June Favorites

Mr B is SUCH a good helper in the yard :) I'll never get enough pictures of him and Daddy walking side by side workin' :)One of my very favorite pictures of them together. They look like I posed them that way, but they were just sitting on the stairs cuddling and I got there in time with my camera :) They sure do love each other!!Swimming!! I try and try to convince Kevin every year to get one of those huge above ground pools, but since we don't have the room to put it without killing a huge circle of grass, we have to settle for our tiny, little plastic pool (which obviously doesn't fit any part of me except my feet!), but the kids loved it :)

FIRST Haircut!

At 3 years, 5 months, and 16 days - Mr B finally got his FIRST haircut!!! We kept debating doing it at home or taking him somewhere, but it was a special occasion so we made a big deal out of it and took him to a professional :) He seemed excited, and he was a really good boy and stayed very still the whole timeWe still wanted to keep it pretty long, so she didn't cut too much off, but it's amazing how much older he looked to me!!Before and After pictures...I was worried we would cut off his adorable curl - but thankfully it's still there and just as adorable as always :)Gracie was confused why I was making him stand next to the door to take pictures, then she decided she needed a turn too :)

Jenny's House

We try to get together with our group of friends about every month and this time it was at Jenny and Jeromy's new house! We had a blast hanging out, eating, chatting, and playing some games. The kids had a lot of fun playing together. Hopefully we can keep up the monthly tradition, even though it's so hard with everyone's different schedules. I've had these friends since elementary school and they are very important to me! :)

Interesting spot for Gracie to decide to sit, but she seemed to like it :)Remember what I said about the bunny ears pictures for Easter? Sometimes I'll ask Bradley to smile for a picture and out of nowhere he does the bunny ears - even though sometimes it looks more like gang signs :) heheHe is just too adorable!! :)Bradley and Connor hanging outThe boys playing bocci ballI probably took 20 pictures of them all sitting there and here's my best one - pretty good I think!! :) Espcially the fact that they all sat there LONG enough for me to take 20 pictures to chose from!!! :)LOVE these girls!!!

May Favorites

Some kids have a security blanket - Mr B has to have a baseball accessory with him at all times - lately it has been a batting glove. He sleeps with it on :) It's just adorable. I don't think this baseball obsession is going away any time soon :)Trying to be a sweet brother, but Gracie seems a little cautious!Not to be outdone, Gracie has to come and get her picture taken too :)Posing on the stairsBradley probably has a dozen different bats, but his favorite is his Rockies Bat, and we decided it was fair to get Gracie her own - Carebears :) She sure likes having something that matches her big brother!Dexter Fowler!!! He came to walmart to sign autographs so we went there with Tammy and waited in line and got to meet him and Dinger. Of course Bradley was SO excited, and then got really nervous once we got up to him, but he gave him a high five and even sat on his lap! He sure looks frozen with fear though, doesn't he? :) But after that little moment of shyness, he gets so excited when he sees the balls that they signed and when he sees them on tv he always talks about how he saw them :)Enjoying the slide outside!
