Hey, Look! Two Posts Within a Week!!

Aaron must be sick or something!  Oh, and check out how cute these boys are!
I found some more pics from Mama Zista (but Rock actually says Lisa now, it's very sad) and Papa Dave.  We had ice cream cones one night.
Ryker loved it!
Rock had a blast with his grandparents here, can't you tell?
At one point Ryker bumped his head on the underside of the table and started crying.  Rock went and got help: a Band-aid.
Here are more pictures of Rock's golf outing.  
And here's me on the 3rd(?) hole.
Rock was good at checking out the tee boxes and making sure that there weren't any baby frogs.
He was also very good at lining up the shots for me.
When we made the turn for the back nine they gave Rock some "fish bread".  I know what you are thinking, "bread that tastes like fish?  Count me in!"  But it wasn't like that.
The lake fish would come munch on the bread!
Here's a video of said fish doing said activity:

Rock even got to drive the cart once in a while!
You can't see their faces, but it's a cute picture anyways.  Also, Rock might be picking his nose.

Boatload of Stuff

Holy cow, I get it.  I've been bad at updating the blog.  I have a good excuse, what with opening the new business and all.  But the boys have continued to be adorable, even when wearing their underwear wrong.
 Ryker's got some bumps and bruises on his cute face.  He had a fight with the stairs, and it looks like the stairs won this round.
Rock mastered climbing on to the roof of the playhouse.  He was pretty proud of himself.
But he also wore himself out.
After naps they munched some yummies from Grandma and Grandpa.
They both want to ride the four wheeler, so they finally compromised into a sharing agreement.  They ride it together until Rock pushes Ryker off of the hog.
Rock's cousins came to the lake to play with his uncle Dave.  He was happy to spend time in the water.
 He loved following his cousin and playing with her.  I guess she has a reputation for not being 'friendly', but she and Rock got along very well.
He likes spending time at the beach, because then he gets to ask where the weight room is.  Is it over there?
 He likes his guns.
The office has gotten off to a nice start, so we are very happy about that.  I really like having Rock and Ryker come visit me whenever they want.  Apparently Rock doesn't understand what 'business casual' means.
 He loves showing off his underwear hat.
 Meanwhile, we had a pretty cool evening down on the lake, and this was the sunset.  It didn't turn out well, but trust me it was awesome. 
 See!  DeA loves it!
So, I have so many pics that I have lost chronological order.  Here is Rock from his golf outing with Papa Dave, Aunt Windsey and Daddyo.  He like holding the flag on each hole.
 We got a good father and son pic with the lake behind us.  Special.
 After we all got done putting Rock got to take his turn playing the hole.  His tee box was a little closer than it was for the others.
 Here he was on a longer hole.
 He did get a little impatient waiting for us to finish.  Here he is trying to get Lindsey to hurry up and make the stinking putt!
 Here was one of his shorter holes.
"D'oh!  Too many muscles!" 
The school did a potluck to celebrate (wait, is that the right word?  More like commiserate?) the start of the school year.  They showed How to Train Your Dragon on a monster screen.  Rock made sure to make our spot with authority.
Ryker made sure to eat the Oreos with authority.
 Here's a better look of his scraped up nose from the fight with the stairs.
 Halfway through the movie Rock stripped his clothes off and started changing.  Once again he just wanted to show off the cannons.
 Rock went up to Stehekin with Papa Dale to check out Rainbow Falls.  He kept telling Papa Dale that it was the best water ever, and that he had to get a sip.
So he made sure to get a good sip.
"Ahh!!  Refreshing!"
Here's the whole crew that went up to the falls.  Intimidating.
"Whoa!  Check out that bighorn sheeps!"
All this being adorable really wears the boys out.

6 Years Baby!!!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess. She was the most beautiful ever.  Her name was DeAndra.  She married the handsomest prince ever.

Together they had two little boys, Rockimus and Rykemer. These were the most adorablest boys in all the land

Together they moved to Utah, Iowa, Oregon, Renton and then to Chelan. Everywhere they went she was still the prettiest princess ever.

She wasn't just the prettiest, she was also the kindest, sweetest and nicest princess ever.

Now they've been married six wonderful years, and I couldn't be happier.

I love you Sugar Boobs!

Lindsey Lu!!

Mama Rae and Papa Dale left for the Eastern Seaboard for a few weeks, but first Papa Dale took the boys to Company Creek.  Rock wasn't sure to expect, so he prepared himself for just about anything.
 After they left, Aunt Lindsey Lu flew into Wenatchee to help with the boys.  Rock came with me to pick her up.  Also, he wanted to watch Tangled.
 One of the first things we did is take Lindsey Lu to the Burger Barn for ice cream.
 The girls and Rock all enjoyed blue bubble gum ice cream.  Later they were concerned about blue 'stools', but that's wasn't until the next day.
 He likes his ice cream.
 All I asked him was to show me his face.  This is what I got.
 And this.
 Once the ice cream was gone the boys started playing in the dirt.  The ice cream worked as a great adhesive for the dirt to permanently stick to their skin.
The boys have been tuckered out, what with all the playing and stuff.
 Rock couldn't even make it through the front door.
 We took the boys down to Banjo Creek and let them play on the swings.  They loved the horse shaped rides down there.

They boys are spending lots of quality time in the water.  Ryker only wears the muscles to prepare himself for the future bicep growth.  Also, he can't swim, but mostly they are for the first thing I said.
 Rock always makes sure to grab the noodles.  He holds on to that and swims the length of the pool, just like Mark Spitz.
 No trip to Manson would be complete without a trip snake hunting.  We found one.
 The girls have also spent quality time cuddling.  Ryker is in charge of supervising.
 Rock found a new hat.  He like hats, even ones that might not even be hats.
We are about two and a half weeks away from football season!  Here's a little something to feed your football needs.
