This is Max after an afternoon with no nap. I was reading the paper while he was jumping in his jumper. All of the sudden the room was very still. What you see in the video is the result of what happened.
The boys have truly enjoyed riding their bikes recently. More than ever, the boys are constantly wanting to ride them. I will come home from work and be guaranteed to find them on the sidewalk having fun. Poor Maxie doesn't have a chance just yet. He is stuck inside, but getting ever so closer to crawling. Notice Eddie with the hat and Henry with the cowboy boots!
Great News! We just sold our house and bought another. Closing looks to be finalized on both houses the 11th of September. Stay tuned for more details.
Here are a few recent pics of the boys. Henry was cuddling with his blankie when he was sick in the one picture. Eddie wanted me to take one of him just like the one I took of Henry. And the ones of Max...well, isn't he just so stinking cute?
We went to Huntertown Heritage days parade today! It was perfect....not as crowded as the 3 Rivers parade, but the boys still enjoyed their favorite part---the candy!!! Plus, it's right down the street, can't beat the short drive!
A few nights ago we grilled the best chicken that has been cooked at our house, so far. Here is a snap shot:
...and then the entire meal:
If any of you have had the Port-a-Pit chicken and liked it, this is for you.
We ended our day by going to Sammy Heinnywipe's birthday bash. The boys had fun, minus the meltdown Henry had over some popped balloons and in the van ride home. Here is some footage of the birthday song.
This was in Tennesee at Aunt Kim and Uncle Matt's house. Sparklers for the boys.
Daddy went fishing with Henry and Eddie today. Henry caught a baby bluegill and helped me reel in a medium sized female bluegill.
Story: Eddie wanted to be the first one to fish because we only take one fishing pole due to the chaos it causes. I threw it out into the water, handed it to Eddie, he reeled one full rotation on the fishing pole, then proceeded to tell me he was done. Now you know why we only take one pole. Henry took over from there while Eddie went down the way and looked for rocks to throw.
After fishing we went to the local playground and the boys played on the various slides. They had a great time trying to defy gravity with their every move -- up slides, standing on slides, balancing on the edges of the slides (Typical boy activity). Dad just sat back and let nature take it's course. Angie wonders why boys have a need to make her heart rate go up. I just tell her this is the beginning of what lies ahead and brace for it now.
After they at lunch they came out and helped mow the grass for 5 minutes or so. Eddie is very afraid of the lawnmower. He has his little lawnmower, pushing it around the yard. Anytime I get near him, he will run as fast as possible pushing his lawnmower with him. They boys then went on to hitting golf balls in the freshly manicured grass. Henry is developing a nice swing. Eddie is just learning how to grip the club. He doesn't like any advice (I don't know where he gets it), so I have to be very firm with him to help.
