Lil Swimmers!

For the past couple weeks, Corbin & Gagey have been in swim lessons...their first time since they were born. Mommy always waited way too late to try to sign them up...and the swim classes would always be full! This year...I finally got them in!


Hanging out before class started.

Oh....Gage. He DID NOT make swim lessons easy these past couple weeks. He was a couple months too young for Corbin's class, so we had to do a "mommy & me" class. Seriously bad idea! He yelled at me everytime I tried to make him do something.

Corbin on the other hand was a little fish!!! He is doing awesome in his swim class and LOVES every minute of it! He actually tells me every day after class that he thinks the classes are too short! (LOVE this pic...he just noticed that his daddy came to watch him swim today!)

Mr. Steve teaching Corbin something. Corbin has two swim teachers in his class...but he only talks about Mr. Steve. (I think the other teacher is just someone who makes sure kids don't drown while Mr. Steve teaches)

Gage gave up on his class today (or mommy got tired of getting yelled at) so he's watching Corbin from the sidelines. Here he's yelling at me about something....ugh.

Gage wading in the water telling me "I not going under!!!"

Corbin practicing jumping feet first into shallow water.

I'm so proud of BOTH my boys! Corbin isn't afraid of getting water in his face anymore and is loving going under water now! Gage can "monkey crawl" on the side of the pool like a champ and loved singing all the songs that the teachers made US sing. (MOTORBOAT, MOTORBOAT...step on the gas!!) Tomorrow is our last day of class...and although Corbin will be sad...Mommy and Gage will be celebrating!!

Here is to next year and getting to watch BOTH boys from the sidelines! :)

"After-Park" Hair

Who needs hair product when you can use plain ol' sweat!?!

Just Like Daddy...

Gagey has daddy's "work" shirt on. Any shirt with a collar they wear or daddy wears is a "work" shirt.

**Totally off track...but doesn't Gage look like Lincoln in the first picture?....same face that Lincoln always makes**

4th of July Festivities

We started out our day in historic downtown Mckinney for their parade...man oh man...super hot outside!

After nap, we headed over to Aunt Sarah's house for some bbq with everyone.

The boys played in the sprinkler and Seth's baby pool in the backyard before dinner.

Since Mimi's birthday was the day before...we celebrated today! Here is her cake with 57 candles on it!!

Since a cake with 57 candles on it could be considered a fire hazard (hee hee...j/k) the boys all helped her blow them out. Seth actually started crying when he saw all the fire.

Oh Brotherly love. (L.O.V.E this pic) We headed out to Red, White & Boom in Mckinney after dinner and cake. The boys waited patiently in lines for different bounce house obstacles.

Sweet Gage.

WEEEEE!

Joey, 'chele, and Lincoln met up with us for some fun!!

One of the highlights of the festivities last year was watching the air balloons get blown up. This year was too windy, so the air balloons that did get blown up quickly fell down. Bummer!

Proud Aunt... and according to Lincoln and Seth...FAVORITE AUNT!

Mommy & Corbin. I had to bribe lil man to be in this picture...Gage didn't want any part of it.

The boys watching the fireworks at the end of a VERY LONG day.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Hope you had a good one!

Splish-SPLASH!

So...we went to our 2nd playgroup for this summer at a splashpad in Frisco. The boys had fun, of course, and are already excited about the next playdate!

Mr. Lincoln walking around getting wet. :) He walks like a pro now! Everyone is always talking about how much he looks like Joey... which I like because there is that slight chance this kiddo will look more like his Aunt Shawna...more than her own kids look like her! :)

Lil precious boy...looking at the camera. Not that easy to get him to...I had to lie and ask him if I had something on my forehead.

Carter-man. (why on earth does the shadow of my arm look so muscle-y?)

Gagey begged for a swing ride...so I gave in. You can tell by this picture how hot it was outside today. I wanted him to stay in the water to cool off..but he still won that battle...like most battles.

Ooh La La...the Stewart Girls checking out the splashpad. I didn't get a picture, but after the girls arrived, Gagey walked around with one of them (Emma?) and wouldn't leave her alone. Such a little ladies man. (Hey...they are only 6 months apart...there could be a wedding in their future!)

Hee hee. Stinker ran through some water....hence..the funny face. He has such a Gerber baby mouth, don't ya think?

Ladies man AND helper. Gage spent about 15 minutes trying to put on Carter's shoe for him....and Carter let him do it. Carter and Gage will be good friends..until they realize they like the same girl. Carter has the "hots" for Ella...and Gage was trying to steal her away all day. Of course, not knowing one girl from the other...Gage would be the good sport and go after Emma instead. :) It's a preschool soap opera in the making!

Corbin. I thought Corbin would be bummed today because his good friend, Carson, couldn't make it to the playdate...but he had a blast playing with some other kids. He took a short break to eat lunch, but then was off again. He's such a social butterfly and makes friends wherever he goes.

We had lots of fun today and can't wait until next time!

BOYS-IN-A-BOX

The greatest "toy" you can give a kid!!

Hunter

We lost our eldest dog today...sweet boxer....

Rest in Peace...Hunter.
