love this boy

At least once a day the boys want to get on the bed to tackle and be tickled. We usually do so after bath time, which is usually an everyday occurrence. They love baths! Collin screams and tries to get in if anyone else is taking a shower. He gets bad that he wasn't invited.

leaves

Our first pile of leaves! It brought back last year memories of being 9 months pregnant and raking and raking!

Picking Raspberries

If you drive past our house you will often see me feeding my children off the vines or branches. It didn't take Collin long months ago to know where I was finding the delicious food I would stuff in his mouth so if I was holding him at the time he too would pick. A couple of days ago Devin was home and we were all out picking weeds and we found Collin picking his nummy fruit. Pretty impressive that he would grab the thorny raspberry plant and then with his mouth.

Toilet bowl cleaning

I was sweeping the kitchen and heard noise in the bathroom and found this little munchkin having a splash.

Happy boys

Collin has a funny/silly bone. He will laugh at silly things and has some great tickle spots.

Play house

I love how playful and imaginative Clayton is. He asks to play house and tells me where my house is and when to come over to his. He always says that his parents left him at home but that I can play with him. Sad, I don't know why he says that he has been left all alone. This is one of the last times that we played in the play house before it was taken down. See pictures below.

Coming to an end

Not only did our summer come to an abrupt end but so did the 20 or so year old play house. Devin with some help from Clay tore it down. We had parental consent but I know everyone is a little torn from the tare down. Devin found close to 20 wasps nests and it was just getting old so it will be okay that a new one will replace it. We went to the Space Museum in Salt Lake and took pictures of the boys on Mars. They look like they are sad about the idea of us leaving them on Mars. Little Collin is getting big too fast. It is fun though to see him learn and grow. He looks like he wants to walk already. He has two bottom teeth and only wants to eat food that requires him to use them.
