Flying a Kite...

Without a breeze or any gusts of wind can be a chore, but who needs wind when you can, "run like the wind," says Jude.

"Run Liam!  Run like the wind."

 Uhhhh, so tired!

 I've got it. I did it. Wahoo!

Sooo fun!  Who knew that a $1.00 plastic kite could be so much fun and get so many sillies out?  Win. Win. 

ROAD TRIP!

Well, a 30 minute one anyway.  Here's what a Saturday drive to Grapevine looks like in our car...

Liam - hammin' it up and loving on his brother, "brudder."

Jude - passed out hard because he's, "NOT TIRED!"

Daddy - all business

Me - passenger duties and shutterbug queen

We went to Grapevine Mills looking for Adam a pair of new shoes. We left with nothing. Adam said he thought we were probably the .001% of the population that leaves that mall empty-handed. Agreed!

We met up with my family (all of them) at the park. The boys shot hoops while the rest of us kicked back and giggled at the boys and their skillz. They're both pretty good. Even little Liam. He's been workin' on his dribble.

On the way home, we stopped for Gatorade and jammed out to some Daft Punk!  Liam was crackin' us all up with his awesome dance moves. He's got rhythm. Gets it from his Mom! ha ha ha.

Cooking with Boys

Jude and Liam played "cooking" the other day. They brought me several servings of rice and beans. Yum! I'm not gonna lie, I love the vintage Melmac as play kitchenware.  I doubt it makes them as happy as it does me! ha ha ha. But they sure did have fun.

After several "servings," this happened...

When I asked Liam what we were going to do about it, he simply replied, "We'll just have to walk over it." Spoken like the true maniac I know and love. While we're on the topic of things I know and love...the handi-vac is my best-friend some days. 

Bubbles Are Fun! Right?

As I type this, the boys are in the tub soaking their sweet bodies and gettin' their boy stink off. So, they must soak a LONG time. ha ha ha.  

 Doula taught us this trick with bubbles and at first Liam wasn't too into it. But, he came around - as you can see!

Jude, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with the bubble fun and remained a grumpy gus as long as I was snappin' pics. Sore sport!

He has since gotten over his foul mood and is currently singing and giggling with his brother in the tub!  So fun to hear. Did I mention the best part of baths??? They are contained! 

Tantrum to Angelic

The two sides of Liam. Ha ha ha! Boy do I love him. He keeps us on our toes!

6 years in a blink.

And in a few short months...he'll be going to kindergarten. My heart breaks and rejoices at the same time. I love my sweet boy. He has changed my life forever.

We LOVE Ice Cream

We all went to Braum's the other night after church.  It was our way of celebrating what the Lord has done within our marriage and our family. We gave our testimony at ReEngage - the marriage ministry where we serve. It was powerful and emotional!
