Teague was a rock star at the dentist today! Alex was having trouble so we decided to let Teague go first. He got shy and did not want to get into the chair – until I mentioned those new teeth of his (all four 2 year molars are currently coming through). He immediately opened his mouth wide and wanted to show them off. He had a full cleaning and was fine with every aspect of it – thank goodness!

Struggling to wake up from nap.
Nap.
Making stew.
The love of Biscuit is being passed down to Teague.
This boy loves being in the shop with his Daddy.
Teague needed a hammer – just like Alex and Daddy.
Car wash kind of day.

Brothers.
Joyride.
It’s official. Everyone on the street (including Grant) now knows how to operate the motorcycle. Look out pedestrians.
Backyard fun.

You take them to the park and the biggest hit is the water fountain…
Alex was really sad when we finally had to say goodnight to his roly-poly bug and go inside.
Someone missed his car while we were gone.
We tried for a cousin picture again. Again Alex was pitching a fit at holding the baby (even with all the bribes we were offering). Wade plopped Mackenzie in Teague’s arms and he snuggled and cuddled and loved on her so sweetly. He held her gently and kissed her head. He never squeezed or moved enough to upset her or even change her position. Amazing!
Alex loved playing on the diving board but didn’t actually jump off of it – maybe next time he’ll be able to swim to the side.
B and lap full of grandkids.
S’mores.
Cousins (before all the adults are awake).
Muscle man. (There was a lot of extra toilet paper left over from the games at the holiday picnic and Wade put it to good use making Alex some “muscles”.)
Cowboy.
Waiting on customers.
Feeding the ducks (or rather the geese).
We made it to Gram’s house just in time for bed. Alex picked one of my childhood favorites – The Cat In The Hat Comes Back.
Teague’s first zoo class, Zoo Music, was a hit!
When I look at this picture, I see Abram driving the rocketship and Alex in the passenger seat reading a book. That’s my boy!
I am amazed at the things Teague will let Alex do to him….
Alex was so excited for his first sleepover. He had his backpack ready for Abram’s almost from the minute he woke up this morning.
Although Teague wasn’t happy about being left behind, Daddy had him laughing by the time I got home from taking Alex to his sleepover.
Wade finally decided to toss my old laptop. He salvaged the RAM and hard drive and was getting ready to throw the rest in the trash. I knew of a much better use for it. Alex loved his new laptop and played on it all day.
Just an afternoon tromp through the dog park – thankfully Wade reminded us all to wear boots for the mud!
Our neighbor gave us an assortment of greens from his garden and Alex ate them in a sitting (with no dressing or toppings).
Teague learned to blow bubbles at the pool today!
Fun with friends in the sand!
(Alex, Riley, Glenna, and Teague)
After dinner entertainment.
A stormy, rainy day seemed perfect for staying in pajamas and playing play dough.

Best buddies.
What else are big brothers for but to convince you to put a plastic bubble on your nose?
We bought this pool at the end of last year and Alex has been asking to blow it up ever since (including the dead of winter). Finally today we tried out the lion pool. I didn’t realize it was going to be smaller than our old giraffe pool (or maybe it’s just that Alex is bigger?).
We moved the pool party to the backyard!
Teamwork.
This scenario started with Alex playing cars. When I walked by later there were suddenly two chairs and two little boys. I’m pretty sure Alex had to have helped Teague move a chair over – what a great big brother!
Teague and his first love.
Someone had a little fun with the shaving cream.
It looks like a sweet hug, right? They were actually running around trying to pick each other up.
He looks so much older than 4 in this picture (at least to me)!
