Monkey see....monkey do....

"Look Mommy, we're getting wet!"
We were watering the yard the other night and this is what I came out and found....Cole doing exactly what Grant was doing...if Grant would move closer, so would Cole....it was sooo much fun watching them play :)

Do you see something missing?

Around Grant's birthday, one before and one after, he lost his bottom teeth. The first one was easy and he pulled it. The other one, one the other hand, was different. He would not pull it himself or let anyone else do it. Finally after church, he let Daddy pull it and it took just a second to pull it out. He is also growing up way too fast!

Putt-Putt Party

Grant's party was at a local putt-putt course. I think they had a great time--10 six year olds on a putt-putt course......can you say fun ?!?!? It rained for a short period, so we huddled under some umbrellas for cake and ice cream. Then they went out and played in the rain....boys playing in the rain....what fun

Trying out his new clubs at Waco

Grant got his very own golf club set from Granny and Papa for his birthday....now he thinks he needs to go out with Daddy and Papa when they play.





Wiped out!! Part 2

This was what I found when I got out of the shower after a long, fun day at Schlitterbahn. (Both of them were out!) I think he(they) had fun, what do you think?

Wiped out!!

This was Cole sleeping.
It was after a really long weekend.
We started out in Waco on Thursday night and was supposed to be there until Monday. On Monday we were supposed to head south to New Braunfels to be at Schlitterbahn on Tues. Well....plans changed!
Greg's grandmother passed away very unexpected on Saturday morning, so we spent the day playing with the kids in Waco and then had to make a late night flying trip home to get clothes for a funeral. Then a trip to Dallas and then finally to New Braunfels.
This was taken in the car on the way to New Braunfels....also another late night.
A side note.....Cole is gotten to where he likes to go to sleep like this.
I even covered him up like this at Schlitterbahn with a towel and he took a good nap...during the rain storm and with a lot of people under the same cover.
We are very blessed to have a very good sleeper that will sleep just about anywhere when he is tired enough!!

Mayborn Museum

While in Waco, Greg and I took the kids to the Mayborn Museum. Part of it was a true museum, then the other half was a discovery science place. They had a good time.Look Mom, it is floating!
Greg finally found his fun room. This was a water table. It had a continuous flow of water that recirculated through it. You could control the flow with barriers and have some raging rivers. They (Greg) played here for hours!
The kids want Papa to figure out how to build one!
This was Cole's favorite place.
It was a mini-city with these little tyke cars. He even made the car noises!
