My Sweet Boys



My new favorite picture of my boys....Evan fell asleep on his big brother. Kyle laid so still and held him. I think they would have slept like that all night if we would have let them. :-)

Swimming Lessons

A few weeks back, Kyle attended his first week of swimming lessons. He LOVED it! I am so surprised and happy that he took to the water as well as he did. On the Saturday after his week long swimming lessons I got to go and see what all he was learning. I will admit I thought I would need to be sedated just to have all those kids in the water at one time but it really was not bad at all. They had so many instructors in the water watching the kids that it made me feel comfortable the entire time.
This is Kyle floating on his back...he thinks he is a BIG boy doing this! :-)

Now floating on his tummy.

I love this mid air shot! He is jumping off the side of the pool.


One of his favorite things to do in the water is when they throw something in the pool and he goes under to find it.


This is the tiny blue frog he found!


He is in swimming lessons again this week and he came home last night telling me he can swim from one teacher to the other. I am SO proud of my big boy! I can't wait to go this Saturday to see what he has learned in week two!

Words...

Before Evan woke up on Wednesday morning Kyle was awake in our room talking with Ben and I. The conversation was centered around when Kyle was a baby and some of the neat things he did.
The conversation then turned to words Evan can say. We were all naming off his words that he says which consists of bye bye, hey, go, mama, dada, bubba, and gaga.

About this time Evan woke up so we all jumped up to say good morning and to start our day. This word conversation was long forgotten....until we were on our way to school.

Kyle said "Mama, I know another word Evan can say."

I say "What is it baby?"

Kyle says "DELICIOUS" and busts out laughing!

So if anyone hears my 10 month old say delicious please let me know cause I defintely want to hear this one!

Staycation 2011

Last week was our annual "staycation" week. This is the week that the boys school is closed and I take vacation to stay home with them.

The first year Kyle was in school and we came up to this week, we made the decision to stay at home and do fun things locally. We have been doing it every year since and I am SO glad we started this tradition.... It is wonderful to go do fun, exciting and different things everyday but then sleep in my own bed at night. And the best part....I don't have to pack for an over night visit! :-)

This year proved to be just as fun, if not better than all the past years! I will try to post as many pictures as possible from each of our activities. I will warn you...I did take a A LOT of pictures. :-)

Happy Father's Day

On Sunday, we didn't really get to have a fun filled day with Ben since he had to work but we did get a few minutes Sunday morning for the boys to give him cards and the presents they made for him.


Kyle was SOOOO proud of making his Daddy a hat for Father's Day. Kyle drew pictures all over it. I think on the front of it is a picture of Kyle and Ben and then on the top he drew a strawberry and a tree.


Ben with both of his boys!
