Shots, screams, and ice cream

Clayton had his kindergarten eye appointment (no glasses for him!) and his physical.  

He had to get shots.  It was the worst experience of my life....and I have had a lot of them.  It took 2 nurses and me to hold him down.  He was screaming and crying.  I was embarrassed and emotional.  I started crying.  He has never reacted that way to anything.  Next time Blake is taking him....

So the boys got to get ice cream for that traumatic experience. 

Wore him out.

My swinging boys!

The boys love their tree swing....today Sawyer decided he was old enough to swing by himself....and he was.  Crazy!

Canning....

Alisha and I worked hard today.  Canning peppers and our famous spicy bread and butter pickles!

Tractor Pulls!

Clayton was pumped for the Stanford Good Old Days Tractor Pulls this year.

Pure Excitement.  He wasn't feeling the greatest, but you wouldn't be able to tell.

The Kruger boys even came this year.  Clayton was so excited.

Love my little tractor pullin boy.

Cuteness on the way home!

Ozarks with the Kleins

We finally planned a trip with our friends the Klein's and their kids.  After Bear Bottoms yesterday we tried Captain Ron's with the kids!

the kids (and adults)

Loved the drinks.  You can even order on the beach!!!

My baby love...

I Dig You (on his shovel....perfect!)

Alice enjoyed the beach too.

It was unanimous...we all loved Captain Ron's!

Summer Baby

NO words for this cuteness.

Lesson learned today....Bear Bottoms is no place for babies and small children that out number the adults.  The stairs are fun for babies and treacherous.....stressful for the parents!

MY FARM BOY

Clayton and Cooper

These two are such buddies.  They play so well together and only get to see each other once a year!  This year Cooper is moving Florida...they are leaving today.  Both boys were in near tears as they were leaving...so sad.  I hope we still get to see Cooper once a year at the lake...or better yet we can visit them in FL!

'Merica

 

Busted!  Clayton and Cooper were testing Jim's beer tonight.  Blake spotted them so i went and took their picture.

they decided beer is pretty good.

I couldn't believe it.  To funny!  Don't worry they only had it on their fingers.

Best pic of the boys came off my phone....funny!

Best family picture!  Shows everyone's personality.  Sawyer is just so happy and Clayton is such a little stink.

Happy 4th from the Grieders!

Swimming all day long!

Clayton and his buddy Cooper next door when down our neighbors slide and diving board 700 times today!

Clayton was so scared a couple of years ago and now is a pro!

love those action shots! 

I think they only went off the diving board 400 times today.

I wish I had their energy!
