A little winter this and a little winter that.

Hey Owen, let's make something special!
Ok Ryal, I have a great idea.
We just need a little mixing here and voila!

Wow Owen, you're amazing!
I know.

Let's try something with vinegar.

I need this to be bigger and messier!

Owen! I made a rainbow!
Cool, Ryal....now drink it.
You first.

Get closer Owen, it won't hurt you.

Happy Winter!

Goggles!

Grandma and Grandpa Hanson gave us swim lessons for Christmas this year!
We realize it's a bit early for Christmas. But this year we're all about experiences!
Not all experiences start after Christmas, so bring on the swimming.

Being good boys = GOGGLES!
We've been practicing in the bathtub.
Mom says 65 degrees is too cold to have the pool in the backyard.
We say....preschool polar bear club!
Bring it on!

1st Day of School!

Mom has some summer blog posts that she really needs to catch up on. But for now...Today was our first day of school! Mom did all the crying. Ryal told her there was no crying in preschool...well really he didn't, but he would have if he could have even taken the time to say good-bye to her. Poor woman was a wreck!

How did I do?
Mom said she wishes she could have put the evidence in my scrapbook.
I said, too bad I put it down the floor vent!

She shoots, she scores!!

We went to see our cousin Gracie in the state trap shooting competition. We had just two questions.....Where's the 4 year old division? And....are there snacks?

Our new bikes!

Mom and Dad gave us bikes for our birthdays this year.
We're still practicing braking and aren't allowed to leave the driveway,
but we can smell the freedom!

Freedom??
What are you talking about Owen?
I think that's dog poop.

Hey....you smelt it, you dealt it!
