Boys will be Boys!

Children grow up fast anymore. Or, maybe I'm just getting older and time goes by a little faster. Pictured are two of my grandsons who love to do things together. How can I best describe these two boys? Dare devils, spontanious, thrilling, chilling, sportsters. These will do for a start. When it comes to play they have no fear. Meet Clayton and Charlie, the two C's like two P's in a pod. Anything Clayton does, Charlie will do. Between my house and their house is a fairly steep hill. Down this hill they have ridden little plastic cars, tricycles, bicycles, sleds, skate boards, trash barrels, lids, you name it they have done it. The other day I was in the kitchen and I heard Charlie holler at me "papa will you give me a push". I wasn't paying a lot of attention to him and I said something like, I'm buisy, don't have time. Charlie hollered again and I said no. Seconds later he was standing in the kitchen asking me to give him a push on his bike because he couldn't get on it and take off on his own. I felt bad for ignoring him like I did and went back outside with him to give him a push. Marsha and I had gotten him a new bike for his birthday. Well, he walked his bike to the edge of the hill and said for me to give him a push. I said no way, you will get hurt. He said he wouldn't because Clayton had given him a push down it and he never got hurt. I said well I won't and besides you don't have a helmet. Charlie said I do to have a helmet, its in the house. I said well its not on your head!!

I tell you it is one exciting thing after another around this place.

Clayton and Charlie are into playing baseball now. Last weekend they played in a tournament and won 2nd place. I haven't seen them play yet but I hear they are pretty good. Clayton can really hit that ball. Charlie tries real hard to hit the ball like big brother and I was told that he really smacked the ball to third base scoring a home run. Charlie was really excited and had this huge smile as he ran the bases to home plate. Everyone was yelling and cheering him on. When they came home that evening Marsha and I were in the kitchen and the two boys came running in grinning ear to ear proudly showing us their trophy. Each one was awarded a trophy for their excellent ball playing. Clayton and Charlie have a excellent teacher who just happens to be their big sister, Sam. I have seen Sam out in the yard helping the boys practice throwing and hitting the ball. It must be great having a wonderful sister to give good pointers.

All I got to say is as the CC boys get older is Look out Oklahoma!!! and get ready Mom & Dad these two tornado's are starting to spin.
