let's play outside

Graham really likes to play in the dirt.  He thought he'd share with Mason.  Mason just sat quietly while Graham put handfuls and handfuls of dirt all over him and the stroller.

graduation party

The end of medical school is so close it's becoming quite frightening.  I don't know how we made it this far so quickly...it seems like we just got here.  But to celebrate being nearly done with school, we took a trip to San Diego with our best Midwestern friends and lived it up for a few days.  : )  Special thanks to Troy and Brooke Bushman, Johnny and Megan Tefteller, and Sam and Heather Ashby.  We had a lot of fun!

it's easier if you take the sprinkler off, buddy...

...but probably not as cute.

sleep {aka 'eep'}

Who would have thought that little babies don't just know how to sleep?  Strange, it is.  : )  Not really, but it's been interesting learning how to help our boys sleep.  When Graham was four months, he was ready for some sleep training, and he caught on to falling asleep unassisted in one try.  It was quick, easy, and painless.  He did really well for a while, with only a few set-backs here and there.  Most recently, though, Graham has made a game of getting out of his toddler bed.  At night, we'd put him down, and he'd get up.  Multiple times.  And this would go on for a few hours, sometimes until 10.  We tried all the tricks, but he thought he was so funny.  So we had to implement some bed time rules.  I'll let Graham tell you about them.

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

baseball

It's spring training time around here and the weather last weekend was b-eautiful.  We headed to the ball park with the Bushmans, and we had lots of fun!

Mason needed to stay hydrated. 

Gotta sport the Padres hat, even though they weren't playing...

We tried to get Graham to stay by us and sit or relax or watch the game, but he wanted to just run.  And run he did.

Graham and Jackson watched some of the game.

Stop it.  Look how cute.

Mason and Miss Clara spent some time conversing.  Don't you love her hat?  Very stylish.  : )

Hey boys.

blog malfunction *update

After playing with this silly thing for hours...I just changed the template.  So sad.  Now you can't see the pictures of our cute boys all the time on the side...they're hidden in that silly gray bar on the right side... Oh well.  Maybe someday the old template I was using will work again.  I better do something a little more productive with my time rather than playing with the settings on the blog for hours...like picking up laundry...  : )

Does anybody know why our blog is looking like this?  What is this ^ line? All my links are way down below and don't work.  I've been playing with it for two days now and I can't seem to fix it.  Any ideas?  I've tried everything I know how to do...  : (
