Walkers' Trail

Reid had his 15 month check up this week.  He measures tall and skinny - 31 3/4" (69%) and 23.6 pounds (35%).  He has had diarrhea now for about 7 mornings, which I think helped him to a lower weight (can that happen to me, please?!?!) and the doc attributed it to all of his molars coming in at the same time (guess that's a side effect of that).  Kyle weighed a pound more at his 12 month appointment!

What's a family to do when you plan on camping in the yard only to discover it's the first night of rainfall in a long time?!?  Move the party indoors to the playroom, and let the parents sleep in their bed!  When I took this last night, I laughed at the black and green tennis shoes between their heads - it is Grant's new pair of shoes and they glow in the dark.  So, ta da - it was their new nightlight!  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We took a road trip today to Stroud, Oklahoma, to the Rock Cafe.  My parents had heard of it and we wanted to share in the story.  Dawn, the lady pictured below, was at her restaurant several years ago when the people traveling Route 66 creating the movie Cars came traveling through town.  They loved her personal story, and based the character Sally Carrera, on Dawn's real life.  She was just a delightful person, cooked our food, and shared a bri...

Welcome School!  Today  marked the first day back to school for the boys.  I try to take this picture every year to mark how much they grow each year.  You can find previous pictures to compare here (09-10) , here (10-11) , and here (11-12).   I noticed that Kyle is the same height Grant was when he started 1st grade, which means Grant grew two bricks this year!  Kyle at his room!  He is starting the year with his best friend and several great friends in his class!  Grant got the teacher he wanted!  family picture (minus my man!) at the morning recess walk time. We love you, boys, and know that our Lord has great things in store for you this year!

This post is my camera's pictures from the past month.  I must have been busy cleaning to not have uploaded pictures for 34 days!  That's a long time for me.   - More Lemonade Stand -   My marketing son is out at the main street trying to pull in traffic Reid's my tornado now - he is in to every cabinet, crevice, anything he can find - included the dishwasher.  I don't let him do this anymore (heaven forbid it break before we close!).  Jason also fed him a pickle, which he actually tasted and didn't react too much to it.  ...and the infamous toilet paper roll being strung out by those sweet cheeks! I give the boys their haircuts.  Pretty opposite in color!  Variety IS the spice of life!    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STAR WARS EXHIBIT! Woot woot!   The big boys and I headed to Wichita today to go to the traveling Star Wars exhibit a...
