Lights out!

Yesterday and today Brandon's school didn't have power, a huge storm took out power for over 4500 homes in the memphis area... (luckily our power was only out for 2 hours.) But because Brandon didn't have school that meant he was at home with us all day, AWESOME!! We have had so much fun having him home with us. We have been having a great time being able to spend some quality time as a family. Yesterday we went to the park and Brandon played disc golf with a friend while we walked with them. It was nice to get out and get some exercise. And then today we went bowling, this was Krew's first time bowling and he did a GREAT job. Every time we would try to help him he would say "No I don't need any help I can do it by myself." a few times he wanted to try with out using the ball ramp to help it roll, and he actually did fairly well. Gray even took a few turns and he actually got a strike. Gray is much better than me and he is only a year old. After Gray would roll the ball he would try to run after it. it was really cute he wanted to do everything by himself too. Here are a few pictures of these last couple of days.

When we were leaving the bowling alley the manager turned to Krew and said "would you like to take home one of the pins that you busted?" Krew was really excited and loves it except it's really heavy so he can only hold it for a few seconds.

Interview with Krew

Today we decided to have a little interview with Krew, he was being so funny and cute so we decided to record it. It reminds me of when I was little and my parents would record us having interviews with my dad after church. Here is the interview that we had with him.

Also lately Krew has been getting his play phone and saying "Super Why is calling" Then having a full conversation "with Super Why" I was able to catch a little of the conversation that he usually has. P.S. Super Why is a show on PBS.

"Bear"ton Graham Turns 1

A year ago Barton Graham Sloan was born. Here he is then:

And here he is now!

I can't believe how fast this year went by... It seems like just yesterday that we brought Gray home from the hospital, 6 lbs 15 oz, 18 1/2 inches. And now he is 22 lbs and 29 inches long and running all over the place, kicking balls, throwing balls, clapping, he says Mama and Dada he likes to tease me with this one every time I say "say Mama" he'll look at me and say "Dada" and then laugh. He has a big appetite he pretty much eats more than Krew at every meal. He loves to play with Krew and tackle him, he sure does love his big brother he follows him around EVERYWHERE!!

The following pictures are all from the birthday bash that we threw for him yesterday. It was so much fun to put together. As you can probably tell we centered it on a panda bear theme and trust me the cupcakes are way more work than they seem.
