COPY CAT

JoJo is the clown of the family!  He likes to copy anything his brothers do.  If Jon lies in the grass, JoJo lies in the grass.  If Jake peeks out from behind a tree, then JoJo peeks out from behind the tree.  But his little smile makes us all laugh.  No one ever seems to get annoyed with that little guy!

Jordan Turns 4

My baby is four years old today.  So hard to believe that he is moving beyond his toddler years.  We had a Thomas cake for his birthday, made him a shirt and got him his first bike.  He LOVED his bike!  NO FEAR! He was ready to ride and ride fast!

His other favorite gift was his pillow pet that Grandma and Papa King got him.  He LOVED his pillow pet!  All he could keep saying is "Its a pillow, its a pet.  Its a pillow pet!"

Legoland Aquarium

The Legoland Aquarium opened in Tempe this summer so I had wanted to take the boys to visit.  Randy came in from one of his roadtrips to meet us there!  Though the aquarium was a bit small for the price- the boys loved it!  

My Weekness....

"Can we have a sleepover?"

It all started when Jonathan had a friend over to spend the night.  We wondered where they should sleep so we thought we'd pull out the memory foam we had and lay some sheets and blankets on it and they could sleep on the floor in the game room and watch TV.  Well it was quite a success and now they ask almost every night if they can have a 'sleepover'!  Not necessarily with friends but just with each other!  Even Jojo has gotten into the act!  he thinks it is hilarious to sleep on the floor!  

Slave labor

The time has come....for our oldest child to learn to mow the lawn!  One of those days you wait for but think will never come.  And as much as Randy dreads mowing the lawn- Jonathan was THRILLED to learn a "man's job"!  He even put on his Michigan shirt so he could match his dad!  Slave labor....gotta love it!

GRAND CANYON

In early July, Randy had a road trip and I had cheer camp so Grandma G and Papa G GRACIOUSLY offered to watch the boys while we were gone!  What an incredibly BRAVE thing to do!  They took the boys to the Grand Canyon and the horse races and kept busy playing and exploring the animals around the house!  The boys had a great time.....when I walked in the door- Jonathan did not stop talking about all their adventures!  When I asked if they wore out Grandma and Papa - they said, "NO- they wore US out!"  Not sure that was the case but none-the-less, a great time was had by all!
