Jumping on the Bed

I just thought this was a funny video my mom took of the boys jumping on her bed. It is great to see the boys playing together and Brooks leading the pack - at least for now :-)

New Running Buddy

My new running buddy in his great new running outfit (wish I could wear that)!

Ready for a Ride

Daddy taking Brooks and Colt out for a bike ride. The boys love going out in the bike trailer and this is one of my favorite pictures of them.

Love'm Boots

I just thought this was a great picture of Brooks before school one day. He picked out his own shoes - and of course he chose his "Woody" boots. Love'm boots!

City Councilman

Congratulations to my dad who is now a City Councilman in Highland Village! We went to witness the swearing in and now he is known as "Honorable John McGee" (HA! Pretty funny if you ask me!) YAY Dad!

The Bridge

I took the kids to feed the ducks at the park one day and they insisted that we spend 30-45 minutes running across a 'bridge' on a dock. They were actually very funny and had a ball following one another (usually Colt following Brooks). It was at least 98-100 degrees outside, but I sucked it up for the kiddos. Thank goodness they ran out of water and we had to head back to the car!

End of the Year School Show

Brooks had his 'End of the Year' school show and it was absolutely adorable. He danced like a champ; however, his hat was WAY too big for his head and it kept falling over his eyes! It was pretty hilarious!

Singing the ABC's

Brooks learned his ABC's a couple of months ago and just started singing it out of the blue one day. He likes to sing with Leap (the frog) but many times he just sings it on his own. Unfortunately, I never seem to have the camera when he starts singing by himself so this is as good as it gets for now.

I guess all those times we played or sang the alphabet song really paid off!

Baseball Player?

Now that we have Brooks swinging the bat correctly and hitting the ball too (he can even hit a pitched ball), I think it is time we teach Colt! He has found his new favorite toy but he will not let Alex show him the correct way to hold the bat. The funny thing is, he usually holds the bat with one hand and slightly under one arm, and he hits the ball right off the tee without hitting the tee! It is pretty hilarious and he gets really excited.

Brooks' School Bike Parade

Brooks' school blocked off the parking lot and turned it into a 'parade route' for the kids and their decorated bikes/scooters. It was more of a 'bring your bike or scooter to school and ride around for an hour' fun day! We decorated Brooks' tricycle with blue, red and yellow curly ribbon and a HUGE Spiderman balloon. He loved it! It was actually VERY cute and the kids had a blast. They had a 'car wash' station set up where the staff sprayed the kids with water as they went through. One of the teachers dressed up as a police woman directing traffic. They provided sidewalk chalk for the kids and kid spectators and they also served popcorn and lemonade.

Colt enjoyed watching the kids and doing sidewalk chalk in the parking lot. I am sure he would rather have been riding around though! Brooks' best buddy, Lane, was there too!
