All done!

I've been trying to get Rayler to say "all done!" when he's finished eating for a while now. He won't say it, but he's started doing this.

All done Mom!

This one has stolen my heart.

Cooking with Chef Bugs

Hullo ivrybody! This is Chef Bugssss. We is gonna be makin' yummy, warm chili tuday. Firs thing ya need is yer Mummy. She is a big im-po-tun part of cookin'. I let her do all the uninerestin stuff. So grab yer Mum and head to the kichen.

Now, my Mummy tuk all da pitchures (cus I wus busy cookin) and she forgotted to take some so I'll jus narate what she forgotted. (Yull hev to fergive her, she's old)

Firs thing, I asked Mummy to cook all the humberger. I think thats a gud job for her. Then I asked her to put all the humberger in this wird bowl thing called a krokpot. (I think thats wut its called) Nex we had to open up the bean thingys. Mummy used a whirry thing to open them up. She did a gud job. Go Mummy! An then she put the red beans in the krokpot. Thats wen I decided that it wus time for me to tak over.

Pour in the tumato joos. Can #1.

An thats purty much it fulks. Mum turned the krokpot on an now the house smells rully yummy! I cant  wait to tell Daddy that I mad dinnur! With Mummys help of course. (I let her think she does all the wurk around here. It makes her feel better) I sugges that you hav cheez and pikles and chips with your chili if you mak it. I do. Well, I don hav chips. Mummy won let me hav those yet.

Happy cookin fulks!

P.S. If Scout's Mummy reads this, wud she puleez send my Mummy her chili recipe? I wunt to try it. Mummy says it wus rully gud.

One-on-One

Rayler's first basketball game with Daddy at the fire department.

Bugs is just a wee bit short to dunk.

Stealing the ball

I'm open Dada!

He would take the ball over to the goal and just stand there looking up at it until Tyler picked him up.

He got a little side tracked when he saw his own reflection in Uncle Leif's shiny bumper.

Woo Pig Sooie!

We went to (Rayler's) Uncle Ray and Aunt Nette's for the first Razorbacks game on TV. That called for a short road trip. Rayler napped on the way there.

We discovered that we needed to lean his car seat back a bit further.

He loved playing with Dylan's firetruck and Hannah and Madison's Barbie car.

But this is how he spent the majority of the day. Up and down. Up and down. And up and down again.

Dylan drove Rayler around in this box for the longest time. Rayler loved it.

Trying out the trampoline with Aunt Nette

Uh, Aunt Nette, I'm not quite sure how to operate this thing...

Jumping with Hannah and Madison. (Twin cousins)

This is fun Mom! Why don't we have one of these? *Because we don't have a a yard to speak of son*

It is SO easy to get him laughing. I love it.

Uh, opps. Guess I should have warned you not to watch that if you have motion sickness. My bad!

This is sweet baby Edyn. I did not fully realize how HUGE my baby was until I held her!

Rayler didn't know what to think about her. She's the first baby he's seen in quite a while. The first thing he did was poke her right in the eye. *sigh*

It was WAY past Rayler's bed time. No, Tyler's not asleep, he's playing on his Kindle.

Chrissy (holding Edyn) and Nette (holding Kennadie). Another set of twins! so much fun!

In closing I find it appropriate to mention that our team did lose. But in spite of that we still managed to eat entirely too much delicious food (7 layer dip, seriously, why have I never tried this before? Life changing!) and have a really fun time. Thanks Ray and Nette for an awesome party!
