When moms away...

Dad MUST play ALL night long!!!

SLIGHT Obsession!

There is no way to deny that I am obsessed with this little girl.  She is wonderful, amazing, funny, independent & talented!!!  Can you tell that her mother is writing this? No, not bragging at all...  She is not the best eater (which is evident by her size) that doesn't mean however that we don't spend a LOT of time trying!  She has 3 teeth on top and 2 down below and her most comfortable way to get through this teething thing is to bite her tongue or her gums with her bottom jaw.  It is quite funny to watch because she looks like she has an under bite or that she hasn't learned to suck her tongue inside her mouth.  She just crawls around all day and minds her own business.  She has started to pull herself up onto anything that she can reach which makes me so sad!  It is hard to see your baby grow up so fast and to see her almost walking at 9 months which is way off from my other three that weren't walking until 15 months, at least!  She eats a whole lot of paper (she finds scraps all over the floor) regardless of how good I am at cleaning the floors.  She is still a little peanut and that is another reason that she looks so weird to almost be walking.  She is just a small bald thing crawling and standing all throughout the house.  Man Ryan and I adore her to pieces and we cherish EVERY minute because they pass by far too quickly!  Love you Greer!!!

A FUN school day with Daddy!

So Daddy decided that it was time that he treated the girls to a FUN filled day regardless of if they were in school or not!  The day started early (too early for Mom) with a bike ride to school.  The girls absolutely love this, I understand but wish they would wait until the weather isn't triple digits to do so!  Ryan was such a good sport and got ready and the caravan was off.  That is everyone except Blakely who threw a fit about riding and ended up having to catch a ride from mom.  The ride must have been at a leisurely speed because they pulled up right as the final bell rang and had to hustle to inside.  Then Ryan met the girls for some lunch and took Jag along.  After lunch is recess and he continued his father of the year campaign and followed them outside.  I am so glad that a little bit of me has rubbed off on him and he took the camera with him and came home with several new pictures.  The girls love him and he better keep showing up now because we assume that like all children some day the girls wont want their parents around anymore and this whole experience would have just been one embarrassment after another!  Thanks for being so involved Ry-Guy and for showing the kids that you care so much.  We love you kids and are so happy that you are ours!!!

The next generation...

There are several boys in our neighborhood that are hooked at the hip.  They have been friends for so long and are constantly running around together.  I have a feeling I found the "Next Generation!"

Meet Cordin Howard, Jagger Burkinshaw & Crew Lunt!

Tanner the BMX Pro...

When people talk about "God given talent" Tanner Lunt comes to mind for me.  This boy hardly tries and still wins every BMX race that he is in.  He got started in this sport because his buddies were racing and he thought it would be fun.  He showed up to a race borrowed a kids bike and with jeans on and everything WON and beat everyone.  After deciding that he really liked it his parents got him a real racing bike and helmet and let him have at it.  This boy is non stop. He shows up to whatever race he has time for and wins them all.  He has advanced into intermediate racing because of how many races he has won.  I just love this boy and the fact that he entertains us with his sports is such a bonus.  We cherish those Lunt children and love them all to death!

Everywhere into Everything!

I cant help but to laugh every time I see this little girl crawl around!  She is so small yet so mobile.  Overnight she started to crawl around and she wants to explore everything.  She does not like normal baby toys or saucers or swings, they keep her immobile.  Instead she likes to go out on her own.  She has eaten several pieces of paper before I found them, several times she has a mouth full of some sort of perfect size "choking" object, I have no idea how she does it.  You cannot turn your back for a moment or she is gone and with her size you really have to look for her.  She is  a hit everywhere we go!  I take her to the grocery store and people stop to talk to her and make her smile (which isn't hard at all)!!!  At the gym (I am not lying) there is a girl in Kids Klub that instantly puts the other babies down when she sees me walk in, to grab Greer.  She never puts her down.  She holds her the whole time!  There is something about Greer that draws everyone in.  You just want to hold her and squeeze her and tickle her like crazy.  She is always smiling and it is highly contagious.  I adore that girl and love absolutely everything about her.  Love you baby!!!

And so it begins....

School started today and I am so surprised but the girls were so excited that they woke me up at 7am dressed and ready to go!  I thought there would be nerves involved but they were truly ready to go.  I think once they got to school Blakely thought twice about it, but Ryan took her and calmed her down and she bravely strode ahead!  Blakely got Mrs. Johns (Navies old teacher) and Navie got Mrs. Hazen (which we have heard is phenomenal) we were really happy with this years teachers!  I think our children are in for a great school year ahead of them and many lessons learned.  They both came home with stories to tell and excited for tomorrow.  Blakely was a little worn out but hey we aren't used to long days like that.  We love you girls and are so happy that you have chosen to be so excited about education.  We hope those feelings continue through the years!!!
