Two of Bran's Favorite Things...

Bran is big-time into motorcycles, and bikes, and driving. Pretty much anything he plays with becomes a moto, or a horsey, even though he's not too thrilled with riding horses in real life. He even tries riding his little hot wheels, haha! That's especially "funny" when he's having naked-bum time.

Nuala often ends up as an unwilling horsey, since Bran also LOVES to wrestle and will throw his arms around her and fling the both of them to the ground. Then he sits on her and says, "neigh, neigh, neigh..." Oddly, she is not too thrilled to participate. However, she doesn't mind at all when their roles are reversed. He doesn't mind either, he's such a good-natured little fellow! Though I don't know how effective a horsey he is flattened on the ground...

All this riding around is bound to tire a little guy out. So, another favorite thing is to snuggle with his blankie. I know, y'all already know this, but I have some cute pictures of it, so I just have to share again!

Awwwww....Best of both worlds. Snuggling AND riding.

And OF COURSE I get my turn to be a horsey...quite often...sigh... But I don't mind, I know I won't be able to carry them around in just a few short years. I mean, my mom won't EVER give us horsey rides anymore...

Your mom won't give you horsey rides anymore? What kind of mother is she???

ha ha ha!!!

Bran is such a sweet little softie at heart! I bet you just love your little boy.....

I love the photo of him in the box! :)

I can't believe how big they are getting!

Rob and Erin said...

They are soooo cute!!! Hahaha! Colin reminds me of a combo Bran-Rowan. I loooove the one with him and his blankie on his little car!

Paige an Jonah love to have bull rides (they try for the 8 seconds...) and for camel rides. I am not sure how we ended up with a camel instead of a horse, but we did. I end up walking on my hands and knees with Paige or Jonah (sometimes both) making my back go up and down a little and singing "dah dump, dah dump" in a low voice. It's our camel noise...

Good grief, Fiona, get the poor kid a bed! I can't believe you make him sleep in a box. ;o)

That is totally adorable and all the more so because Rowan is doing the same things...though his horsies are all older, and therefore generally more willing to indulge him in his horseying, LOL.

I really love the one of Nuala riding Bran, though. He looks so happy to be squashed there on the floor, LOL. Cute, cute babies...as usual! :o)

I agree with Aislinn and all of the things said about the profile pictures...adorable. I love getting your updates and am so glad you find time to comment on my blog. Have a great day.

Julie said...

Actually Mike gives the kiddos "canamel" rides. Cute pictures!

Cara said...

Love the new pictures! They look so old! Also love the box one! We should get our kids together and just let them play with boxes!

Ben said...

That reminds me of the days when all you needed was a box to play with and your life was complete!

Your kids are so cute!!

heidi and Doug said...

In the third picture down Nuala looks like she could totally be WALL-E. Just make it a yellow suitcase(?) and you have a halloween costume.... However WALL-E was a "boy" and EVE was a "girl." I bet it would still work to put Bran in the case. When we were little, we used to have bull rides. I only remember it happening when the parents were gone, and every memory I have of it, my glasses ended up needing repairs. I'm not convinced our parents condoned that activity. But I think it was fun.

I, too, cannot believe your mom doesn't give you horsey rides any more. I'm sure that's going to require some therapy to really come to terms with. But, adorable pictures! It must be so fun to be a twin and always having a buddy to play with.

Great pics!!! The little rascals are so cute, and making their own fun a lot... Well, I s'pose I COULD give you another horsey ride Fiona, if'n you stay nice'n skinny :) Love you all, Mom (Dad too) xox
