So much going on...

So there has been a lot going on here lately.  With birthday parties, babies, deployments, first days of school, doctor appointments, dentist appointments and on and on things have been a little crazy.  Here are a few random pictures from our days lately.

Here are John and Grant.  I'm hoping they grow into being good brother buddies.  Right now they both cry at me a lot so they have that in common.  Grant is acting a little jealous of John sometimes.  He doesn't like John to sit in his swing, the bouncy chair, on mom's lap, on the boppy pillow or use any blankets that he thinks should belong to him.  Plus he gets very frustrated sometimes (Grant I mean) 'cause he can't tell us what's wrong.  So there is a lot of screaming some days.  John is pretty good at sleeping through scream tantrums which I think is amazing.

Angie, Scott's sister, is visiting and has been helping me a lot with Grant in particular.  Here is an instagram picture she took of him at the park.  He looks so happy.

And Angie has had a lot of success getting him to eat food, which is great 'cause he's generally such a picky eater.  Here he is eating peaches off the table.  He was having trouble picking them up 'cause they were so slippery.

Here's Matthew post-dental check up.  He was cavity free and got a special cavity free sticker.  Matthew and Anna love the dentist.  I guess that's a good thing.

Here's Grant peek-a-booing with a sweater Grandma Keeler made.  So much fun!

John is a great sleeper.  Better than Grant is these days.  Here he is about to fall asleep.

And he's out.  I love those cheeks!

More sleeping.

Matthew posing with a cardboard Matthew that Angie helped him make.

The kids had lots of fun coloring their cardboard people.

And Grant got a cool cardboard sign.  Mr. Grant that is.

Here's Anna playing Legos.  

She was sure to show Angie which Lego piece she had stuck in her nose a few months back.  Nice!

Grant was trying to grab the boppy pillow when he fell asleep in the swing.

Here's John giving Angie a hug!

And more sleeping (those cheeks!)

Grant looking so cute in the monkey hat (another cute pic courtesy of Angie).

And the two little boys (as I have taken to calling them although Grant gets offended if he hears himself being called "little") taking naps at the same time, while the big kids are at school!  Amazing!

 
I'm sure John will wake up soon, so I better enjoy this quiet time while I have it!
