AMP office


Ryan finished doing a build-out on his office this summer. It looks great - what a change from the office being in our house. We've come a long way from Castleford days in Texas!

Mini Golf

So miniature golf has been the rage all summer and I thought I'd post a picture of the boys doing their thing. They are both getting quite accurate: Jamison usually gets it in within 3 and although Carter may hit it 29 times, he still celebrates when it goes in the hole.



I can't resist Carter's little face and moppy hair.

Life is a Competition


Jamison and Carter must create a sporting event competition over every task in their lives. Whether they are stuffing waffles in their faces to finish eating first, first one up the stairs, first one in their seat belt, first one to the sidewalk, first one to brush teeth, first one to gulp down their juice, etc. This is followed by the conversation between the boys that I hear at least 300 times each day:

I won!
I won first!
I won first!
No, I won first!

And then the inevitable fight over who won.

Unless, it's actually clear who won and then there is substantial gloating by one and substantial mourning by the other. Carter's is more pathetic, but Jamison's is more loud and they are equally ANNOYING. I'm not sure how to end this thing and I have a feeling that time will only create a greater competitive nature between the two of them.

Maybe I should start to create competitions for who loves me the most or who wants to help clean up the most, but I'm sure those things won't be interesting for some reason.
