Grandpa, aka "pa pa"

The boys got their first taste of a popsicle this weekend. On Saturday we let them have one outside in the nice weather. It was funny to watch them try and eat them. (Reed)




Grant had a better idea of what to do than Reed did.


They had a lot of fun with it even though it ended up getting all over them. I think there was more on the ground by the end then in their tummies.

WE have been really working on trying to find ways to burn energy during the day. Our new favorite thing to do is go to the elementary school by the house. With Jeff studying so much we need things to do so that mommy doesn't go crazy. (Reed)




We used to play in the kiddie/tot playground but have graduated to the big kid area. It's a much better area for supervised chaos. (Reed)





There is just so much room for them to run around and throw their ball.




Grant was having such a good time. Then he took a break to come sit by me for a snack.



My dad came into town for a day yesterday. He had an extended layover so that he could see us. Reed was VERY interested in his laptop and kept pusing the buttons.



Grant got a bigger kick out of his blackberry. Dad was nice enough to let Grant play with it. He was so happy sitting on the couch next to "pa pa". One minute after my dad got there and we said, "it's Grandpa" they started calling him "pa pa". Too Cute.





Grant looking serious as he gets ready to call "daddy".



The boys' birthday is in a few weeks and Grandpa (and Emmy) got them their presents while dad was here. No need to pay for shipping!! Anyway, they got a new sand/water table and a picnic table. Dad and I put together the sand table so the boys could start playing. I'll post some pictures of it in action later this week. We can't wait to use this and our new picnic table. We really are looking forward to spending some time outside in the nice weather.



We went out for a nice dinner at Red Robin and then took my dad to the airport. Thanks again dad!! We had a great time. The boys were good for the meal, not the worst they've ever been out to eat. Grant was so entertained by my dad's piece of watermelon.

Reed was sad to see him go. The entire drive home he kept saying, "bye bye pa pa". I tried to get it on video. If you listen carefully it's the first thing he says. But everytime I asked him to say it, he would tell me "no". As soon as Jeff would put the camera away, he would say it. He kept saying it all the way home, just not for the camera, ofcourse.
