Bowling!

We took Connor bowling for the first time!
 He loved it!!!


He did a great job handling the bowling ball and it was 6lbs... that's like 1/4th of his body weight...


 They had this very helpful ball ramp that was great for Connor!


He would get sooo excited when the ball hit the pins down!


 This was pretty much what Vale did the whole time...


Cass, Nick and Sam had a great time bowling too! :) 
 




                Look at that form! :)




Connor won! (out of the kids)

Daddy's day and workin' hard!

We enjoyed celebrating Father's Day with Jimmy!
  He's such a good daddy to our boys!



We started work this week watching three wonderful kids; Jimmy's cousins!
 This is Sam and Cassandra, two of the three wonderful
 people we get to spend time with!           


 Connor is doing wonderfully swimming!
He puts on his water wings and goes all over the pool by himself!

 

Vale is my little chill dude...


Don't worry, we took the keys, he can't drive into the pool... 


Connor is having so much fun playing with their toys!  Here he has found himself a gun!


We went to the library today and Connor loved the children's section they have!


We found two books he wanted to check out.  We will def. go back to this library.


Next door there was a volunteer center for something that was having and event.. we went and got Connor a balloon gatling gun... :)


I can tell already, this is gonna be a great summer!

Botanical Gardens


   


We had a wonderful time at the Botanical Gardens!
Above are some photos I took of the plant life... it was lovely :)

In the picture below, all those plants are ROSES!  It was really amazing!  I've never seen so many rose bushes in my life.  It smelled awesome!

 The paths were so cool!  Uncle Chris came with us which was nice and Connor got to run around which was a hit with him!


Jimmy actually used the ergo baby! :)  He looks cute and he said he felt pregnant... :)


 Another failed attempt at a good family photo... :)  One of these days we'll get one with everyone looking...


 Grandpa Allen and Uncle Chris, father & son...


Connor LOVED the turtles!!!  There were literally over a dozen of them in the lake, he was thrilled!


Just a cool photo of one of the turtles.


There was this really cool place, on a hotter day, Connor will LOVE this!


The boys...


A great picture of Connor with his Grandpa Allen and Grandma Gette


There were so many things that were hands on... he loved it!


He scooped up a spout and has it here in a little cup and he's gonna grow it.  He was SOOOO excited to have his own little plant!


There were these kid sized tunnels all around the kids section and Connor had a blast running through them!


There he goes!


When they were in the stroller, they were playing.  I love it that they like each other!


LOVED this!!!  I miss green foliage so much!!!  Cali is so brown!

Williamsburg with the extended Family

We went to Williamsburg to crash the Kimbro/Gregory family vaca.
They were very gracious and put us up and even acted like they WANTED us there! ;-)

We happened to arrive on June 9th, my parents AND grandparents wedding anniversaries.
We took advantage of the excuse to party and had a shin dig :)

 

Grandma and Grandpa :)  Married for 56 years! WOW!

 

Vale was so good at entertaining himself with all the people around!  That is when he wasn't being held...

 

Connor cuddling with his GG

 

This is what happens when you let a 7 month old chew on blue streamers...

 

Amelia and Connor went swimming in the hot tub.  They loved the bubbles!

 

Grandma and Grandpa with the babies


Grandma and Grandpa with all of their great-grand-children.  This was melt-down-central for Connor... sigh... this was the best one we could get.  And Adelaide by this time was hungry :(


I love this picture!

 

Me Madre and Aunt Jan


We went swimming and Kyle ended up with mad scientist hair.


GG and Pop Pop with my two little guys.

 

They were little buddies, playing with cars, their shared love!


Look at that sweet face! :)

 

Pop Pop with his toddlers :)

 

Hugging good-bye
