conrad jay - week 50

In case you missed it, Amos found and caught his first snake last week.  We spent Sunday with a family that had caught a snake and since them he's been on the hunt.  I was hopeful that he wasn't quite BIG enough to catch one.  I was wrong.  He came running inside with this little guy and my heart started beating faster.  Will I get use to it???  I banned him outside with it.  He was pretty excited; as were the rest of his brothers.  Sadly, the snake lived a short life with us.  We're going to have to do better with how to keep these things alive.
Later that week, Jason found a dead snake on the road.  Everyone had to come check it out.  Everyone except me and Conrad, that is.  Yuck!  

Beatiful weather means lots of time outside!  This one is out to do it all.  And he has all the bruises, scrapes and bumps to prove it.


Conrad LOVES to swing. 



Speaking of bumps, he got a great one the other day when we were riding bikes at the church parking lot down the street.  He can balance so well on his Strider and got going SOOOO fast.  Then, he lost control and luckily had a helmet on.  His cheek met with his bike and caused a nice bump and bruise.

The other boys were Speed Demons too.  Silas' skills have really taken off too!  He goes so fast and pedals so hard that it's a little humorous seeing him on such a small bike.  I think he's ready for an upgrade.  He's trying his hardest to keep up with Amos, but those little wheels just aren't doing it for him.

There's no keeping up with Amos.  He was whizzing all over that parking lot.

And Conrad and I were chilling with the stroller.  He was spinning his head all around to keep an eye on his brothers.





And this week started with a nice surprise visit from Grammy and Gramps.  They even took us out to eat lunch, which always makes for a better Monday!
