We’ve been to a lot of fun stuff over the past month. I need to remember to take more photos. I got a new phone. RIP old phone. And, it has a ton of complicated photo settings. Hillary, I need your photographic expertise!
Joshia turned four. His birthday cake was nothing short of amazing. Jeff made the whole thing from scratch. He made EVERYTHING including the netting, fish and rocks. It was a pirate themed party and the boys found buried treasure in the sandbox.
This happens twice a year. I drag everything out of Morgan’s closet and it’s out with the old and in with the new. I lucked out this year. Almost all of his shorts from last year will work for this year. I guess those diapers really take up a lot of space!
Andres is huge reader. This is from one afternoon when he didn’t want to go down for a nap. He didn’t complain about it. He just wanted a zillion books in the bed with him. Sweet baby.
We spent a morning at Allison Leonard’s house. She is so on the ball with her educational games. The children are all playing a listening game. Andres can barely see above the table. But, he wanted to be included.
We took Clifford Bustard Woo Woo Cox to the dog wash.
Clifford (Morgan’s name choice) Bustard (Gabriel’s name choice translated by Morgan. It’s supposed to be Buster) Woo Woo (Andres name choice)
Did I mention this is a girl dog? She already about 15 pounds heavier than in this picture.
I think that this is the morning that Melani Broomfield brought her kiddos over for a playdate. The boys are cuddling.
The boys all love story time at the library.
Then we stopped by the pet store to spend YET MORE MONEY on Clifford Bustard Woo Woo Cox.
This is what happens when you are trying to housebreak a dog. I guess it makes sense to Morgan!
Morgan had his four year old checkup at the doctor. Look how chilled he looks… like a little man. He is in the 75%-90% at 41.75” and in the 50%-75% at 31.1 lb. He’s long and lean! He did great the whole appointment. It helped that his friends were there. The nurse told him that the shots were super heroe shots to make him into a strong boy. He cried. It was sad and then the four of us got ice cream. Ice cream seems to make a lot of things better.
The boys found a puddle in the park. And of course I’m the “cool” mom. I let them go at it and get totally covered in mud.
Notice how much bigger Clifford Bustard Woo Woo is. You can’t see this. But, I have her leash actually threaded through my belt loops and attached to me. I don’t trust her to not knock down the kiddos. She’s like Dino from the Flintstones!
Our church park finally has picnic tables and benches. Yea! I foresee many picnics there. The kids all love this house. They like to put each other in jail.
Today we went to Paradise Pond and then on to the Grapevine Botanical Gardens for a picnic. Notice how Andres lined up all these cars. He was loving it because he didn’t have to share for a long time. The older boys were off in other parts of the play place.
Morgan said that this is what a policeman looks like.
Gabriel is a Texas knight.
The boys were pretty good at the rock wall.
This contraption is so cool. It’s like a giant spider web.
Andres is pointing out the giant (like 2 feet) koi in the pond.
I just love pics of cute little backsides!
This is what happens when you tell a child to smile.
Awwweee…. brothers.
… and Morgan.
They ran off into the woods to pretend to hunt.
I couldn’t resist this pic. The older boys told Andres that he wasn’t a Power Ranger. I guess that is devastating to a 2 year old boy.
Here they are pretending to be Power Rangers.
This is a pic of a sweet dry baby before meeting up with the fountain.
Gabriel kept screaming, “I’m wet!” But, he wanted to go in the fountain. Ha!
Everyone road home in their underwear. It’s been a great day. The boys have already asked to go back to the spider web park before we even got home.
