Oh boy these guys are BUSY.  We have been on a roller coaster lately.  Work is ramping up for both Ed and I and so is weekend recreation.  Jr. had a good soccer season.  What started as a gang-esque tackling karate chopping not listening little troop of apes actually turned out to be a pretty decent soccer team.  There was still a lot of pre-schooler hijinks at the last game, but the kids could turn the ball around and kick goals - sometimes.  I was pretty proud of him for coming so far himself - plus he loves to play, he always wants in the game. 

Plus I have to say - I am pretty enamored with 4-year old.  He is so sweet lately and his memory is crazy good.  He asks about 4 brazillion questions a day which is a little maddening, but his smarty pants still blow us away.  The things I love about 4-year olds are: telling us that he is hungry and what he wants to eat, eating by himself sometimes, getting himself dressed, putting on his own shoes, getting himself to bed after he gets out if it for the second or third time...  well....  there is a lot of things to love about 4-year olds.  A lot.

Jr. starts pre-school next week.  We are so excited... but he will miss Aimee a little bit.  I wonder what it will be like for Graham without his brother playing with him (knocking him down) all day. 

Graham is a talking wonderboy.  He is pretty much 90% communicado lately.  It might take a time or two to understand EXACTLY what he is saying, but he can speak in sentences and finally let us know what he wants.  It has cleared up a lot of frustrations between us.  He is also spunky.  We lovingly refer to him as the blue eyed devil, that sweet little sh*t, or that nasty little cutie.  He is so stinkin cute, generally happy and so snuggly and loving - but you cross him and BAM! you mess with the bull you get the horns boy.  Like when he can't do everything the exact same as his brother.  M-A-D.  He is still so full of hugs and sweet kisses and sings and dances all day, you quickly forget that he just bashed you in the head with his juice cup.  Cutie.

I am a video.  A very sweet video of a dance party.  These happen about once a day.

I had to add this photo because of Graham's dragon fleece outfit.

In the camper up since around 5AM.

I am a video of Fishy the Bullfrog at Canyon Ferry.

Oh man, that bullfrog is FUN!

Fishing baby.

Bullfrog named fishy.

Last day of soccer.  It was a great season.
