bowie sings ryder dances!

ryder has been doing this funny shoulder shimmy when he dances while eating in his highchair.  i tried to get it on video, but bowie started singing instead and this was too cute!

the dead south!

our new jam on repeat these days...

"in hell i'll be in good company" by the dead south

and i like this cover of "house of the rising sun"

happy anniversary!

happy anniversary to these lovebirds!  44 YEARS!!!! 

he melts my heart!

he has me wrapped around his little paw...

happy retirement!

congrats to my mama on her last day of work!!!!  excited for this next chapter for you and dad, he better hurry up (only a few more weeks for him).  excited for a fun party in october and to see more of you in washington!  we love you!

necklaces!

getting back into the swing of things after traveling and bowie requested to make some necklaces.  easy because i had it all prepped and ready to go for our vacay, but she never got around to playing with it.  using some pony beads, air dry clay beads and cut up paper straws!

swim lessons...

we have been doing swim lessons all summer, for over 3 months straight now.  bowie has loved it, especially when she gets to do jumps!!!  ryder is kind of indifferent, but he definitely does not enjoy it as much when he has a male swim instructor.  the times he has had a female teacher he does not complain as much, participates mores and blows them kisses.  but they both likes having grandma there to show off to a few weeks back.  bowie would stop and wave after every exercise and ryder was even blowing her kisses and waving from the pool.  this marks the last swim class for the season and we will pick it back up early spring, maybe sooner for bowie, who knows???
