My Favorite Age

The boys have been so much fun lately. They are learning new things every day and just growing up so fast it's hard to keep up with it all. They are talking so much, and doing the funniest things. Reid is into every sport known to man, and I think the only ones he doesn't play on a regular basis are rugby, and lacrosse. He is very proud of his skills and always wants us to watch him, or play him. "Play me golf Mama" he will say, or whatever the sport of the moment is. I came into the family room the other day and our kitty (or litty) Zappa was sitting on the fire place and Reid was up in her face saying "big one Zappa, big one...watch Zappa, I hit a big one" (everything is a BIG ONE these days), and then he turned around and hit the base ball, and then stared at Zappa waiting for her reaction. I'm not sure if he was expecting her to get up and clap, or cheer or what, but of course she just stared at him like...'seriously kid...beat it'. This is the same boy that would say "catch litty" and throw the basketball straight at the kitty's head...so who knows.
They love telling me to slow down when I drive, and we have to be very careful with our words these days since we have two little parrots in the house. I made the mistake of telling Grant during one of his melt downs to "Dude knock it off", and funniest thing happened...I had an echo coming from who else but Reid.
Another one of their favorite things is to call each other by their first and middle name. Reid calls his brother "Gant Eward", and Grant calls Reid...."Rei-D" or "Reidy-T".

We have been talking a lot about going to a baseball game lately, and also about our beach vacation we will be taking with Nana and Pappa in a few weeks. Every time I would bring up either of those topics Reid would say "I wike it, bubba wike it, dada wike it", and he would get more and more excited with each person who would like it, and I'm pretty sure he thought we were going right then....just a few more weeks Reid!

Ok, well that's all I have for now....I know there are so many more stories to tell, but these are the ones that come to mind....here are some random pics of just hanging out.

This was one of those "watch me" moments...look at the tough guy trying to play it cool :)

Grant found this baby in an old box of stuff my mom gave me from when I was liittle...he named the baby 'Nana'???? lol

This was a picture of silly hair day at school...they wanted "rooster do's"
