Honking the Horn / Landry is 5 months!

Greyson loved his car down in Nebraska and he has been talking about it since leaving.  Well one turned up and we just had to get it for him.  He had lots of fun watching Landry take a turn too.  We had a lot of fun watching Landry honk the horn.

Oh these boys sure do make us laugh!

 Landry is 5 months old!  It seems to have gone much faster than Greyson, yet still so slow.  He is a lot like his brother and isn't very content.  If he is not being held he will let you know about it after 5 minutes.

Last Sunday it quit raining long enough for a nice family outing to a river.  Greyson enjoyed using his fishing pole a horse and kept telling me he was a cowboy (so cute).  There were lots of "stinky" pink salmon, but as I've said before it's tough for Stephen to get much fishing down with a fishing pole riding cowboy to scare the fish.

 Whenever we go out Greyson more times than not is wearing his yellow jacket.  However with fall among us it is blending in more and more.

Stephen enjoying a little fishing time. 

 While eating supper the other night a big rainbow came across the sky.  It was a great opportunity to tell Greyson about God's promise with a rainbow.  Now whenever he sees rainbows he says "look rainbow, rainbow is promise."

Lance in Kodiak

It was great to have my cousin Lance, from Kotzebue come down to Kodiak!  He's the Cross Country coach and brought his team down for a race.  We didn't have tons of time together, but with Lance it doesn't matter, even a short time is great and we catch up fast.

Greyson up to Trouble

Greyson is always up to something!  The other morning he was playing quietly (I should have known it was too good to be true) with his trucks on the floor in the bathroom.  Not long after he came out looking like the pictue below.  Yep, he had found Roscoe's trimming scissors and his tooth paste and brush.  Thankfully the type of scissors we have for the dog didn't do too much damage on his hair. 

 

 

Then an hour later I was getting dressed to head down to the office when I heard a "momma lookit!" I of course came running because the last time that happened.  He had gone potty all over our pillows.  Well he had brought all the grass clippings he was playing with outside and dispersed them all over the living room carpet.  Mommy was not happy!  But Greyson had a great time sweeping and vacuuming it all up. 
Oh my what a little man!

Greyson and Landry Laughing!

Landry just loves Greyson, even though Greyson often makes him cry.  In the evenings before bed Greyson has fun entertaining Landry and he's always a little extra crazy because he's tired.  Lately he's really enjoyed watching Grey shoot hoops!

 

Ready Set Go!

On our hike down Pillar Mountain.  Stephen and Greyson had so much fun running down the mountain. 

Greyson and Puddles

Greyson and puddles have a very close relationship.  He loves to play in them, jump through them and on warm days sit right down in the middle of them.  Everyday on our walks home he tries to hit each one. 

Go Big Red

We rarely get a good picture, but you get the idea

The Sun Came Out So We Climbed a Mountain

Pillar Mountain is probably the smallest around Kodiak, but it's just right for a two year old learning how to climb up mountains.  Half the time was spent on Stephen's back, but the other half was Greyson climbing up up up and running down down down the mountain.  We of course had to take a nice break on top to pick and eat berries and have a snack.  Greyson enjoyed pulling Roscoe around and of course "playing"with his brother.  I often think how tough Landry is going to be after putting up with Greyson.  Just the other day while fishing Greyson decided to fill his hat up with sand and dump it on Landry's head.  I'm still pulling sand out of Landry's ears. 

 

 

Fishing and Other Outdoor Adventures!

Greyson isn't much for being indoors.  He'd prefer to be doing anything outside.  I really loves Roscoe and being led around by him.  The other night we hooked Roscoe up to his bike and within two minutes Greyson was face planted into the driveway.  He quickly hopped up with mud all over his face insisting that he was fine and wanted to keep going, and he did. 

 

Pink and Silver Salmon are all over the place, which means every spare moment Stephen wants to head to the water to do a little fishing.  This has become much more difficult since Greyson constantly is saying "I do it Dad".  So needless to say, we haven't caught very many fish, but Greyson loves to go fishing!

A couple of eagles came to visit us on one of our fishing trips.  They stuck around until Greyson got a little too close for their comfort.

Some Everyday Pictures

Landry loves being held all the time! He's also our hot little body, he likes as few of clothes as possible most of the time.  

What do we do on a raining day? Put on a rain coat and go outside! 

Stephen looked so silly this day.  

Greyson decided that fitting into the lamp box was a good idea.  He got a little stuck. 

End of the Summer

Well school has started and Stephen is back at North Star and Peterson.  But here are a few pictures from the end of the summer. 

Giving Roscoe a ride in an old diaper box

So much work is being done this summer at KBM.  One of the great things is having lots of sand piles all over the place.  This is one that Greyson loves to play on.  Also the hat used to be my moms' when she was a little girl

 A TRAIN!  A man donated a big train to KBM.  This is Greyson's new favorite toy.

 Dad gets a great workout with two little boys

 This is a HUGE slug! Greyson say his first one of the year and said "worm" and I said "nope an icky! slug"  he now sees all the slugs and says, "icky slug mommy!"

Landry is 4 months old as of August 21st!  He has started to wake up around midnight and scream and screech for about an hour.  He's so loud that the guy who lives under us has been commenting on the night "music".  He also is having a harder timing sitting alone, but Greyson works very hard to keep him content.  As I right, Greyson is sitting under me swinging Landry on the swing.
