Yes, he's wearing some of his breakfast on his shirt :) I'm not sure if typical Kindergartner's are into trading pictures, but Adam was totally excited about trading pics today, but when i picked him up from school today he said noone had any pictures with them :( Adam likes school and almost always has something exciting to tell me when i pick him up. He's an observer and takes everything in. He has handled the adjustment very well, but i wouldn't say it's comfortable for him yet. Everything is still pretty new. I have really enjoyed getting to know the moms during pick up time, and the weekly prayer time at the nearby church. I'm discovering there are quite a few christian families in his class. That's such a blessing.
While it was still warm outside, i wanted to get an 18 month picture of Clay, a week or so early. After getting on and off horsey 15 times, he held still long enough to get a non blurry picture.
You can tell a lot about a child's personality from their first words. My other boys said "grandma" (me-me) and "baby" early on, as well as things they saw, like "moon", "star". Clay's first words have been more action oriented, his favorite words are "eat", "ride", "stuck", "uh-oh", and "ow", (like ouch).
Today he did the cutest thing that took me off guard. His version of baseball is he'll take a bat and hit a ball out of my hand. Well today he hit the ball, dropped the bat, and starting running in a big circle. Running the bases just like his brothers. Precious!
Might as well throw in a recent picture of the twins. Because i love those sweet little boys. 
They melt in your mouth! I made these a lot when we were first married, Rod loves shortbread. It's a little different now making them w/ kids, but they still taste the same!
Sunday eve we had a family reunion here, my grandmother's side of the family. There were around 50 people, the weather was so nice, praise God!
Rod is working on perfecting his chicken BBQ. It was good! he discovered the longer it sits on the roaster after being cooked, the more tender and better tasting it is. 
I so appreciate Rod's help these last couple weeks, i couldn't have done it all without his willingness to be with the boys, and help in other areas (like the dirty floors).
another fun time at the beach is in the books! i always think 3 nights should be long enough to get away, but it goes so fast.
Clay had a blast this year. He wanted to do everything his brothers were doing. He even got a free ice cream cone, just by walking up to Kohr's and giving them 'the look'. 
So glad my mom came again this year. the boys love their grandma!
Started reading the boys "charlotte's web". I loved this book when i was little. I told them i'll let them watch the video after we finish reading the book. Adam says "how many days does it take to watch the video?" 
I must say, the color pink was fun while it lasted! thanks to our neighbors, with twins girls who are Clay's age, for the loan :)
I think so!! 
This summer i had wanted to sign Adam up for a local baseball team, he shows much interest in batting and running the bases. Rod said not yet, but let's do regular games at home with them. It went in spurts, as summer schedules can get busy, but we fit in quite a few games of wiffle ball. They had a lot of fun with it, and probably learned more this way rather then being on a team, at this point. 
A selfish perk is that this is something they can do together without fighting. That's not always the case, much to your surprise i'm sure :)
Clay knows what to do and is very determined to do it!
I wonder how good J-roll and Chase Utley were at this age? I know, lots better then my boys...but let me dream.
