A conversation with Granddad

The boys have hilarious conversations all the time. I thought I would share this one that occurred during dinner earlier this week as it keeps making me laugh when I think about it:

Peyton: Granddad do you like mustard?

Granddad: Yes, I do like mustard.

Jackson: Do you like Gorilla Cheese (it's Grilled Cheese, but apparently this is how it translates to 2.5 year olds)

Granddad: I do like Grilled Cheese - sometimes I eat two.

Peyton: No Granddad you have to eat them one at a time!

Winter fun

I'm behind on updating my blog, but we've been busy.
Brett has about six doctors he sees and rather than have appointments all year round I jam them all in a two-week time period. He has to see most of them every six months so I feel a few busy weeks a year is better than doc visits all year round! So that has kept us busy. And great reports all around for Brett!!!
But we've been having a lot of fun too!

Before Grammy and Poppy headed back home :(We miss you) we took a trip to a pretty fancy children's museum. The entire museum is a miniature main street for children complete with a grocery store, car wash, nursery/child care, vet, library, sandwich shop, home under construction, music room, water room and a special Curious George exhibit. It's all their size and all hands on for development and learning. Poppy, Auntie Kiki and Auntie Nancy all came along and we had a blast:

Brett loved Curious George and practically jumped out of his chair

Brett got out of his chair for a closer look

Jackson and George are old buddies

We've had some beautiful snowfalls in the last two months and while we are always thankful for our awesome aunties I am especially grateful when they come over and say "lets play in the snow". I am not a huge fan of being cold or cold and wet. But they get us out there and the boys LOVE it and I always end up glad we did it.
