Playing Outside in January!

We got lucky around here and finally broke the horrible freezing weather streak we've been having. Today the temperature got up in the 50's! We took advantage of the sunshine and got outside!


Grayson riding his tricycle. I think it's time we move up to a bike.

He went down "the hill" and lifted his feet off the pedals and took his hands off the handlebars! Total Evel Knievel!



He told me to "wait right here." He was going to chase the dogs. 

 I'm not sure what he was telling me here. But he was really into it!

 Grayson and Harvey. They are best buddies. Harvey's tongue looks huge!
   


I only got two decent pictures of Jackson. I was too busy trying to keep him from shoving leaves into his mouth.

Busy bees

Wow! I have been so busy so far this year! My new position as Public Relations Coordinator has kept me on my toes!  I'm in the middle of planning 2 events for work and a couple of events that aren't work related at all. One of them being Jack's 1st birthday party! I can't believe he's almost a year old!
Last night, we all sat in the floor and he walked back and forth between Chris and I. I was too in the moment to get the camera out, but I'm sure there will be more opportunities soon!


And now, with out further ado. The moment you've been waiting for! Here are a few pictures so you can get your fix of my adorable kiddos.

Back to the real world

Christmas proved to be an amazing time for us as a family this year.  We had already taken all of our Christmas decorations down, but they hadn't been put away yet. Today, we got it all out of the house and up for the year.  It was alot of work, and I don't know how or why people would want to put up 4 or 5 Christmas trees! Too much to take down! Yuck!
This week the Ragsdales went back to normal life.  I went back to work (where I got a promotion! Can I just throw that in there? Woohoo!) and Grayson goes back to school tomorrow.  It's kinda nice to get back into a normal routine.
Today was spent cleaning: steaming the carpets, mopping the floors, laundry, all while corralling the boys and dogs and keeping everyone entertained.  Needless to say it is now 9 o'clock and the boys have been in bed for an hour - and no one has gotten up at all.  :) Ahhh.....relaxation....
And now for your viewing pleasure, here are some pictures of the boys taking their very first bath together tonight.

I love this. Brothers.


Sweet Baby Jack - dirty, but still sweet
