Carpool Buddies

I have loved carpooling Ryan's preschool friends to school on Friday mornings.  They have the best conversations, make the best piggie oinking noises and tell the best stories.  We've enjoyed many laughs on our way to preschool.

Cooling Off with the Sprinkler

 We had a 90 degree day on Thursday.  I wanted to cut the grass early, before it got too hot.  I told Ryan I would turn the sprinkler on as soon as half the yard was cut.  He waited patiently and enjoyed a popsicle while I mowed.  It was so hot, even at 9 a.m.!  We had the sprinkler on by 10 and Ryan and Twix LOVED it!  They played while I finished the backyard and the front yard.

 They were both exhausted and soaked by the time we were done with the yard.

Memorial Day & Devon

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend with Grammy Jill.  The boys especially enjoyed a soak in her hot tub.  The water was the perfect temperature.  They splashed around and played games.

We had some fooling around at the horse show in the stables.  The boys tried to lock Paul in a stable after I asked them to get inside for a picture.  They had other ideas.

We love all the food at the Devon Horse Show.  This year the boys really enjoyed the italian ice.  Ryan loved the root beer flavor and David loved cherry.  They're tongues matched the ice.

Happy in our seats to watch the jumping.  David was focused on the scoring this year and worked hard to figure out who would win.

On Monday we got to see cousins Heather and Amanda and Uncle Peter and Aunt Gloria for a picnic.

Ryan was very excited to be given a hiking/walking stick from Grammy Jill.  The stick was made by Poppy Dave.  Ryan kept his eye on the container of sticks in the foyer of the house all weekend.  By Monday he had enough courage to ask Grammy Jill if he could have one.  He was so happy!  He took it with him to school on Wednesday morning to show his classmates and told them Poppy Dave made it.  He was very proud.  He's been using it lots in the woods behind our house.  

Black and Whites

 I love how the boys photos turned out this spring.  We love Heidi Lynne's black and white portraits.   She always captures great smiles and expressions.
