Room Sharing

I can tell the fun is just beginning...

Last night, at about 10pm, Justin went to investigate the commotion that was going on in the boys' bedroom. Apparently the baby was tossing his stuffed animal out of the crib. Jericho would then retrieve the toy and throw it back in the crib. Then he would yell, "There you go, Buster!" Ransom, of course, thought this was hilarious and would squeal in delight. Then the whole charade would once again repeat. After Justin asked Jericho why he was out of bed, the reply was, "The baby won't go to sleep!"

Indian Girl

Today Hero had a Thanksgiving feast at school. She got to dress up as an Indian, and she participated in the Thanksgiving program all the classes put on. She even got to lead the pledges before the program. (On a side note, I got up at 5:30am and made mashed potatoes for the feast. They had so many mashed potatoes, they didn't even use mine. Guess what's for dinner?!)

First Lost Tooth

Hero lost her first tooth tonight. Daddy loosened it up quite a bit, but she eventually pulled it out herself.

First Birthday Party Photos

First Birthday

Today was Ransom's First Birthday. We will be having a party for him on Saturday, but we had to do something special on the actual day.


Ransom and his Birthday Pie

Yep, he liked it.

Ransom got to open his present from Grandma "Ravenne". One of the gifts was a touch and feel book of baby animals.

His favorite page was the one with the fuzzy lemurs.

Tent

The kiddos and I made a tent in the living room on Saturday. Ransom, of course, did not want to be left out of the action. He kept climbing all over them while they watched their video. Jericho seemed to be the least thrilled by this.

"Can we go now?"

"What do I do with this thing?"

Tossing the beanbag

Pointing out that two of the balls made it on the red.

Jericho Safari Pics

Jericho had a great time with his friends at African Safari. He spent the first part of the night with Michael and Mitchell and the rest with his good buddy Drake (above.)

Jericho's favorite game was fishing.

Here he is getting ready to toss the bean bag.

Jericho and Drake wait in line to pick a duck from the pond.

Ransom Safari Pics

He was very glad to be out of the nursery and free to roam around. He was a lion, by the way.

His favorite game was digging for buried treasure.

He didn't care for the treasure too much. He liked the hamster bedding more and decided to climb right in.

I gave him a wrapped sucker thinking that he would enjoy playing with it. He ended up unwrapping it and eating some of the wrapper along with the candy!

Video Games

Ransom likes to "play" vido games with his brother.
