Crew and Greyson really miss the big boys when they are at school.
Crew will ask me all day "when is it time to get the boys?"
I hope this will change once he starts preschool.
Cause there is only so much wrestling that mom can do.
They need their brothers!!

Tanner (5th grade)

Carson (2nd grade)

And my Crew Bear who is going to be my little buddy. He is already missing his brothers. he told me that he wishes that he was starting kindergarten.

Tanner has been working hard this summer on his scout book. He earned his religious square knot, handyman, forester, naturalist, aquanaut, traveler, hiking belt loop, family travel belt loop, fishing belt loop, and swimming belt loop at pack meeting this month.

It was also a fun one because they got to race their boats.

Camping

We went to Mt Charleston last weekend and went camping. It was our last little trip before school starts. It was nice to get away. The boys had fun with the swing and getting dirty.

Brian relaxing around camp. Or was he trying to hide the huge hole in his pants?? Hmmm.

The swing kept them busy. But the adults had to constantly moniter who's turn was next. That is always annoying.

Tanner and Karley stayed real busy building this fort. They worked hard on it. It was awesome!

Oh and what do you think of my new blog design?? I asked Kim to redesign it for me. I just told her I wanted clean and modern.....and I love it. Check out her other cute stuff she designs.

Thanks Kim!!

Greyson,
Where do I even begin? You are 19 months. You keep me so busy. And like I am not busy enough!!


You love to climb. None of your brothers were this bad. Your favorite is the top bunk on Tanner's bed. You also love to get on top of the kitchen counter and play in the sink. Or on the bathroom countertops. You destroy my bathroom every morning when I take a shower. I have pretty much emptied out the medicine cabinet. The toothpaste is on top of the shower. Everything has been moved up higher. I wonder how long it will take you to figure out how to climb higher! You climb out of your crib. When you wake up in the morning you come out of your room on your own and shut the door behind you.


The dining room chairs have been up on top of the table for months. And you use your highchair to help you get to where you need. The past couple days I have been tempted to get rid of it. You climb out of it when you are not in the mood to eat anyways so I am not sure why I haven't followed through. I need to do that. You are into everything.


You love keys, screwdrivers, flashlights, cell phones, remotes, wii controllers, and anything else that you should not have. We had to take a screwdriver away from you when we had to go into church. And you were pretty upset.


You really don't say much. You understand us but we sometimes have a hard time understanding you. You grunt and point a lot and also take our hand and take us to what you want. You say mama, dada (but usually call daddy 'ama'. it's actually kinda funny!), and then we can understand other things you say but they are not clear words. Like hot and Tanner. You are always making a motor sound. And you love all things that have motors.


You love to wrestle, pinch, punch, and just be rough. But you also love to give loves and kisses, sing songs, dance, and tickle.

Oh and you love the squirt bottle. You love to spray the mirrors. It is kinda is annoying because ......well it just is!! But you love to spay Crew in the bath!

You are my smart and sweet little bubba. I really don't mean it when I tell you that I wish you were 5 this year and going to kindergarten. I want you to be at home with me for a few more years. I think that I have a lot to learn from you.

Love,

Mom
