The little guys!

I let you know what the big boys were up to, but here are a few pics to show you what the little guys have been doing.

The pictures are a little out of order, but the twins have always been able to entertain themselves very well.  Lately, they've decided chasing each other with my pot holders are so much fun.  They put them on their hands and say "ROAR!" and then run through my house, squealing with delight.

Here's Mason posing with my most recent creation- a knitted scarf (stockinette pattern)

And here's Parker posing with my scarf...

And here's the two of them together, both wearing the scarf!

Like I said, the pictures are a little out of order, but this is what I did yesterday- I completely organized Todd's closet.  It was a total disaster! Crap all over the floor, nothing made sense, and I hated putting his clothes away because it was so gross.  So, while Todd was cleaning out my car to take to Bartlesville, I started cleaning out his closet. If I was smart, I would have taken pictures of his "before" and what it looked like having just about everything in his closet spread out all over our bedroom!

Mason (smiling) and Parker.  Anytime I get the camera out, they stand and smile for me!

Organized shoes! They were once all over the floor, and now they have a home! I even downsized my shoes so I could put my shoe rack in Todd's closet for his boots!

So not only did he have shoes all over his floor, but I (at some point, I don't remember when) started putting all of the electronic cords, and anything computer related on his shelves.  I organized everything by relevance, and put them in a set of clear drawers.  Need a charging cord for the computer? Bottom drawer!

Mason has started taking Todd's Mr.Dew out of the case, and stacking them up.  I totally busted him, so in this picture, he's putting them all back.


I like how in this one they both have their hands up, as if they're saying "no thanks, we're done, no more pictures!"


Can you see how Parker is getting ready to hit Mason with that oven mitt?

So that's what we've been up to lately. Oh, and things are changing for Todd and I in our roles at church.  I was released as the Young Women Personal Progress leader, and Relief Society (women's group) teacher, but I kept my calling as the Nursery Leader.  Todd was the 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum group, but was released and is the new Elders Quorum President.  He was immediately immersed with phone calls, and meetings, and moving people.  Basically, he'll be doing a lot more service oriented activities, and organizing them.  I know it will be a complete blessing to have him in this calling, and I'll support him all the way! Well, it's late, and I'd better get off of the computer. I'll be posting what we'll be doing the whole Summer long.  My list includes a lot of knitting! I'll be finishing up a baby blanket for Gunnar's baby doll, Baby Knucklehead, and I'm hoping to post more pictures of what we're doing this Summer! 

Schoooool's out for SUMMER!

My older boys finished school last week, and we had the last of their t-ball/baseball games as well, so I thought I'd post a few pictures of them on here.

Here's Gunnar with his Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Sloat, and his TA, Mrs. Seabolt (aka Miss Shelly).  I absolutely loved them so much! Mrs. Sloat came highly recommended, and I thoroughly enjoyed having Gunnar in her class this past year.  She was so thoughtful, understanding, and did a great job with my baby! He came away from her class with so much knowledge! I'm really going to miss her next year!


Todd and Gunnar.  Todd was an assistant coach on Gunnar's team this year. This was the last game of the season, and they handed out the team trophies that night as well. Go, Cougars!

Here's Gunnar on 1st base.  The kid loves to run!


My little slugger!


I love this photo! He played at the pitcher's position (the coaches pitch to the boys in this age group) and he caught the ball for an out, but immediately turned and threw it to first base and they got the 2nd out.  I'm so glad I caught his reaction to the double play!

Todd was also an assistant coach for Chase's team this year.  Same thing as Gunnar- last game of the season, handed out trophies that night.  Chase played on the same team as last year, and they really improved! Good job, Rangers!

So that's what the big boys have been up to lately.  We sat down the other day and made up our list of things to do for the Summer, and I'm sure I'll be taking pictures of that as well!
