boys

Andrew has always done things in a very 'boy' way. When he was about two, we were at my nieces house and he found a wagon full of stuffed animals. There was one doll tucked in the middle and he pulled it out and tossed it before pulling the wagon around. He's been boy-ing things ever since.

Here his is playing with a Barbie camper. He saw it and said 'oh look at that semi truck!'. Then when grandma asked him if he wanted a doll to drive it, he just kind of looked at her with a blank stare. Then she told him there was a boy one and then he decided it'd be a good idea. So I dug though about 30 Barbies to find the 2 Kens down at the bottom. :)

This was Mason's first attempt to ruin some of grandma's things. Luckily the highlighter he got away with was all dried up! That could've been bad news!

Andrew went out with Matt and grandpa to move some tractors and came back with a rock, a stick and a big rusty bolt.

And Mason's second attempt to leave his mark. He was carrying a bag of pretzels and decided to dump them out. Then he spread them around, then stepped on them. I guess it's a good thing he's cute. :)

I had to throw this picture in here for two reasons. One - it's cute. Two - Andrew is playing with a transformer! We went through Matt and AJ's old toys and the boys scored some awesome new toys (tractors and tow trucks made of metal!). They're taking over our whole house so I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to follow.
