Lunch

Today at the lunch table this is what the conversation was:

Riley( as he is picking up his grape) " I love you grape but I have to eat you."

Taylor(as he is slinging his noodle across the living room) " Shit"

Riley (picks up his second grape) "Oh you are really a grand grape but I must eat you too."

Taylor (with a handful of noodles in his hand and throws them at Riley) "YEAH!!"

It was a wonderful and charming lunch we shared, thanks boys!

Splash park!!

One of the favorite things that the boys love to do is go to the new splash park in St. Anthony. It is totally free and has a playground, and a water splash pad. We have gone often and every time the boys get a little more daring in what they do. We were watching our friends daughter Lilee who just turned one, so we decided to head to the splash park, three kids in tow. ( I was pretty much in heaven having a little girl to dote around!) We all had a good time, although having a 12 month old, a 17 month old, and a 3 year old running around the park was a little hectic. Matt and I would often make eye contact from far away and then realize we were missing one. We both would scan the park and thankfully they never got loose.
Here is sweet Lilee with her new Barbie shades!

Riley decided he could climb the climbing rope tower, and did farely well!


Lily going wild in the water!

Okay I think I need a little girl!!!!

Need I say more....

Of course no outing would be complete without some fighting....

This is a late post, but I was reminded by my grandma that I have not posted pictures of the boys in their first wedding!

The Slice of Shoreview

We took the boys to the "slice" of Shoreview and they had a ball. They both rode many rides and Taylor even went on the big ferris wheel. The whole time he was saying, "WHEEEEEEE". Riley decided he was ready to do the bungy jumping. The age limit was 8, but Riley charmed the owner into letting him do it. He did great and was very proud of himself. An old man had an antique train that he pulled with his tractor. Each boxcar was only big enough for one child, so I put Riley in one car and Taylor in another. Matt and I watched as they rode the train, and then I noticed Taylor standing up in his boxcar. Then I noticed some bouncing in his legs, he thought he would try to leap off the car while it was in motion.
Here we are on the Flintstones ride, the only ride I could stomach.

This is the boys on the old mans' train. Shortly after this was taken Taylor was standing up and jumping!

Riley jumping on the bungy ride! (Notice the age of the kids waiting in line!)


Taylor loved the big slide, and Matt was a trooper he ended up going down several times.
