Orange Beach, AL

We were blessed to spend the week with Gary's side of the family in Orange Beach, Alabama.  We took 200 pictures, so it was hard to decide which ones to post.  All 4 of us had an awesome time!

Not sure about the beach just yet...

Andrew's Circus

The 3-year-old classes at Parkway Preschool perform "The Circus" as the end of the year program.  The kids have a lot of fun, and they did an awesome job!

Last day of school...

A is 4 years and O is 18 months

Andrew and Owen went to see Dr. Greer for their Well-Check Appointments.

Andrew is 4 years old, 33 pounds (25th percentile), and 37.5 inches long (5th percentile).  Andrew wears 4T shirts, 3T bottoms, and size 8 shoes.  Dr. Greer seems to think he's right on track and is a little munchkin for his age.  He loves everything related to Cars!  He'll line his cars on the windowsill or race them all over the house.  He also enjoys being outside riding his bike, reading, playing with puzzles, and just being silly.

Owen is 18 months old, 32 pounds (97th percentile), and 33 inches tall (75th percentile).  Owen wears 3T clothing, size 5 diapers, and size 6 shoes.  He is also doing well developmentally and is learning new words everyday.  For my records, he says ball, bye bye, cheese, "ocks" for socks, cocs for crocs, "sues" for shoes, "nack" for snack, "bocca ball" for basketball, jump, stop, "want some", I done, down, go, car, where'd it go?, Chip Chip (our dog), puppy, and just recently he'll say some numbers.  I have been counting with him as I change his diaper because he is SO wiggly, and he'll try to say 2, 4, and 5 ("pive").  Owen is our wild child and is always full of energy.  He wants to climb on everything!

 WOW!  I love these boys, and I am so blessed to be called their mommy!

Six Flags

We went to Six Flags with our Sunday school class and had a lot of fun!  We rode rides from 10:00AM until 9:00PM and were exhausted when we left.  A sweet family from our church kept our boys for us when we went.

Yes, we are goobers!
