My Boys

Josh is great at entertaining his little brother! Sometimes when Connor wakes up from his nap, if I am in the middle of something, Josh will go play with him until I finish what I'm doing. One day I found quite a wide array of toys and Josh in the crib with Connor playing. They were happy and content for over half an hour, which made it much easier for me to get some things done!
I get such a kick out of the boys and the blue hats. They love them and Josh comes up with such creative ensembles. It cracks me up.
Every kid needs a cape and hat in order to eat a snack and watch cartoons!
Josh's stylish new swim suit complete with hat! We're ready for Grammy's pool now!!
All ready for church! Such a handsome little guy!
Our very own Oscar the grouch! He gets upset if I call him that. I'm not sure why one of his favorite hiding spots happens to be the stinky clothes hamper.
Our little Connor is already 9 months old! All within the past week and a half he got two teeth, started clapping his hands and waving, and is starting to pull himself up on things. I can't believe how much he is learning all of a sudden! Last night we had his well check and he weighed in at 15 pounds, 1 ounce and was 26.3 inches long. He's in the fifth percentile for his weight! It amazes me how much mischief such a little guy can get into!
If I turn my head for two seconds Connor has a tendency to disappear if he's not barricaded in a room. His travels take him under his swing.
I frequently have to retrieve him from under the table. He is overly helpful in helping me clean floors. I keep thinking I should strap a mop to his belly and my kitchen floor would be in great shape!
I find him behind the furniture. Despite my best efforts to put a road block so he couldn't go behind the chairs, he still manages to get through.
Even when an empty box falls on top of him and there's a toy in the way, he still manages to get to the plug!
Josh has always liked to lay down in Connor's way to block him from going somewhere, but it no longer works! Connor has figured out how to go over him. He tends to get high centered and then sort of face plants into the floor, but now he always manages to get past his big brother!

The Grotto

So far it has been a very busy summer, but we are enjoying being able to spend time outside. It's nice to be able to go up Payson Canyon again. Sydney absolutely loves it and so do the boys. Here are some pictures from our Sunday afternoon walk up to the Grotto.
