A little catch up time…

Three posts in one day followed by a few weeks of nothing.  We’ve just been too busy having fun and trying to keep cool from the dang Texas heat!

Lately…

Enjoying some snacks at one of our favorite parks

First popsicle.  It was all good until it fell off the stick

double trouble

Playing at Mayson’s house

Ben, Connor and Addie…sweet friends.  When Addie and Connor get married, Ben will be the best man!

Thanks for the bubble blower Grams!

This little guy loves nothing else than to play, even naked!  And he just learned the word naked and loves to say it now.  He says it with a snicker and just makes us laugh!

There are no words for this one!

First ice cream truck experience!  We were just about to go to bed and heard it so I got all excited and made a big deal about the noise.  Ben started jumping up and down saying, “let’s go!”, but not knowing why.  And I asked him what he wanted and he said “ice cream.”  Dork!  Of course now when he hears the music he thinks he’s getting ice cream again.

I’m a horrible teacher mom and this is the first time I’ve taken Ben to the library in over a year!  He found a Cars movie book and loved it!  I told him he could get any books he wanted so he grabbed one about Croatia.  Really?

And this is what Briggs did-pull all the books off the shelves.

Funny faces

One fish…

Two fish

Such a sweet little boy!!!

Back to the splash park in Fairview with some friends

He even looks sweet in mommy’s sunglasses

What is it about bubbles that make kids so excited!  We love Mrs. Jennifer’s backyard in the afternoons!

Ashley watched Briggs so I could take Ben to the Plano Children’s theater to see his first live performance.  It was supposed to be Seussical, Jr.  We were so excited.  Ben didn’t quite get what we were going to do, but he was excited to see some friends (with Levi above).  And once it starts it’s Babe, not Seussical, Jr.  The  kids were SO bored and I don’t blame them at all.  It was excrutiating and way over their head.  But, Ben did a great job considering.

Ben and Addie had enough in their seats so they decided to just lay down and watch.  The kids tried so hard to be good, but were SO bored.  I actually called and got a refund (the alternative was two tickets to a future show, but we passed on that).

My baby wearing his Gordy’s shirt getting ready for our trip!  Tuesday can’t come soon enough!!!

Pool time fun at Mrs. Stephanie’s!

Looking good in Ashlyn’s shades!

This poor little guy woke up earlier this week with a fever and a horrible croupy cough.  Dr gave him steroids and put him on breathing treatments and he’s doing so much better now.  But the kid is pretty good at taking his own temp now!

Ben joined Addie and Michelle at a tea party with some of Michelle’s old students.  He helped himself to many cupcakes!

Our new favorite thing to do-rough house together.  These two LOVE to jump, push, roll, and kick each other.  The harder they laugh, the harder the ‘fight’.  It’s all fun until someone gets hurt though!

That’s all folks!  Briggs is 15 months today!  Say what???  The dr postponed his checkup because he’s been sick so we’ll go after our trip.  But he’s hanging out around 24lbs and I think has a couple words.  Dada, Mama, NO, night night, bye bye and my favorite-Bah for Ben.  Love when he calls for him!!!  He eats just about anything and prefers meat over fruits/veggies like his daddy (Ben is the opposite like his mommy).  He sleeps a good 12-13 hours each night and naps for 2-3 hours in the afternoon with the occasional catnap in the car after a playdate.  He could drink a gallon of milk a day if we’d let him.  Oh yes, and he’s perfect!!!
