Food!!

The bottom two pictures are from the dinner we had after Brooks' baptism - the kiddos are a wee bit wet from the pool. And Brooks ate his first food!! I've been giving him baby food from the store - because it's so much easier! - but I'm finding there really isn't much selection. So, I'm going to making Brooks' food, too. I remember Graham really enjoying papaya, mango, spinach (which could be mixed with ANYTHING!), and a few other yummies. And I can't find them in the store.

I also have no way of knowing....but Graham will eat anything. I mean anything. He eats every last thing I eat. I do wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I made him so many different kinds of foods as an infant...




Brooks' Baptism

Both of my boys have now been baptized on Mother's Day! What a special day in so many ways - with really sweet memories each year. We had a wonderful service at church - probably one of Jack's best sermons he's ever given, headed home for naps, and we had family and friends over for dinner. (We're finding that sacrificing the afternoon nap for two kiddos is exponentially bad for all involved.) A wonderful celebration!









Happy Baby, Eric and JZ!

We had such a wonderful celebration for Ford Ziemer a couple weekends ago - a super fun couples shower. And Steph made one of her famous, YUMMY cakes! Complete with the actual Ford logo!





The Outdoor Shower is OPEN!


Neglect-a-Saucer UM....Excer-Saucer

Brooks is starting to enjoy the saucer!! And you'll notice Graham in it as well. He likes to get in and pretend he's a baby. What's funny - every time he pretends he's a baby, he "fake cries". What's funny about that is that Brooks doesn't cry that much. His first few months - when he did cry quite a bit - must have left quite the impression on Graham!




Fun Times in Charlotte!!


Boys Trip To Charlotte

Kyle and Graham had a little weekend adventure to Charlotte a few weekends back. I'm not ready to hop in the car for that long with Brooks, yet. Particularly since he starts to get really irritated after being in the car for about 30 minutes! Kyle and Graham had a BALL! And Graham so loved being with our family. (I think he was perfectly spoiled while he was there!! LOVED being with G'ma, Pop Pop, Aunt Girl, Aunt Lauren, Uncle Steve, Uncle Joe, Uncle Bear)

Kyle hooked up a TV for the ride down - quite a step up from the portable DVD player we used last time!! And Graham was transfixed on Toy Story and Toy Story 2 for the trip!

Oh - and the accessories are ALL Graham's choice! LOVE his funny opinions!
