The Sugar:
* snuggler/cuddler
* 2 naps a day
* can gnaw anything with his one bottom snaggle tooth
* layed back, easy going, will let anybody hold him
* super smiles, contagious laugh
* plays contently
* can suck a pacy like nobodies business
* has irresistible thunder thighs and squeeshy cheeks
* can't say the word no yet
The Spice:
*does NOT adjust to change well. Example: crying hysterically like his arm was just chopped off due to going in the chapel for primary program practice instead of in the primary room like normal.
* the song Hot n Cold fits his personality to a T
* MUST have a treat while shopping at any store. Tried to ween him of this last week and as a result, a shopping cart half full was left at Walmart because of above mentioned, hysterical crying.
* loves to say the phrases "it's my turn" and "that's not fair"
* insists on wearing the same 3 outfits ever day no matter where we are going.
1. royal blue shamu Sea World shirt with green basketball shorts
2. black Diamondbacks shirt with black basketball shorts
3. is a tie between Children's Place "tiger shirt" or "basketball shirt" with ... grey basketball shorts.
* says mom about a 1,000 times a day. I know, I counted!
* refuses to go or do anything by himself... even in his own house sometimes. I envy parents with social, fearless kids. Hopefully sugar will pull through for me!
It's so important to have the phrase sugar and spice and everything nice as a constant reminder for me everyday. It's funny because I consider Casey and I as Sweet and Salty. I for sure have the sweetest husband... I am most definitely salty! Thank goodness for good mixes. I crave them all!

Some kids are definately sugar and some are spice.

yikes.
darling boys.
fo shizzle.
haha... this was too funny. How do you think of these things? I feel like my blog is always just "what we've been doing" and yours are so creative. I'm a bit worried because Collin seems to follow after Lane. At least you have a "sugar" to follow him up... I have no idea what I hold in utero. Just this morning, Collin had a HUGE tantrum because I took off his bib, to change his clothes and for some reason he wanted that bib ON! He also must have snacks at the store. Not easy going.
Of course we will love doing the sites 101 times! :) I'm already planning and Trav is very excited because I making a dish he's been begging for, for months, when you guys come. Only for special occasions :) And yes, dress warm! It's a bit nipply out here! :)
Cute post :)
HAHA I love this!! We kinda experienced it just tonight! You are the bestest! Hopefully Lane lets me pick him up on my scooter after all :]
OH MY GOSH Rusty is so big and your kids are too cute. Okay I thought Ryder was the only annoying kid that said, "mom" 1,000 times per day. Sadly I can't EVER handle it. By the end of every single day when he says, "mom" I answer with a loud obnoxious rude, "WHAT!!!!" But he doesn't catch on to the fact that I'm severely annoyed. HA! Literally...it's 1,000 times per day. No exaggeration.
Shelley, I love all your updates. And your family pictures are ADORABLE!! Little Rusty is sure cute- I can't believe how much he has changed since the last time that I saw him via blog:) But he is a cute little guy!
And if that swing goes on Craigslist...ya better let me know! I am impressed with Caseys skills. The house we are renting in Payson has a porch swing and it is the BEST thing. We seriously sit out on that thing all day just watching the kids run around in the yard, but it is not nearly as cute as the one you guys have!
