Rogan Tries to Crawl!

>> Sunday, February 8, 2009

Rogan is trying to crawl. He is able to get his legs underneath him, but it takes a lot of effort. He'll figure it out, if he can ever stop laughing long enough. He laughs all the time. It's hilarious. He's so cute.

Aquarium

>> Thursday, February 5, 2009

I took the boys to the aquarium today. It is supposed to be 60 degrees but it is really windy so we decided to do something indoors. Brice loves the aquarium and I like it too because he takes a very good nap afterward. I forgot my camera, of course. I tried to take a few photos with my phone. Most of the photos are blurry because my phone does not have the shutter speed my camera has and Brice rarely stands still for more than a millisecond.

Also, Rogan is almost 7 months old. He is going to start crawling any day now. He pushes himself around the livingroom but has not figured out how to get his legs underneath him so that he can really begin to move. He is still trying to get his first tooth. You can see the little white tooth starting to show through his gum but it hasn't come through yet. His favorite activity is to watch his brother do anything. Brice is his constant entertainer. Even though Brice pays little attention to him, he is very interested in everything Brice does. Someday Brice will realize he has a captive audience and his showing off will never stop.

Playing in the snow

>> Wednesday, January 28, 2009

We got a couple of inches or so of snow last night so we were able to get out and play in it this afternoon. Brice and I had a fun snowball fight and he enjoyed pushing it around the drive way. The grass isn't really covered so we couldn't play in the yard. Rogan had fun watching us from the front door in his jumper. Brice took his rubber snake outside to play in the snow. Rubber snakes pretty much go everywhere with us. We have scared the life out of people in Wal-Mart and the grocery store with rubber snakes.

Ice Storm

>> Tuesday, January 27, 2009

We've been getting ice since yesterday at noon. Everything is closed and we're holed up inside, except for Brian of course, he had to go into work. He needs a job that gets snow days :) This stuff is supposed to continue throughout the night and into the morning. We finally got a little bit of snow on top of it so it is a little less slippery. By this weekend we're supposed to be back to almost 60 degrees. Crazy Oklahoma weather.

Elmer Fudd

The resemblance is striking!

We had a very lazy weekend at the Mitchell house. It was wonderful. Brian took the weekend off and we just hung out. It was cold here so we watched movies and lit the fireplace. Today we did venture outdoors and took the boys to Bass Pro so Brice could see the fish and climb all over the ATVs. It was an uneventful and perfect weekend. Brice picked out a pop gun at Bass Pro and has been hunting his rubber snakes this afternoon. Enjoy the pictures.

Just a few pictures

>> Friday, January 16, 2009

It's been really cold here lately so we have been home most of the week. I've had my camera out and have tried to take a few pictures. Brice is wise to the camera and when it comes out he runs for cover. He'll sometimes let me take one or two photos, if I'm lucky. Today I asked him to let me take a picture of him and he sat down in front of the buffet table. I asked him to smile and this is what I got...
