Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

Finally uploaded pictures from the camera.  It's been fun to look through them but sometimes I wish time would slow down and the boys would stop growing up :)

Andrew teaching Alex to sword fight with kitchen utensils.  Alex can hold his own.

Hanging out with Grandpa, Gran, and Uncle Bubba

Justin filled Andrew's pocket with some change and now he's the coolest person on the planet.  He used it to ride the pony at the grocery store and stashed the rest for who knows what else.  Motor home, maybe?

It's fun to watch his little imagination.  He told me he was fishing.

And then there's this little squirt!

He got to where he could be halfway up the stairs and standing on the landing in two seconds flat.

Then I would wonder where he went and say "Alex?"

And that cute little face would pop around the corner, all grins.  

We ruined his life and put a gate at the bottom of the stairs.  I can now turn my back for two seconds without losing track of him.  He stood at the bottom of the stairs shrieking and shaking the gate.  Poor kid.

Showing off his reward for "taking care of business"

Robert has gone to "Pencil-bania" a couple times and Alex has been so happy whenever he comes home.

Driving "Lightening McQeen"

I think they were having a chocolate chip party

I don't know if it's the fact that Andrew started Preschool/Joyschool today or what but man have I been feeling sentimental about him growing up.  First day of kindergarten will sure be rough.....for me!  He is such a smart kid and loved singing songs and reading books today at "school."  He walked around for the rest of the day like he was the most grown up kid on the planet and so proud of himself for getting to start school.  He sure is a good kid!

And Alex turns one next week.  Can someone please push the pause button?
