Home Depot Has New Shopping Carts!

Graham - Tea Time!

 BeBe takes Brooks to his library class every Tuesday, and she takes Graham out to lunch every Tuesday.  Today Graham dressed up - he wore is tie and a couple spider man rings.   He was perfectly dressed for the occasion!  What an AMAZING BeBe these boys have!!!!!!!  They are so lucky to learn from her and be loved by her.  What a blessing she is to our entire family!!

Scavenger Hunt Through The Yard

 

And we collected our findings on our duct tape bracelets!

Chesapeake Bay Foundation Boat Ride

 My co-workers and I all had the opportunity to go on the Chesapeake Bay Foundation Boat a couple weeks ago.  And I took Graham!  The purpose of the trip is to educate people about the bay and particularly to educate people on how to care for the bay.  We had an absolutely BLAST!  Graham got to hold fish, giant shrimp, oysters, eels, and we learned so much!  I can't wait to do this trip with the other boys when they are older.

 

 

 

The End Of The School Year

Graham had the MOST WONDERFUL experience for his first year in pre-school.  He made so many special friends, loved learning, loved playing.  What a wonderful place Sunnybrook is!  Katy and I got together with the rest of the moms in the class to go in on a larger appreciation gift for Ms. Paciga and Ms. Michelle.  Katy put together the flower pots, and the rest of us moms contributed gift cards for each of the "flowers".  The boys LOVED taking them in to school.  (Brooks helped, too.  He thinks he goes to Sunnybrook...:))

Madders Came To Visit!

Mom and Dad kept Madders for a day or two while Zach and Robin spent some time with friends at the beach house. So.....we got to play with Madders one evening, too!  It was a rainy day, so we decided to make our own rain and then we made dry play doh.  And had pizza and popsicle for dinner.  The cousins had a blast!

 

 

Thanks Molly

Molly has killed more animals than I can count.  (Kyle keeps a running total.)  Here is the latest victim.  Brooks kept saying, "I want to go see that cat up close!"  Graham would respond every time, "Brooksy - that is not a cat, that is a possum.  He Molly KILLED him!"

Happy Father's Day!!

We had a super fun cookout with our family to celebrate Father's Day, Mom's Birthday, Verne's birthday, and my parents' anniversary.

Dress Up At Papa and Gigi's House!

Well Hello Little Fella!

Some Sweetness

Graham and Molly have been developing a really special relationship.  She really trusts him!

Kyle took the big boys to McDonald's.  I did not go. :)  Can't say I've ever eaten there! 

Graham with Roscoe - trying to teach our boys to love and care for all animals!

Happy Father's Day!

To the most amazing father on the planet!!!

 

The boys helped  me make breakfast for Kyle, and we all ate in bed together - the first time!  Super fun!!  And full of crumbs! :)  Kyle is really the most amazing dad to his boys.  He loves to wrestle them, play with them, help them learn, train them to wonderful men, and most of all he is intentional with each of them.  He takes intentional time to help coach/ train them through the various circumstances of life.  Ultimately, the most important thing he is teaching them is to love the Lord, love their families,  and how to grow in to really amazing men. 

More Vacation

Graham went on his first fishing trip - for a large portion of the day - and he LOVED it!!!  He was amazing on the boat and had such a blast.  My little buddy is growing up WAY TOO FAST!!!  He is turning into the sweetest boy - such a kind heart.  And he truly loves life!

 

My Nugget

If everyone had babies like Tanner, our world would be overflowing with people.  This little buddy is just my littlest addiction.  He is trying to hold his own bottle these days - and he's pretty successful at it!  And he also tries to play with the big boys all the time.  Not realizing that he's a little more fragile than the big boys when they are playing rough. 

Oh My Little LOVE!!!!

I can't get enough of this little boy!!  Here is Brooks in his weekly library class.  CUTIE!!!!

Picnic Lunch Poolside - Does It Get Any Better?!

The Botanical Gardens

We have only just gotten back out to the gardens with the boys this summer.  And we certainly made the most of our visit.  We went EVERYWHERE.  And the boys LOVED the splash pads.  Even Tanner - took him a little while to warm up to it but he LOVED it!

 

I don't know what we would do without this triple stroller.  Funny enough - it doesn't fit in my car since we are always using one of the seats in the third row.  We have to take Kyle's jeep and put the stroller on the top of the jeep.  It's that huge. 

 

 

Could this baby be any cuter!!!!
