Carley & Patrick's Reception (12 May 2007)

The PARTY!!!!!!!!!!

All the wonderful dancing!!!!

THANKS to the music magic!

"I like it." (the food, Mmmm)

Look at those smiles- and it's even after bedtime.

Random goodness of life.

Hey, LOOK, everyone, Grant built a backhoe!

"Mom, I did it all by myself."

"Jared, you are a good roller"

"Look, Jared, this is really soft."

Now, this is what life's all about! Hanging out w/ your brother!

"Mom, I'm worried about Grant."

Stickers. . .

Grant decided to decorate his brother.

"Get those off your brother!"

Fine, Mom, I'll wear them.

Mayish 2007

Well, it's been almost a month-so I guess I ought to get to work cataloging my children's life-someday it'll be here boys-a virtual scrapbook! :) Nice how it takes up very little room and never gets dusty.


Jared, smile! (Grant loves using the camera or the tripod)



Now it's his turn to have his picture taken-what a "cheeser"



Just chillin' on the pillows.


Uncle Seth -this one's for you! :)

OK, here it is ONE of the things I thought I'd NEVER do-but they were just too cute

Too, bad we couldn't get 'em to sit still!

"I'd rather play with STICKS . . I tell ya!"

too good to pass up!

Van is sooo happy-Snickerdoodles!

It tastes soooo goooood, mmmmmmm!

Thanks, Mom!

(& Maggi doesn't even know how fast I can eat)

Just Hanging Out Around the House

The boys and a truck, need I say more (. . . Dad)

---

Just a couple of basket cases, what can I say?

It's time we went to sea
Mom, you did remember the snacks, right?!?!?

---

This is Grant's "giggle" dance-he is singing and dancing for Jared and Dad before bed.



Grant decided Dad should have a hat for the ceremonial "giggle dance and song" (Thanks, Nana)

Jared absolutely loves it when Grant entertains him! His dad & I do, too!

Afternoon at 'Nita's & a Night at home

Grant & Jared at Anita's for an impromtu play date-they LOVED it!!!!!!!
















Grant especially enjoyed the car.

Jared & Gracie started off w/ naps












FINALLY!!! Jared & Gracie meet for the first time.













The boys getting a "squnch" from Aunt Becca before she heads off to BYU-I.










Grant's 1st official Primary Activity-everyone else here is decorating cookies, Grant on the other hand is trying to find the chocolate chips, I removed them from the table after he used the spoon in them to try to eat them like cereal-the boy LOVES chocolate-what can I say?!?!!?








So much for "pretend" table manners.












Here is Grant "stealing" Avery's pretend food, well at least I can say he's consistent!







All tuckered out after all that partying!
