3 Year Check Up

Griffin had his three year old check up today.  He did great, but that is not surprising because he loves going to the doctor.  All my kids do...a little strange, but they do have a great doctor.

Gman's stats are :

Height:  40 inches -  95%

Weight:  37 1/2 pounds - 92%

BMI:  16.47 - 65%

He is definitely a Mikel through and through.  We are taking bets now on his football career...Alabama or BYU?

Sunny's Baptism

My Sunny is getting baptized.  I made these invites and should be getting them mailed out this week.  Just in case I procrastinate (not that I would ever do that :), or in case I miss anyone...consider yourself invited.  

Tennis Lessons

 I signed Sunny up for tennis lessons this summer with her good friend M.  They had a great time.  This was Sunny posing before her first lesson.

 She couldn't resist a dance pose.

She really reminds me of Aunt Terry in this picture.

  Sunny really enjoyed tennis and found out that she is really talented at serving.  Next year she wants to take lessons for 2 weeks instead of just 1.  Maybe we have a little tennis star in the making.

Lazy Days

We have spent many days this summer playing out in the front yard. I love to watch my kids play with all their friends.  I can't believe this is our last week of vacation!

The Lake -- Part 1

 There is a super cute little man made lake near my Mom's house.  We have gone there several times this summer and the kids love it. (Hence the reason for The Lake part 1 and part 2)  We just have lots of pictures and they are all adorable.

 I love how Griffin loads himself up with gear.  He should definitely float!

Cameron really liked it, but he got nasty crawling around in all that sand.  I am still finding sand in my car and in my washer and dryer.

I have lots and lots of blogging to catch up on, including Griffin's birthday party.  He is having the "best birthday ever" and he couldn't be happier.  He even has Uncle B.J. here to celebrate with him.  It doesn't get any better than that!

Sharing

 This is a funny sequence I happened to catch on camera the other day.

Both boys started out playing nicely with the wipes case.

 Cameron grabbed it. Henny didn't know what to think about that.  After all, it is his wipes case.

 Cameron found the whole situation amusing and decided to knock Henry over.

 You can't really see it, but Cam is laughing through all of this.

 Henry tried for the wipes one more time.

 He made a last ditch effort to stop Cameron from crawling away with the prize.

But Cameron crawled away, stood up, and then walked over to Henry waving the wipes case in the air and laughing.  This battle goes to Cameron.

(FYI, if Cameron decides to take something, Henry is pretty much out of luck because he can't move as well yet.  However, he does have a secret weapon...he just doesn't always use it.  If Henry starts growling loudly, Cameron will drop whatever he has and run away.  He is super scared of that noise.  Once Henry figures that out, he will have it made.)
