Love My Boys!!

So we have new pictures to show and lots of new stuff to blog about but first I wanted to write some fun stuff about the boys.  Brody loves music! We have dicided this because he always seems to be dancing or singing. His "singing" is yelling, and sometimes that is really all it is. But when there is music on, any music, he will yell as loud and as long as he can. It really sounds like he is saying "Ya, ya, ya, ya". Since he can't talk yet. But it is adorable. In the car with the radio on he is the loudest I think and will "sing" for an entire 20 min drive to Seattle. Another thing he does is dancing. We will be walking somewhere and all of the sudden he starts doing this bounce walk. It looks like a mix between squats and a hip hop move. I call it his hip hop walk, and it is always random. Sometimes I think he has music playing in his head.
Brody is also the biggest tease. If you say lets go brush your teeth he will follow you to the bathroom, watch you get the toothbrush all ready and then open his mouth, just as you are about to put it in, he will run away laughing. He thinks he is so funny. Another of his favorites is to act like he is going to give you kisses. He leans in and then turns his head and laughs. He has the cutest smile and laugh that you cannot even be upset because he is so proud of himself for teasing you. The only time it is difficult is when you are out and he is walking and decides to run the other way. We take the stroller almost everywhere with us because he is easy to loose when he starts that at a store or somewhere like that.
He also, of course, wants to be just like his big brother Clayton. He follows him everywhere in the apt and does just what he does. When Clayton gets put in timeout it is as hard on him because then he doesn't have anyone to play with and he usually gets more upset than Clay.
Clayton is very good at being a big brother. He is very helpful and mot of the time will let Brody play with him. He is very smart, and has his dads strategic mind. We have a game like Risk on our phones and he can play it by himself and win! Ryan is quite the proud dad when that happens. He has also become our little explorer, he lives to check things out and create things. His latest is "traps". He will use all of his ropes and tie them from shelf to shelf in his room so that no one can get into his room. Except Brody, he always leaves room to crawl under. After he has the rope zig zagged back and forth he puts his scariest toys in the rope to stop you. His snakes and dinosaurs are usually the ones he uses. Every time we go camping he wants to make traps and catch an animal, more to keep than to kill though. The last time he made a squirrel trap, that ended up being called the Restraunt. He had tables and a ton of pine cones in there, and even snuck some cheese in there, which attracted a few squirels and he was very excited they liked his "Restraunt". He is always trying to use new big words that he has heard, and they usually end up being hilarious. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any off the top of my head, but I am going to try to be better about writing things like that down. He has started reading, I think mostly thanks to grandma, and will randomly tell us something that he can only have known by reading. 
I love having boys, they really are the best.  I could not imagine life without these two, they really are amazing.  This has become quite long, I am procrastinating cleaning the house, so I will end it now... to be continued......
