conrad jay: week 4

Conrad has some excitement this week. He took his first trip to Silver Dollar City. I'm sure he wished he was doing some of this with his brothers...

But he actually looked like this.... The whole time.

Our main reason for going to Branson was to pick up an early birthday present for Amos. Jason had been watching Craigslist for a used kids mountain bike. We were thrilled to find one for a good price and in good condition. It needs to be if it is going to make it through 4 boys!

And with season passes, it made sense to go ahead and hit up Silver Dollar City even with chances of rain. The chance of rain worked in our favor and the park wasn't too busy. Also, the cloud cover kept things pretty cool.

Things started to warm up a little bit and we decided to hit the splash pad. Amos jumped right in. Ivan soon followed.

And Silas eventually followed too! At the end, Amos was soaked, Ivan was wet, and Silas had a few drips on him.

And the car was all like this on the way home.

I wish I had those eyelashes.

Conrad's starting to notice all our noise. And believe me, there is a lot of noise in our house. So he's starting to spend some naps sleeping by himself in another room. He sleeps more soundly, and if he wakes, he normally joins us out in the swing.

Here are some of his other new places this week.

He's still battling baby acne. Poor guy. He's also slept a couple 5-6 hours chunks at night this week! Happy Mommy!

And his brothers have been up to their fair share of crazy, too. Here Amos is pretending to be a turtle.

Summertime smoothies!

He wanted to write to 100.

A little cross-eyed for the camera.

Crepes for dinner was a big success.

Everybody got a new bike this week! Silas took over Amos' bike with the training wheels back on and Ivan is trying out the Strider. Pretty soon we are going to have a bike gang!
