Yuskales Family Fun

Last Sunday we spend the afternoon at the Pierce's house with Great Grandma, Aunties Gwen and Ann, Bill, David, Erin and Lauren. Auntie Ann borrowed some toys from the neighbor, so the boys had lots of toys to play with. But Nick, he just wanted to play in the dog crates.  

Ben was soooooo tired. We put a movie in before dinner, and Ben was out cold on the couch within minutes. He slept through dinner.

Rosie, modeling her bling and doggles. What a pretty puppy!

Playing in Rosie's fancy crate...Had to try them both out

They Will Find A Way

'Oh no, mommy, we are just giving each other a hug. We aren't fight clubbing or anything.'

MmmmmmmHmmmmmm... They will find a way to wrestle anywhere.

"Camping" Little Boy Style

Great Grandma dug out a tent for the boys to play in. They 'went camping' and played in it most of Saturday afternoon. 

And of course it was a great venue for fight club.

Little Cheekers and Buggy

My nickname for Nick is Cheekers. His cheeks almost put Aunt Sarah's to shame, but they are not bigger than his forehead yet, so Aunt Sarah is still the cheek winner. And I still sometimes call Ben Bugga-boo, or Buggy for short. 

Gardening at Great Grandma's

The boys 'helped' Grandma with some gardening around the yard. Read: They dug some unnecessary and slightly dangerous holes and tore apart garden decorations. But they were having fun playing outside. 

A Little Dip

Nick dipping his tootsies into the Farmington River. All he wanted to do was get in the water, and this was the only way I could make him happy. 

Boy Vs. Marshmallow

After the fishing attempt, we went over to the camp ground. I had brought some marshmallows for Ben to roast. Luckily the camp ground allowed fires on Saturday - they had a no fire policy on Friday due to the dry conditions.

Ben lightly roasted a marshmallow for his brother. And so began the ultimate sticky mess...

Fishing

Saturday we went out to the river and the camp ground with Adam. The boys tried fishing, but the fish were not cooperating and were not willing to be caught. 

Road Trip!

Last Thursday, after work, we hit the road! We were headed to Connecticut for Adam's annual boy's fishing/camping trip and for a trip to Great-Grandma's. We drove half way (about 5 hours) Thursday, stayed at a hotel and drove the remainder Friday morning. Overall, the boys did very good in the car. As long as Nick had food and Ben had a movie or an iPod game, we were golden!

We got to the hotel in Milesburg around 12:30 Thursday/Friday. The boys had been sleeping in the car for a few hours so when we got into the room, they were wired, especially Nick. He was all over Ben, bouncing/flopping on the bed. I got them both to sleep around 2. Awesome.

There are no words...He seriously balanced a cookie on the bottom of his foot and then ate it.

Swing, Swing, Swinging

Swing time at the park - note Nick's busted up eye!
