Royce is 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! & San Diego post

this is our new table! Reyn's dad made it for us! We got to bring it back from San Diego this last trip! We love it! Dad Doug did a wonderful job with this! I think it is his finest work so far!


On our drive back to the condo from Coronado Island Royce sat in his car seat and read all about the car toys haha. The drive was like 15 or 20 mins and he was like this pretty much the entire time.

Royce loves to play in the water

So this picture is so funny! royce spilled some of his water on the table and Reyn was watching him and Royce lifted up his shirt to try to clean the water spill haha! So we handed him a napkin and he cleaned the spill and then some haha. He is such a funny boy!

Royce in San Diego on the bed sporting his new spongebob jammies! He also loves Bob bob (Spongebob)

* Well Royce is 2 years old! I can't believe it has already been 2 years! He is so fun and energetic! He has such a wonderful spirit about him. We are so grateful for our little man! We had a swim party with Reyn's sisters and their kids the night before his bday. We had subs and snores. YUM! I didn't do good at taking many pictures and the ones i posted are all blurry sorry.

* Then on his birthday Aug 24th my family was here to celebrate! He is such a loved little boy! He got so many presents. And he does a great job at being excited about all of them haha. He is so expressive! We had a lot of fun watching him open his presents and then bringing them to uncle Donny haha. He got the dinosaur Rex from the movie Toy Story and at first he yelled "dinosaur!" Then once he discovered it makes a noise he was terrified of it. And now he will look at it and say "dinosaur" but if i ask if he wants it he shakes his head no. so maybe he will warm up to it eventually haha.

* We took him to the doc he is 24 lbs. The doc said I need to bring him back in 6 months for a weight check. He said he isn't at failure to thrive but he is barely on the charts. Then the doc said that we aren't very big people so Royce is just going to be on the smaller end. He said Royce looks great and looks healthy just small. So I just need to keep doing what I am doing and try to get him to eat. (which has been an ongoing battle since he turned 18 months) He does however drink lots and lots of milk. So at least he is getting something. Royce is such a great kid. He has his wild fits. but over all he is a lot of fun. He is learning so fast. He probably says about 50 different words. But only when he wants to say them haha. He has started to put together 3 word sentences. He will grab his and my shoes and say "momma shoes outside" He loves to go outside and take walks. We go out every night before bed and let him run the neighborhood. He says more 3 word sentences but I can't think of any right now. I know real good mom haha. Lately though he has been tattling on me to Reyn. If I tell Royce it is bed time and try to get him to relax and get ready for bed he runs to Reyn and points at me and says "dadda, momma..... jabber jabber jabber." But he does it whenever Reyn is home now. If I tell him what to do or what not to do I get tattled on. Oh well haha.

* We took one last summer trip to San diego on Aug 26th. We came back on Sunday. It was a great little vacation. Reyn's aunt Lynn and Uncle Joe came down from Stockton to visit us. And we had a great time visiting with them. We really enjoyed Reyn's 3 week break from school.

Now he is in full swing with school again. And Royce and I are back to just hanging out. On Monday I will start watching a little girl from our ward. I will have her 2 days a week. Then on Wed I start the first day of Joy school here at our house. I am kind of nervous for it. But very excited at the same time. I think it will be great for Royce to interact with other kids. And get some learning time in as well. It will be a busy couple of months. But I am excited for it all. Whatever helps make time go by faster with Reyn is school.

And that is what has been going on with us. :)
