Pictures and updates

We finally figured out how to upload pictures to put on our blog. I hope you like them.

Things have been crazy around here. Kyler is almost 6 months old and is finally getting less fussy. Brayden is also getting big and is keeping us very entertained and busy keeping him out of trouble. A few weeks ago he decided to experiment with electricity. I (Sarah) was feeding/rocking Kyler on a Saturday morning when all of a sudden the lights in the living room went out. I turned around and saw my tweezers sticking out of the electrical socket. I started to scold Brayden, telling him that we DO NOT put anything in the electrical socket, but stopped because I saw that he was just sitting there stunned beside the light socket. He had gotten quite a jolt of electricity. I said, "buddy, does your hand hurt" and he just melted. He told us that his hand burned. Daddy checked him out an everything was ok, but we sat him down and told him why his hand burned and told him not to do it again. After that, we made sure that we had plug protectors in each outlet. Needless to say, he hasn't went near an outlet since.

The picture of Kyler above is from this evening when we gave him his first "big boy" bath, in which he got to sit up. He loved it. He is growing up too fast. As you can see from the picture he already has two teeth on the bottom and we just noticed this morning that he is getting some teeth on the top now. It looks like one of his top front teeth and the tooth beside it are budding. Hopefully the other front tooth buds soon or he will look kind of silly!

Everything is going well with Steve and me. We are getting ready to ship Brayden up to Grandma and Grandpa Grubaugh's tomorrow so he can be spoiled for the next week, swimming, picking blueberries and playing on Grandma and Grandpa's jungle gym in their back yard. He will have a great time and Steve and I will get a little break, only having one child for a week. We will miss him, but he will not miss us with all the spoiling that will take place.

Well Kyler is certainly becoming a very charming little boy! He has a very coy smile that just melts your heart when you see it! The most interesting thing that Kyler has done recently was this morning. When Sarah went into the room to wake up the boys, she found Kyler lying there grinning from ear to ear with his PJ's almost completely off! His bottoms were around his ankles and he had successfully taken one arm completely out of the sleeve! We don't know how he did it, but we speculate that he must have been chewing on his clothes and pulling them off.

Later on, when we picked up the kids from daycare, Brayden was reluctant to go, so I told him that we were going to go get some pizza for dinner. One of his teachers asked him "Wow Brayden! Can I have some of your pizza!?" To which he replied "yes." Well imagine our shock when 45 minutes later after we picked up the pizza and did some running of errands, Brayden told us to stop the car at daycare so we could give his teacher some of the pizza! I swear that kid remembers things like nothing I've ever seen before in someone so young.

Sarah and I celebrated our anniversary a little early and bought a new tool to capture all the great moments our kids bring us. We got ourselves a new SLR digital camera. For those of you who may not know... SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex, and it's the type of camera that has no shutter delay so you can take photos very quickly and not miss those precious moments. We'll try to figure out how to post some pictures on this site in the near future.

Anyway, got to go study now.
