Book Worm

Dane loves reading! Every minute of every hour of every day he is handing us books and saying "reee" "reee" If we don't do it right away, he will keep repeating it louder and louder until we give in. Every time Ryan walks in the door, Dane is right there waiting for him and makes him go straight in his room to either play basketball or read him a book. Sometime I don't even realize Ryan is home until I go in Dane's room to see what he is up to. Here is what I found when I went into DAne's room today...


After dinner, Dane kept pointing to one of Ryan's medical books saying "reee" "reee!" Ryan just ignored him figuring he would be happy with any book but Dane wanted that one! He kept yelling "Reee!!" louder and louder so finally Ryan sat down with Dane and read the book. Here Ryan is reading his First Aid USMLE book (a book to help him study for the boards). He would point out pictures and explain what they were. Dane would find a cell and yell "ball!" or he would find some other images that looked like it could be a monster or something and he would roar. Ryan was so funny, he showed him what his lungs would like if he smoked, taught him about lupus and what it looks like, and showed him a picture of some hands of a person with gout- i think Dane growled at that one too bc it was scary looking). It was a pretty funny evening.

Finally Back From Our Big Vacation...!!!

Ok, so we didn't really go on a vacation...I just haven't felt like blogging lately because I have NOTHING to blog about.

Last night we went to a restaurant/sports bar to watch the BYU game. Here are just a couple of pictures from the evening.

What do you do when you have one hand full of crayons and the other hand full of sugar packets???? Improvize. (going in for the kill)
Okay now that my mouth is on the cracker, how do I pick this thing up??? After making out with the cracker and the table I finally helped him out and picked up the cracker for him. You can't even imagine the puddle of slobber he left behind.
This kid loves to dip food. He kept dipping that same french fry and sucking the ketchup off before redipping.
Watching the game in his lucky game shirt.


This picture is from a couple of nights ago. He looks like he is in pain but really he is just scared of the vaccuum. He was walking by the vacuum and picked a fight but the vacuum won. This might have to be his new time out spot so I know that at least he will stay there as long as I want him to.
