May, the rest of the month

Wow, the month of May flew.  We have had tons of fun getting to know our new home, hanging out with Grammie, Pa, and Aunt Julie at the RV for Memorial Day, and just playing, playing, playing.  The pictures posted out of order...but, here is the rest of our May in photos!


Owen enjoying swinging in his new Cowboy Boots.  He loves the boots so much that he doesn't want to grow bigger because he always wants them to fit.  

 Pa pushing Owen and Liam on the tire swing at the RV.
 Watermelon by the pool at home.
 Liam, clad in his batman pjs and his goggles -- ready to battle the bad guys!
 Enjoying Popsicles on the front porch (see the hostas the boys and I planted!)
A very tired two year old swinging with his beloved Cooper.
 Liam thinks the cupholder on his daddy's new mower is pretty cool.
 New mower got delivered.  Proud GQ with his very excited boys.
 Waiting for Pa to finish grilling dinner at the RV.
 Gavin hops into the Gator whenever the other boys have forgotten it (momentarily).
 Liam taking the gator for a spin.
 Sweet Gavers running around the property.
 Joy is swinging on a tire swing...
 A fun visit at Cousin Isaiah's in East Texas.
 We went to see Grandpa Tex in East Texas.  I took the boys to the Depot Museum in Henderson.  They loved it.
 Liam especially loved the big red caboose.
 Owen and Liam showing off their souvenirs from the Oil Museum in Kilgore.  Grandpa Tex and I took them for their very first visit.

 The boys helping GQ and I plant grass in the bare patch in our front yard.
 Gavin after an encounter with a "mud pie" made by Liam and Owen.
 Owen and Liam running the "race course" at the new house.  Owen was letting Liam win this time since Liam had a streak of losses prior to this race and was getting a little sad about it.
...and, that is our May (part two) in short.

Here's to a fun June that, hopefully, will include more frequent blog posts!

May, So Far

It's been quite chaotic around our house since the move.  Thought I would post a few pictures of what's been gong on lately. 


Owen is really enjoying playing T-Ball with the Cubs!  He played pitcher a couple of games ago.  That was quite fun!

The games are a fun family outing.  Seldom do Liam and Gavin actually sit and watch.  Usually Gerard or I am chasing one of them down.  But, this sure was a cute moment ;-)


Got a few cute pictures of Gavin out by our pool the other day.  LOVE!


Owen and Liam are really loving having a pool right outside our door.  It's getting a lot of use!


They graduated from Ms. Patty's first year swim class.  Both boys LOVED getting their trophies and medals.   Both boys jump off the diving board and swim in the deep end.  Owen is very close to swimming totally on his own.  Liam isn't quite there; but, he is a very brave little 2 year old.  Ms. Patty is going to keep him swimming with Owen because, as she said, he is a real go-getter.  Sweet Liam.  
 We sure have logged a lot of time in the pool for the first part of May!  Got cute pictures of each boy wrapped up in their towel after an evening swim the other night.


 Liam has gotten into the swing of T-ball practice with Owen and Daddy Q.  LOVE how he is wearing the glove. 
Funny picture of Gavin watching the T-ball practice with a found golf club.
The other day, Owen wanted to get a gift for Liam just because "I love him."  He got him a super hero cape and mask that matches one Owen got from Grammie for his birthday.  This way, they can both be super heros.  Cute!

 The kiddos had their spring program recently.  Liam's class sang "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".  They all drressed in rainboots and rain coats.  Liam just stood their and smiled at us.  He didn't sing a word.  But, he didn't cry either.  Progress!
 Owen's class sang a Silver Room Superhero Rap and "Take me out to the Ball Game."  Owen sang every word of both songs but never once did he look our way.  So cute to see him so into the performance!
That's what we've been doing the past couple of weeks!
