life this week with [two little] griffeth boys

Nate & Ryan have been pretty fun this week.  Crazy [life with BOYS is always crazy], but good.

. We went to Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay with Grandma, Abbie & Daisy.  All of the kids enjoyed it but Nate and Abbie really liked it.

. Nate has been a superhero or a pirate since Christmas.  Luckily his friends think it’s pretty fun, too.

. A day with Hadley at our house.

This little girl is going to have a baby brother any day now that I can’t wait to hold and cuddle!  We got to have her with us for almost a whole day when they sent Kiley to the hospital for monitoring and it was such a treat.  After the first hour was over, they played PERFECTLY . . . without a fight or tear!  It was fabulous!

. One day Nate really wanted to wear his fishing boots all morning [with jeans tucked in like my jeans are tucked in to my Uggs] and then he switched to cowboy boots and his hat.  I wasn’t going to fight that battle on that particular day. 

Are you noticing a trend with his new camera face?

. Ryan is a total animal.  The staircase isn’t as exciting anymore [although he still thinks its a fun game to climb them] so he decided to climb the ladder to the slide and go down head first . . . as well as stand on Strawberry Shortcake’s house.  Why do I have a Strawberry Shortcake house?  Because it was my favorite toy growing up so I dug it out of my parent’s garage & cleaned it for the girls who come to play.  My boys like it as Buzz/Woody’s house . . . or Batman’s house.

. Ryan is loving all of his new musical toys he got for Christmas.  The boy LOVES music and loves to dance.  And he loves the tool on the tool bench that makes lots of noise.  He’s at such a fun age.  I love sitting on the floor with him and just playing.  He loves it, too.

. Today we went with our playgroup from our old ward to Anderson Dairy for a tour!  It was so cute.  Our tour guide was fabulous and the Dairy has done such a good job coming up with fun ideas for kids.  And the Griffeth clan will never complain about icecream at the end of an activity.  Somehow, after growing up here, I had never been to the dairy so it was pretty cool!
