The Mitchells: August 2008

My parents were here this weekend and we took the boys to the Tulsa Air & Space Museum. We took Brice once last year but I think he enjoyed it much more this time. He was able to participate in more of the activities.

The boys got to spend time with their grandparents this weekend while Brian and I went out to eat. It is very exciting to eat a meal without having to rush, apologize to the people next to you, or pick food out of your hair :)

Brian's store is coming along and should be opening about the middle of September. It is starting to actually look like a store now. The shelves are being built this week and the sign is up outside. He's really looking forward to it opening and it is keeping him busy.

Rogan

He's a month old already! Time flies by. Here are some pictures I took today. He's growing so fast. He no longer looks like the preemie we brought home from the hospital.

New Playground

Our neighborhood built a new playground around the corner behind our house. It's huge and I'm not brave enough to take Brice there by myself. He's too daring and I cannot keep up with him and Rogan. Since Brian came home early the other night, we decided to take Brice up there and check it out.

No Fear Mitchell, also does this little move on the top which is about 8 feet off of the ground. He likes to lean out as far as he can and watch mommy's face turn pale.

Brian spent most of his time climbing up and down the playground to make sure Brice didn't jump off of the top. Brice also got Brian to ride the merry-go-around with him. I cut Brian's head off in one of the pictures because I was laughing so hard I couldn't hold the camera still. Brian trying to peddle the children's bike was fun to watch! I'm sure Brian will be excited to know he made the blog!

The Zoo

>> Sunday, August 10, 2008

We went to the zoo again today. The weather was perfect, it was cloudy and only in the 80's. It was Rogan's first trip to the zoo, he wasn't too impressed. He slept the entire time. Brice sprinted through the zoo as usual. He is getting more and more difficult to get pictures of because he is constantly moving. I usually have my camera set on sport mode to even be able to get a picture of him. It was easier getting pictures of the animals this time than of Brice.

Here are a few pictures that we have taken over the last few weeks. It has been a blur so I am happy we caught a lot of it on film or video.

Rogan at 3 weeks

Brice at 3 weeks

He went on vacation and just wanted to look for seashells, instead we got him a little brother. What a souvenir!
