1st Grade!

It's so hard to believe, but Colin started first grade this week. What a big boy! He's riding the bus home too, which has turned out to be a lot of fun for him. We're very proud of him!

(and of course Owen has to have what Colin does)

4th of July weekend!

The boys had a blast - literally - on the 4th of July. We teamed up with our neighbors and set off a bunch of fireworks together. The men went to the Indian Reservation and bought a stash right at the end of the day when they are trying to unload them. Cheap deals! You can see the loot they picked up and the happy kids at the neighbor's house.

Today Benjy took the boys on a hike in the Olympic Mountains. Both boys had a blast and Owen even hiked the whole way! (3-4 miles)

Kindergarten bites the dust!

Colin officially "graduated" from kindergarten yesterday! So hard to believe - seems like just yesterday he was starting this school year. (and just last week it seems he was a baby!) Here are some pictures from the fun! The classes did a bunch of cute songs for the parents and then we had a party in his classroom. He met his teacher for next year and is very excited already!

Also, here is a picture of the boys "cuddling" on the couch last night watching TV. Just too cute!

Happy Easter!

The boys had a lot of fun this weekend celebrating Easter! Our neighbor, Suzanne, held her annual egg hunt for the boys and spoiled them with tons of candy - Owen really did well this year finding eggs and is very good at eating lots of chocolate!

The boys had plenty of goodies from the Easter Bunny this morning as well and have been on a sugar high all day long.

We've had glorious weather this weekend with highs near 70 both days and sunny!

I'd say that's the perfect Easter!

Volcano Action and Bounce House Fun

The boys got a volcano kit a few weeks ago and had a lot of fun making colored LAVA come out of the top. I thought I was so fancy getting this kit to make a volcano - and wouldn't you know it, the SAME day the volcano kit came, Colin came home from school saying that they did a volcano in school that day the same way. So much for a surprise...

We also had our friends, Kennedy and Will, over to play in the bounce house. They all went a little crazy!

And just because I'm the mom, I can show you a play-doh creation that Colin made for me!

He said WHAT?

"Sometime we should make Banana Fosters. They are cool because you get to light them on fire."
"He's my assistant." (talking about Owen, of course)
(When talking about exotic animals that were coming to summer camp) "I wonder if they will be alive or dead."
"It would be nice if we could find a short trail that leads to Jackson Hole."
Colin: "Mommy, guess what we found?" Mommy: "What?" Colin: "NOTHING!"
"Life is good when you have Candy."
"The Earth is as strong as a hundred million elephants!"
"Let's go be entertained."
"Is Limbo a big city?" (we were talking about something being stuck "in limbo" and Colin asked this question)
When asked who won the Oxford-Cambridge boat race Colin said "The yellow team won, the one daddy LOVES!" (Oxford)
"Owen, let's go back to the holo-detector!" (referring to the closet)
"Don't see that on Animal Planet."
"Did the sky scrape all of the clouds away?"
"I can easily just take off any baby locks on the cabinets. Owen and I are partners in time." (crime)

"I think it's OK, I don't see the prosecutor."
"How about some surprise chocolate for dinner?"
"Why is she just SO SO nice, Daddy?" (talking about our dear friend Amy)
"Nevermind. Blah Blah Blah Blah."
"Put a Hair Pony on her Mommy." (talking about a pony tail)
"This (Ice Cream Sandwich) should do the trick."
"If you get hurt you need to kiss yourself to make it better."
"See what these tater tots are made from? They are made from ketchup!"
"I need another popsicle because I'm still hot inside."
"Is Owen going to eat today?"

"Mommy, am I doing tummy time?" (while lying face first in the snow)
"Toxic Moron" (an Oxymoron)

"Don't do that. If you do it again you're going for a time out."
"Where was this rocking chair made? Was it made in China?"
"I'd rather be playing football (English football = soccer) but it's so cold outside I have to shovel instead."
"I can't wait until I can swim again. I want to dive right in."
"Can we play these? I think we have time. Let me check the clock."
"Mommy, do you still have the hug that I gave you last night?"
"I'll be back in a jiffy pop, so I don't need a coat."
"I think all three fire engines have to go to the fire because they can't stay home alone."
"But I do have some patience."
"When Daddy goes around the corners in the fast car I laugh!"
"When I sworded Daffy (the cat), she didn't move at all! Not one little bit!"
"When I grow up I want to be just like you (Daddy)"
"Oh I love Thanksgiving! I can't wait to go trick-or-treating!"
"You should have two drills in case we meet a goat."
"We don't need my juice if we have a goat."
"Awww...Could we keep him (Owen) until winter?"
"I've been diving for that at Costco." (when receiving a helicopter from grandparents for his birthday, one he's been dying for at Costco)
"My diggers are not going to work on my birthday because I'm going to be at Chipotle"
"We could just make time to do it then."
"Mommy, why do you say "No" all the time?"
"That's the biggest digger I've seen in my whole life!"
