Why Not?

Today the Belt on the Vacuume broke and I had to fix it. Gunner wanted to help so bad, he kept taking all my parts and tools away. Finally we got done and then I started vacuuming, and he kept walking in front of it, climbing on top of it, throwing things at it and trying to push it. Instead of getting upset I thought, WHY NOT? Why not let him help out a little. So this is Gunner doing his new chore, shirtless because he got too hot and took it off, typical boy! Side Note- Since the day they were born until present day my girls scream and run as far away as they can get from the vacuume, even when it's not on.

Another One Bites the Dust

How Is it that the more teeth they loose... the younger they seem?

Life These Days

Enjoying the little things in life, means that the highlight of my day was eating yummy pasta salad.

Stryker

STRYKER How Stryker got his name... well when you name your first son Gunner, you set the bar a little high. I went on the prowl looking for something equally as tough. I looked through tools, military websites, guns, the thesaurus, the encyclopedia, family geneology, cars, trucks, weapons. I came across the Stryker, the Stryker is a transport/combat tank used by the army. The way they describe it is Agile, fast and strong. A fleet of Strykers can quickly deploy a Combat Brigade, maneuvering nimbly, providing covering fire out in the open. It can be customized for a wide variety of missions, like Medical Evacuation, Engineering Squad transport, and Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) launches. As soon as I read this, I knew that is what I wanted my son to be. I told Adam, I don't really care for Stryker, but how about Ryker. Unfortunately we know a Ryker, and so Adam being Adam didn't think that was unique enough, and so Stryker was born.

Gunner loves to hold Stryker, and he tries to be gentle. He loves his little brother so much.

Another One Gone

Maddi lost another tooth. She has another two on their way, can't wait for those!

I knew this one was close and I tried and tried to get it out before the baby was born. Almost two hours after we left for the hospital, it popped out. So the tooth fairy had to find Maddi at Grandma's house.

More Stryker

Gunner loves his brother... he just wants to hold him. He tried for over an hour to climb in his bed with him this morning. He just kept looking over the edge and saying "Baby".

I was trying to make him look like Wolverine. I've never had a baby with this much hair... and I can't put bows in it... what's a girl to do?
