January, 2013

The first photos were actually taken the end of December, but since KJ's birthday is in January, I am putting those in this post.

We celebrated KJ's fifth birthday with Papaw Bob's at their house.   Their mom makes cakes they can eat, since they are allergic to so many things.  This was a Star Wars themed one. 

Happy birthday, guys!

We also celebrated Christmas that day.

Now, we are into January.  Mom got a hair cut, and after losing lots of weight, won a contest at the place she worked out at.  Congratulations, Linda!

I thought this was cute.  CE acted afraid at first.

Then, he petted the chicken.

CE is still helping unload the dishwasher when I ask him to.  Oh, my, we sure had more dishes to put in there!

KJ still likes to pretend to have picnics.

 He also makes cool things with the different building toys we have.

We always like it when the boys play together.  As CE gets older, I hope he figures out ways to approach his brother that will draw KJ to him instead of him frequently wanting to get away.

Guys, this didn't turn out, but I kind of like the swirls of color that are you two playing.

CE likes the refrigerator magnets.  He noticed I got some new ones, and enjoyed moving them around, finding different spots for them.

KJ looked comfortable playing whatever game it was on Grandpa's lap.

I always like it when CE will cuddle with me.

Yippee!  I am almost caught up!  Guys, it is so much fun being your grandma!  I have been cleaning the toy room today.  When you come over Saturday, it may not be finished, but you will be able to walk on the floor.

December, 2012

December is always a fun month, and when you have grandchildren, it's even more fun!  There is a tree to decorate.

There is also a refrigerator to decorate.

There are toys to play with.

There are things of Grandma's that are not toys, that she lets the guys play with.

There are fun art activities.

There is snow to play with, inside, when Grandpa and Big Brother are outside playing in it.

When Big Brother came in, he joined in the fun.

Fun on Grandpa's lap!  (I think there was something they were looking at on a computer.)

Then, Christmas Eve came, and we had fun opening presents and enjoying each others' company.

These with the striped shirt, are out of order.   This happens, even though I put the photos in order as I put them on.  I don't know why this happens.  I did some rearranging, but I don't remember where these go, and need to be getting off the computer soon.

OK, we're back to Christmas Eve.

More out of order:

The guys can be so sweet!

We haven't been playing with the train tracks as much, but I'm glad we still do some.

KJ sure is good at putting things together!

CE has gotten good at feeding himself.

Fun with Papaw Bob and Great Grandma Mary.

The next few are from Christmas Day, when we went to Aunt Amy's and Uncle John's.

This is the guys' dad, Trevor's cousin, Tyler.

Guys, you are both so much fun to be with, and Grandpa and I are happy you are our grandsons.  We love you very much, as do your great grandparents.
