The Stayner Family: June 2011

So far the summer has been a hit! The boys love to play outside, and I am LOVING the warm weather.

Remember how in my last post I talked about how opposite my boys are?

Smith loves playing with toys. Especially sets of toys (like his dinosaurs)

excuse the fuzzy pictures but could you just eat him up? I took the boys to a free soccer clinic the other day. Smith lasted about 10 minutes and then was completely bored

Miles on the other hand, dribbled, and dribbled...

and dribbled

and enjoyed every single second of it.

check out his moves :)

Smith explored the stands...

This is Smith's cute little friend Molly with her pink cleats. I must say one day it will be fun to have a little soccer playing girl...

but boys... well, they are just so much fun!

I frequently get asked "how far apart are they?" and when I respond "17 months" I almost always get a look of shock. Is it really that un-common? I swear I know so many people who have their kids even closer together. ?? I have thought a lot about wether I would do it again, knowing how crazy life would get sometimes... and then I have days like yesterday. They.were.inseparable! They love each-other so much. Sure they have their moments, but for the most part they are just the best of buds, and I just know they will be that way for the rest of their lives. They are polar opposites (looks and personality) which actually helps them play together in better harmony.

So YES I would do it again. over and over and over again. I love the bond they have. I love that they share clothes. I love that they LOVE each other. Yes, I would do it again...

but not for a few more months. :)

I LOVE YOU...

Smith, I love your big grey eyes. I ADORE your teeth. all spaced apart and pointy. I love your squeaky voice. I LOVE your curiosity. I love your smarts, and I love your not-so-smarts. I love your sweetness, your quietness, your ability to imagine the day away. I love that you LOVE to sleep. I love that at 2 years old you weaned yourself ON to a binky. I love how much you love your daddy, and adventures. I love you when you cry, I love you when you stink... I just LOVE my little Smitty.

and oh Miles how I love you too! That curly brown mop, your hilarious sense of humor. I love that I can make you laugh with just a look. I love your almond eyes and Buddha belly. I love your happy go lucky attitude. Your CONSTANT babble, your CONSTANT questions. I love how much you look up to your brother, and how willing you are to do anything to please him. and annoy him. I cant wait to see you play sports. I love your stubborn attitude. Your WILL POWER. Your drive to keep up with the big kids.
I love your lisp, and the way you say "sunshine" you are mischievous, and daring, and I look forward to the trouble you will cause.
