Day 39 | When they grow up...

"When I grow up, I want to be a famous Lego Builder.  If that backfires, I'll be an animal scientist.  If that backfires, I'll be a singer." 
~Cole Robert, 8 1/2 years old

"I want to be Jack Frost when I grow up. Then I'll have a staff, and I can make ice, and I can freeze my brothers." 
~Chase Ryan, 6 years old

"Ummmmmm...when I grow up, I want to be a different kid."
~Caden Riley, 5 years old
I love these boys!

Cousins -Outtakes

I took a few pictures for Gramma today.  Five kids.  Only one of them a girl.  Three Boyd boys who can't stand having their pictures taken.  It was really, really hard to get everyone going in the same direction.  (I bribed with candy, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to say naughty words.  My kids would do just about anything to say "butt cheeks" or "fart" without ramifications.  And let me be honest, by "once in a lifetime opportunity", I mean every time I try and get their picture.  They're on to me.)  Even with the green light to use toddler-type profanity, I still couldn't get picture perfection.  But the outtakes are pretty cute.
This might be my favorite picture of all time.
Why?  Why?  Why isn't Chase looking at the camera in this shot?  Why????

Tooth(less) & Photo a Day 28/365

Chase lost his first tooth today!  He is not quite six and a half years old.  His little tiny tooth was so loose!  I had him bite into an apple and viola...adios tiny tooth.  So exciting!!  
(And a little sad that he's growing up.)
Day 28


A little pouch that Gramma made to go under his pillow tonight.

 Such a big kid now!  And an excited one too! 
 He can't wait to see what the Tooth Fairy delivers tonight!
