More Fun with Grandma & Grandpa

Grandpa teaching the boys how to shoot army guys with rubber bands and pencils. 
 The boys could not get enough of this game!
 Logan's shoes, "pumpy shirt" and no pants...that's how Beau Beau rolls!
 BBQing with Sam and Emily!
 They LOVE roasting marshmallows!


 He thinks that no one noticed that he just snuck in the pool with his clothes on
Caught red handed!
 Loving being out in the fresh and rather warm air


 Chicken fight!



 Daners is the champion!




 Almost smiling


Logan lost another tooth!!! The very nice and generous Tooth Fairy brought him $5!!!

 We got this special Hot Wheels track for them to help keep them entertained since we knew there would be a lot of home time once Reid arrived. They could play with this track for hours!
 Grandma and Grandpa were the most amazing helpers as always! We are so incredibly thankful for all that they have done for us this past week! We love and appreciate them so much and are so sad to see them go. Now it is time to face the reality of having 4 crazy boys! Wish us luck...we need it!

Fun Times with the Bryners & Reid's First Bath

He is definitely in the "sleepy phase" and is eating about 1-2 oz every 2 hours. Sleeping about 4 hour stretches at night.
I just can't stop soaking him in and feeling so grateful that he is here safe and sound. He is such a precious little angel. In his short moments of awake time, he often is looking off beyond this world. The veil is still so very thin right now and he feels perfectly angelic as if he was delivered straight from my mom's arms to mine. I know she watches her grand babies in heaven and is very present especially during their first days on earth. I can feel her and I know my newborn babies see her. I LOVE newborn babies and the incredible spirit they bring into our home. I wish I could freeze time...this newborn phase seems to pass in a wink. This time around, I am trying relish in this moment more than ever. So grateful and am feeling so incredibly blessed to have another healthy, perfect, angelic, baby boy:)
 Water fight! The boys vs. Grandma & Grandpa and Sam & Emily





 First real bath


He was feeling a little unsure about this, but didn't cry once the whole bath. Which wasn't a surprise since this sweet little baby hardly ever cries (so far)!


Logan wanted to get in and help:)


 All nice and clean!
