Sliding Fun!

As the school year comes to a close, so does the daycare!  This year for the end of the year party, we went to the Coconut Bowl fun house.  Tracen was in heaven with his two buddies Jake (21 months) and Jackson (4 years).  The three of them ran around the place, going down slides, throwing balls and laughing hysterically!  It was so fun to watch Tracen have such a fun time.  We love our daycare buddies and I am so grateful for Chrysta and Kacey, the wonderful ladies that run the place.

Two Cute Brothers

Tracen finally sat down and let us take some pictures of him and his little brother Logan.  Aren't my boys the cutest?

Chub of Love!

So, I was thinking that our blog is a little off balance...Tracen is dominating, so I thought that I would show you our chubby little Logan.  He is just a little more than 6 weeks old and is already a big boy!  He is a really good boy, most of the time.  However, we left him home with my mom while we went to Six Flags and he was not loving her...he never stopped crying (poor grandma)!  On Saturday we moved him into his crib in his own room and now we are sleeping a bit better.  Logan is a very noisy sleeper...he snores/grunts all of the time!  Before, he was in our room in a bassinet next to our bed...great for a while, but definitely not a long lasting set-up!  I can't wait until he gets bigger and starts to coo at us and smile.  Every now and then he will give us a little peek of his personality, but he sleeps too much to let us get to know him yet.  We love him though!  Even Tracen is starting to get accustomed to him.  Whenever he cries, Tracen says, "Don't cry, Logan."  It is really sweet!

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!

Tracen and Daddy at the gates of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!

Tracen really liked the Looney Tunes characters.

Tracen was a bit nervous about going on the rides.  But eventually he got used to the idea.

Our friends the Buehners joined us for our day of fun.

A Whale of a Time!

Getting ready to go for a swim!!!

Today we were at the store and Chris found our new favorite toy!  A whale slide-swimming pool!  At first Tracen didn't like the cold water, but as soon as I showed him how fun it was to splash, he couldn't get enough of it.  Then Morgan (Tracen's cousin) came over and the two of them had a "whale" of a time (Morgan had a little more fun than Tracen, but it was exciting none the less).  They splashed and played and got soaking wet.  No one wanted to quit, but with nap time approaching, the fun had to be saved for another day!  There will definitely be many adventures in our whale pool this summer!

Tracen's first prayers

The day after Tracen's birthday (5/6/08), we went into his room to say prayers before we put him to bed like we always do.  However, this night Tracen gave us a surprise.  When we told him that we were going to say prayers, he folded his arms and began praying (in gibberish).  It was so cute and when we congratulated him for saying his own prayer he thought it was funny and kept doing it, thus allowing me to get it on video.
