A Great Movie

Spencer and I went on a date last night. It was so nice to be out of the house without the kids and spend some quality time together. We went to see Fireproof, which just opened last night. What a great movie! It's made by the same people that made Flywheel and Facing the Giants, two excellent movies.

We're going to Disney World!!!!

This morning we told Brendan the good news that we're taking him to Disney World for his 5th birthday in two weeks. The look on his face was priceless. I don't think he completely understands what we're doing, but he's still excited. We'll be staying two nights at a Disney hotel and spending one day at the Magic Kindgdom. They have some great Florida resident discounts going on in October, and we want to make sure we go there before we move back up North. Grant was a little confused by all the excitement this morning, but I think he'll have fun at Disney, too.

GeoTrax

One of Brendan's favorite toys is his GeoTrax train set. It doesn't bother me too much that it takes up the whole living room, because it keeps him occupied for hours.

Just Hanging Out

This was Grant's first time trying to color.
Brendan loves to color.
Grant's all ready to go to the park in his brand new tennis shoes.
It's almost impossible to get a good picture with both of them smiling and looking at the camera :).
Brendan has fun helping Mommy bake, especially when he can hold the mixer. He said these were going to be "the best cookies EVER".

I'm New at This

This is my first time posting anything on any blog, but I thought it looked like fun and a great way for long distance relatives and friends to keep up on what our family is doing and how the boys are growing. We're having a good school year so far. Spencer is busier than ever at the high school, and the boys keep me busy at home. We've started going to the library for reading times, one of Brendan's favorite weekly activities. We also started going to MOPS, one of Mom's favorite activities. Grant is now walking/running around the house, and Brendan is growing up so fast. This is his last year at home with me before he goes off to kindergarten. I can't believe he's that old already!
