Ryan's 1st Rhino adventure
The 1st time I've ever shared a mostly naked picture of Ryan to show you how cute and chubby he is. What? That's not the first time I've done that?? Oh well, enjoy another picture of fat and naked Ryan.
The 1st time I've had a 7 year old
Her 1st day of second grade
Ryan's 1st time eating corn on the cob
Tyler's 1st soccer game--check out the aggression on his face.
Perhaps we should work on that...
On his way to his 1st goal
(and definitely not his last, that kid is on the ball at all times)
The 1st 22 foot tall lighthouse Jeremy has ever built
(it was a team effort)
(and it probably won't be the only one, he builds a lot of random stuff)
Jeremy's (and teams) 1st time figuring out how to assemble
and erect a 22 foot lighthouse that was built in pieces.
A few other firsts that are unaccompanied by pictures:
-This last week is the 1st time I've had so many behavioral issues with Tyler that I'm ready to give him away. He has not been his sweet, normal self--I think he's mad that he doesn't get to go to school yet. Is it too early to start telling him Santa won't come if he doesn't shape up?
-Another 1st: Last week my kitchen flooded due to a busted washing machine hose. Thankfully it burst sometime in the early morning so we caught it before the water got too very deep and spread too very far.
-That same day was the 1st time I was glad that Jeremy has a lot of stuff in our garage--like a shop vac. The 1st time I've been grateful for a shop vac (probably not the last).
And finally, unfortunately, not a 1st:
This is the third time Alexis has had a beginning of the year school assignment to decorate a paper doll to look like herself. Alexis loves this assignment and refuses all help, ideas or suggestions. Alexis' mother hates this assignment. What message would it send to her if I hang onto this doll so that she can turn it in next year, at the beginning of third grade, when I'm sure she will get the exact same assignment?

Good heavens Alexis looks so grown up in that picture! Second grade, it'll be a good one.
Loved this post.
Your kids are seriously getting huge!! I think we need to get together again...
That picture of Tyler chasing the soccer ball is HILARIOUS!!!
I would hold onto that doll, Lia turned hers in last week...
Holy Cow! What is the lighthouse for? Your backyard? Cause you're moving up here? Cause, they don't make paper dolls at Dallin's school! Fun post!
