OK. Here is my 5 year old! I often ask him how he got to be so big and he says, "I don't know, I just did!". I will ask him again tomorrow! :) This picture is so great because it is the cute serious face and "I'm so big" face. I love him.

Clayton. My big boy. The minute he woke up this morning he asked to play with Lego's. He built and played all day taking breaks to eat, nap, and go to his first eye exam appointment. It's dark and he is still building.......

I love the vehicle above. It was so many things today: garbage truck (in the pix), hay thrower?, a DNR, 90, bus for the famous TV family of 19, ARCO hay truck.....and a few other unknown. The role playing is so great. I love to sit back and listen to him play with the little people! The imagination of a 5 year old. Very cool.

Mr. Myles

I decided to grab my camera and take some pictures of the boys today and THIS is the pose I get from Myles ! What a cheeseball ! I have no idea where this came from but Clayton and I were about rolling on the floor laughing about this :) So we will see what kind of pictures we get of Myles in the near future. He may choose to pose this way for awhile !?!

So along with this I will share current Myles stats.

growing up happy and healthy !

Myles does most anything any other 1 year old does :) I was joking with a friend today about how we train our kids to do "circus tricks". We really do this !!! On demand, "pat-a-cake", "so big", "wave". Then we reward them with lots of cheers and smiles :) And then I put a bowl with a few cheerios in front of him on the floor occasionally for a quick snack ! For a moment I thought it was strange. Maybe it is ?

Babies are fun and so sweet. Time passes so quickly and this ring master of a mom is soaking up every moment with these boys !

Next up. Big boy, Clayton !

ok! yay! ( I am having my ah-ha moment that I am on the right track here !?!? ) One boy in bed fast asleep, and the other boy is out playing with the garden hose with Royce. I have a couple minutes to continue on with my new venture here ! I set up this blog page earlier in the day..........

Welcome to the Krummen 4 blog site ! I hope that we can share many joys with you :) I like the idea of keeping a journal but my pen has not been moving. So I am going to try blogging !

check back soon !
