Foster Family Fun Day!

Uncle Chad is in town!  The boys absolutely love my brother!

 The boys loved playing baseball. We may have to sign them up on a real team next year?

 Gray loves it when Mommy is silly and plays and does exactly what they do!

 "Mommy you are soooo silly"

 Time for Catch!

 Silly Mommy again!

So far our visit with my brother has been fun! We love having him here and can't wait to visit him in New York next year! Then hopefully he will head back this way to start his business and find his mate?:)

Symphony vs Rock

If you know me, you know how much I say my boys are total opposites.  I love this about them!  Gray if you look closely has ketchup around his mouth. He is my messy one....Or rather laid back when it comes to stuff on his face.  Griffin...however, would never have anything on his face or hands.

Gray rocks out to the drums.Beating them. We definitely know that the drum sticks are manufactured well.

Griffin very serious and is playing up to 12 songs on his piano.

His intense study face makes me smile

Gray screaming as he holds his drumstick up like a sword while Griffin makes sure he finishes his song before looking up to take a picture.

Symphony

Rock

My boys are at an age where I really want to push pause!  They are best friends and they are soaking up so much.  I can't get enough of 5 and 3!

Horse Therapy

Our very good friends, Rhett and Farrah told us about this great therapy!  We are thrilled!  Here is Griffin giving a hug to a one of his BEST friends.  Pictures of our first 3 sessions!

Stopping to blow bubbles one of Griffin's favorites!

Then we had to plant some flowers. Matching them with the correct color.

Let's stop to feed Freckles and Flash! Carrots are their fav!

One happy little guy. Just put him on a horse and you will see this all day!




My Mother's Day Flower that Griffin picked out~! Great job bud! I love it!

CF Walk

Several weekends ago. John Van had to start on the yard. So, I had a mommy and sons day. I woke up ran in the Carver Child Abuse Race. Came back just in time to pick up the boys and head across town to the Cystic Fibrosis Walk for our dear friend Mandy and her daughter Taylor.  I brought the wagon thinking that they would ride. Gray rode  a little while but he mainly wanted to pull it. After the wal the kiddos played till their hearts were content on the parks playground. They had a ball! Then headed home for a quick nap and then off to a Birthday party!

My little Cowboys

A couple of Sundays ago we headed to our friends house or should I say Farm!

The boys had a ball!  They each had a horse to ride. Gray rode cowboy and Griffin rode Red. They fed the chickens, ducks, horses and even the dogs.   We arrived at 2:30 and didn't leave till 7:30. John Van and I had the best time watching! I have to say it was one of the best days with the boys. It will go down in the memory books for sure!  We will be back! Thanks Kim and Gregg for letting our boys rule the farm!

The Gator was fun too!  I even got on it and took a tour of the farm!

Gray said that he wanted to give the horse a cookie but then he changed his mind.

Griffin with out fear climbed to the top loft for a better view!
