The Boys Came to Play

And play they did!!! Melany brought the boys up to play today. They got here at noon and left at 7:00. They played non-stop. It was a lot of fun as you can tell by Dallons room. Man was he exhausted. It only took about 5 minutes before he was asleep. Todd on the other hand, got his second wind. Yeah!!! It is so nice for them to play together. They are really enjoying each other. And you can really tell that Trace and Dallon are related. WOW, they act the same. Todd and Trevin are pretty mellow and just watch from the sidelines. Smart boys, then they dont get into trouble.

The Start to Fun with Cousins

Rick's sister, Melany, is here from Kansas for about two weeks. She has two little boys, Trace and Trevin. They are 2 and 1. They are staying in Kamiah with Rick's grandparents. So, we will be down there a lot to visit and play. These pictures are from past two days. The kids get along really well. It is too bad they live so far away.

Camping

We went for our first camping trip of the season. It was typical weather for Memorial Day. Rain, Rain, Rain!!! We did manage to get in one four-wheeling ride. It was Todd's first ride and he did awesome. He slept all the way. Both the boys did really good camping. Dallon slept in the bunk bed for the first time. It was hard to keep him out of the mud. Typical boy!!! Todd wasnt fussy at all. He had a runny nose, but he never really got upset about it. The boys and I went up on Friday afternoon to help Gpa set up camp and then the rest of them came up that night. Dallon found snails all weekend and was fascinated with them. We came home on Sunday morning. Rick's sister is here with her two boys for two weeks, so we came out to see them. That will be another post.

Growing Like Crazy

Last night I decided to weigh Todd. Just out of curiousity. I knew he was growing, but not that much. He weighed 17.2 poounds. I was in shock. Dallon weighed about 37 pounds. Dallon better watch out, Todd might catch up to him.

Weekend Fun

We spent this weekend in Lewiston at my Grandparents. Friday night my sister and sister-in-law graduated from college. What a long evening. It was about 95 degrees in Lewiston. I quickly realized that hot weather makes both of my boys cranky. Todd wasnt happy until we got back to grandmas and he could lay on the floor in just his diaper. He rolled over 4 times for my grandpa. From his back to his tummy. No one else got to see it. And, he hasnt done it since. Saturday we went to St. Maries for a wedding. Again, Todd wasnt happy until he was on the floor in just his diaper. Dallon wasnt happy until he could get outside and run and play. Today we went shopping and then to my parents for a bbq and then came home. What an exhausting weekend.The boys are happy to be home. And so am I. Thank you grandma and grandpa for letting us terrorize your house this weekend. Dallon loved it and wants to know when he can come back. Congratulations girls on job well done. We are very proud of you both.

Ready to go hunting?!?

Yesterday I got the boys ready to go to my parents for scrapbooking. Not realizing that I had dressed them both in camo. I had to take a picture to send to Rick. I was thinking Todd looked really chubby in his shirt. Well, Dallon got in the picture. That is when I noticed. They both may look cheery here, but we have been fighting the flu in our house since Saturday night. Dallon has it really bad, but Todd just doesnt want to eat and is sleeping a lot more than usual. Hopeful it is almost gone. There has been no vomitting today so far.

Still Loving Each Other

Dallon is constantly asking me if he can hold Todd. I usually dont let him. I just tell him to play with him on the floor. Todd wiggles so much that it is hard to hold him. Yesterday, I just gave in. Dallon told me to get him a pillow. His Dad always needs a pillow. So I got him a pillow and placed Todd in his arms. It lasted long enough for me to get two pictures. At least Dallon still wants to be around him. I just cant wait till Todd gets a hold of one of his toys to see what happens.
