Garren learned a new trick while we were at my moms. He sticks his arm straight up & waves, then he claps his hands. It is so funny because he gets so excited when he does it. Apparently though he is only doing this for new people or at least people he doesn't see everyday (he doesn't do it just for his moms.) So I have not been able to catch it on camera yet but, I had to document that it's happening, maybe I can get a photo by their 10 month update which is just 4 days away (I better get writing!!!)
He was flapping his hands right before I took this photo... I tried!
He's cute anyways & growing a ton of hair recently.
Friday, while we were at my mom's, a friend of hers came by to meet the boys. She was a very very friendly lady & she brought some fresh, organic beets & carrots from her garden.
I hadn't really thought about giving the boys beets but, Donna & I both love them, so my mom steamed them up & ran them through her food processor for the boys. Well the boys LOVED them!!! For their first taste I just gave them a taste in between bites if their actual dinner. The next night I mixed in some turkey & fed it to them for dinner. Well after having to bath each of the boys after dinner I decided we would just give them beets as a side dish, they are SUPER messy!!!
This past weekend we took a little trip to south Georgia to see Nana & Papa (my mom & step dad.) We wanted to get the most of our long weekend so we decided to leave Thursday night after Donna got off work. We fed the boys & the pups dinner, let them play a little bit & then gave the boys their bottles. As soon as they finished their bottles we loaded everyone up & hit the road. We left about an hour later than we had planned but the drive went great! The boys slept the whole way, we just stopped for bathroom breaks & gas. The boys had a little trouble settling back down after we arrived but they weren't too bad considering we had to set up the pack & plays before we could put them to bed.
We had a fantastic visit with everyone. Saturday my sister, brother in law & nephew came up to visit too. The boys got a lot of cuddle time with everyone & the pups goy to run & run & run. (my parents have lots of land) Chandler, my nephew was extra snuggly too. He's never really climbed up on me to hug or be held & he did this time :) While we were there Kellan really mastered his crawling.

We decided to drive home at night again & did the same as when we drove down, only this time we got on the road just before the boys bedtime instead of just after. This got us home at 1am instead of 2:30am & we had the same results with the boys sleeping the whole way & they went right back to sleep when we got home :)
