Starving Actors

Recently Mama Rae and Twampa Dale flew to Florida to see Mickey Mouse.  Rock really thought he was going to get to tag along, and wasn't cool about not being invited.  He tried to think of how he could make them take him with them, and the best he could come up with was to hide our camera in their luggage.  I'm not quite sure what he thought that would accomplish, but that doesn't change the fact that the camera was in Florida for a week.  Now that it's back we can access the adorable pics that were on it.  

The boys found some artsy hats and pretended to be struggling artists.  That's why Ryker doesn't have a shirt on.

The older Ryker gets, the more he looks like Grandpa Myron.  The hat makes him a definite doppelganger.

The boys sure do put on a good show.

 Ryker loves to show off his chiseled abs and beefy thighs.

 Rock wasn't sure if he wanted to be an artist or street performer.  He pretended to use my mini board as his drum.

 Ryker loves painting and making awesome stuff.  Too bad his mommy didn't let him paint the bedroom wall.

 Lil' Ryker saw me lower the blinds one night and decided that he had to have the string.  He stood right on the edge of the couch and reeaaaccchhhheedd as far as he could.  He did finally get a hold of it, but by then couldn't remember what he wanted to do with it.

DeA has been talking about starting some sweet action sweet family traditions, and one thing she's wanted to do is make General Conference weekend extra special.  Lucky for us she decided on making her awesome caramel cinnamon rolls.  Rock loved helping her with the 'steam roller'.

Ryker really wanted to help and even brought over his own chair.

"Come on, guys, let me help!"

Rock was proud that he didn't get his hat dirty.  He didn't care about the other stuff.

Ryker really liked his job as taste tester.  He thought the dough tasted a little raw, but loved the brown sugar and white sugar and butter. 

Well, other stuff happened for a week, but we don't have that stuff on film.  Eventually Mama Rae and Twampa Dale got back from Florida with some cool stuff, like an authentic Sheriff Woody hat!  Rock has worn it everywhere, except to church.  When we got to church Cole was wearing his cowboy hat, and so Rock demanded to know why he couldn't wear his.

Ryker's been on a little growth spurt lately that has made his clothes a little short on him.  The positive thing is that his belly is so cute and raspberry friendly.  

DeA introduced the boys to artichokes tonight.  She tried to convince them that they were the greatest thing ever.  I don't think they completely bought it.

Ryker really thought he would like the giant weed.  

After he wasn't so sure, and for good reason
