little cowboy



bedtime stories

family day

A couple of weeks ago we took a family sabbath at the zoo and park.

We never just skip church. But the boys had been battling sickness and with Matt's crazy hours, we really needed a day to be together.

Plus, it was the first beautiful weekend and I knew Matt would want to see Graham enjoy the penguins. G loves the penguins.




After the zoo, we headed out to find a picnic spot.

In the 4 minutes we were in the car, Jackson pooped all over the place. Don't even get me started about his bowels and the car seat. It's rediculous.


The camera accidently got put on a weird setting. Cool though right?








We had so much fun together. Family Sabbath was wonderful.

three cheers for Spring!

We have really been enjoying our time outside with this nice spring weather.

In between the days and days of rain.


Someone is some kind of in love with the sandbox. We looked over and caught him swimming and throwing sand in the air. Summer is going to be awesome!

to eat or not to eat.

This little booger doesn't like food.

As in he won't eat any at all.

Yep, he was 7 months old when we tried some first sweet potatoes. After all the teasing and prodding at his mouth with a little taste on the spoon with no success at getting anything in - I resorted to squeezing his cheeks open just enough to put the taste on his tongue.

What do you think he thought of that little taste?

And right after this picture of sadness, he proceeded to throw up everything he'd eaten all afternoon.

Can we say sensitive gag reflex?

He's now 8 1/2 months old and still won't eat a bite. Still throws up if I try anything.

Oh, and he still doesn't take a bottle.

He is such a sweet little baby. So generous with his smiles. Can get a snuggle just by catching my gaze. Now if only he'd be a little more flexible with his eating preferences....

Just kidding, he'll be grown up and throwing goldfish before I know it. I'll take all the snuggles I can get now!

Mr. Potato Head

My favorite part is the mustache.

Boots

Graham is all about boots these days.
