOPPING

June was lots of fun visits from friends and trips with family! At the beach Brian & I actually went parasailing -it was a beautiful, clear day so you could see FOREVER. Plus I got ot see dolphins :) which always makes my day. Grant and Jared had lots of fun in the sand and of course Jared tried to eat as much as he could-boys! What FUN!!!!!!!!!

"I love it here"

(really, I do)

Grant is playing "hockey" & any minute he'll score a goal!

Jared was content to watch putt putt-we tried to let him play but the stroller kept getting in the way.

Grant's & Jared's 1st trip to Krispy Kreme!

Party at the beach!

After all that-he really is sleeping like a baby

Jared, has strawberries dancing in his eyes!

I know it looks like Jared belongs to them, but I promise he doesn't!

Here's Jared, showing off his rolls!

Stacey getting in some practice :)

I like spikes!


Pizza in a boat, anyone?


Mom, please don't make me come out.


Let's PLAY!
