Finally at the Park

 

All day Friday and Saturday it has been cold and rainy here.  Today it was not as chilly but the best part is the rain cleared and things were dry enough.  After church and some naps we headed over for an afternoon at the park.  Brad wanted to work with Bradley on some soccer skills for his indoor soccer league he is in this month and through half of October.  He has practice tomorrow so I will get some pictures then. 

With the rainy day brought new toys.  This was a gun I had bought Gavin but I didn’t get the right caps so Brad fixed that with a trip to Wal-Mart.  It actually has fire and smoke come out of it.  Bradley got a new sword so now we have two (we have had two before but would you believe it , boys break things!! Go figure right!) and they got a little walkie talkie set. 

 

 

Rough housing is what I see everyday!

Back to loving each other!

I went in Gavin’s room after he had come out from nap time and found his crib had this.  I guess he did a little reading! He has never taken books from the bookshelf while sleeping before but since preparing for a marathon is no easy task, there isn’t any time to waste. 

 

Now, here they are at the park today.  Getting their skills on.  Gavin is such a little Daddy’s boy.  I have to say that the other night Brad and I went out on “Date Night” where a local church watches the kids one Friday night out of each month at a fraction of the cost for a sitter.  When we went to get them I walked right up to Gavin being held by a Grandma since he was the first one I saw and I said “Hey Buddy, Mommy’s here!” and he looked right past me and shouted “Daddy!” while lounging for Brad walking up behind me.  There is no discretion with him being a Daddy’s boy.  Stinker!

Watch out David Beckham! They are good soccer players and they have red hair the ladies love!

 

What trip to anywhere would be complete without the infamous…..MELTDOWN! Both unhappy the other was getting the ball kicked to them first from Daddy or me. 

Gavin and I with Easton on my back ventured to the playground to let Bradley and Daddy play alone for a while.  We stopped at the bleachers for some jumping and making that fun bleacher noise. 

Then since Bradley wouldn’t share the soccer ball over at the field.  Wouldn’t you know it we came across two twins.  A boy and a girl who had soccer balls they let Gavin play with.  He was in soccer ball heaven.  He even took the pink one over to show Bradley and gloat. 

Playing with Mommy. 

Serious.

 

Happy Freedom.

 

Funny Sweet.

I took Easton of the carrier on my back and let him crawl around.

 

 

In the song of the Fresh Beat Band that Bradley watches, “We had a great day, it was a super way, to spend some time together and nothing could be better!”

In the House

I am back tracking over the past couple weeks.  It appears from these we don’t go anywhere but we do.  Once I uploaded them I decided to title this post “In the House,” since they were all taken here or on the back porch.  I just haven’t been taking my camera out places.  We do actually go places, to and from school, the park, seeing friends and Bradley has started a little indoor soccer team and I have started working the childcare at a few bible studies during the week and I will be starting at MOPS too soon.  I can take the boys with me so it is a little way to make a little cash.  Trust me when I say “little” cash but every bit helps since I sure do know how to spend it! Anyways, here are the pictures but I don’t remember what day each of these were taken on.

  

They boys were actually sitting right against each other like they liked each other but right when I got my camera they moved.  I hate when they know to do that!!

Checking out the rain on a rainy day, so Bradley did what he normally does on rainy days.  Pulls out the tent and tunnel.

 

He was playing his game with me where he tries not to let me catch him with the camera but I did a few times ;)

Silly faces!

 

Easton got in on the fun and I was glad he wasn’t afraid of the inside of the tunnel. 

 

 

This is why I don’t get anything done during the days because they are very good at sucking me in to play with them.

They either want to be on my lap.

 

Or they are in need of attention and give me the square pouty lips. 

 

We ended this rainy day by baking cookies with Bradley once the little ones went to bed. 

Caught Gavin getting into my purse on several occasions.  The first time he had Bradley catch him and the second time he got Easton in on the action. 

Our reflection of Superman!

E is loving doors and how they move but then once he actually shuts them he cries since he is on the other side of the fun. 

 

The little Yorkie, Jesse, that we dog sat.  They boys loved him but I think Jesse may have gone home twitching.  I bet he was excited to get away from all the small hands. 

 

Here is E just being the little adorable blue eyed peanut head that we love!

 

What blog would be complete without Gavin on top of the kitchen table.  His new thing is buckling his booster seat so he wants to buckle it and not sit in it.  He does make us nervous feeding Easton.  Probably makes you nervous just seeing it. 

One more antic of Gavin’s is climbing into the exersaucer and rolling out of it head first. 

  

I mentioned in the last post that E is pulling up like this and sometimes going one step further and standing all the way.  So exciting to see his adventurous side. 

Here he is using his knees to crawl.

    

His knees all red from crawling the right way!

Last but not least, Bradley received the Show and Tell book bag on Tuesday.  He earned it by listening the best during circle time and following instructions.  After tearing apart his room Tuesday night and with the help of Mommy and Daddy he decided to put in it his red T-Rex dinosaur that roars, his transformer fire truck that shoots missiles and his “Ider-man” which is just some little action figure creature he named that and likes.  We still have a long year so I think we may be seeing this bag again. 

Ahhhh, these boys! Love them!
