Favorite Pictures from May and June

Uncle Andrew got a basketball goal for the boys, and they LOVE it.  It is a lot of fun, and I love that they wear themselves out so fast playing.  We have a lot of fun family time out in the driveway. 

Also in May, I hosted Jodie's baby shower.  It happened to be the day that Alejandro and Wes finally came home from the hospital.  The day was a little hectic for Jodie, but we were all happy to see her. 

Max had fun entertaining all the guests.

The big kids played outside, where they could be more noisy.

Our big event this month was Jeff's graduation from his MBA program.  We were all so proud of him, and so happy that he is done with his degree!!! 

The next day, Jeff and I left for an anniversary cruise,

which was the best Christmas present ever. 

  

While we were gone, the boys stayed with Grams and Grampa.  They had a lot of fun too!

Kyle crossed over to the next cub scout rank, Webelos.

We also had a fun trip to the art museum with baby Evelyn and her mommy.

Luke had fun most of the time, just not at this particular part. 

Our month wouldn't have been complete with out a trip to the zoo. 

Favorite Pictures from April

We usually go to Canyon Lake for Easter with the grandparents, but several of us were sick on Easter this year.  Instead we had a quiet Easter at home and went to visit the next weekend. 

Kyle filled his basket quickly.

Max toddled aound and ignored all the eggs.

Luke was too busy racing Kyle to smile for the camera.

The egg haul

The next weekend, when everyone was healthy again, we headed to the hill country.  Along the way we stopped to take pictures in the beautiful wildflowers.

Favorite Pictures from March

We all spent a day at Hermann Park enjoying the lovely March weather.  Here are some highlights.

Kyle and Luke love to run around on the hill at Miller Outdoor Theater and roll down the hill. 

We went to the butterfly center at HMNS, and saw a lot of beautiful butterflies and bugs.  It is very tropical, so I don't think we're going back until the fall. 

Next, Jeff took Kyle and Luke on a paddleboat ride around the pond.  They went under a bridge and through a huge fountain.  They all had a lot of fun, and Max and I enjoyed watching them from the shade with some lemonade.  

Of course we had to go to the zoo also.  Here's a nice picture of Luke by the entrance.   

In March, Max really improved his walking skills. 

Of course he really loves to smile for the camera too! 

Luke is super silly all the time, and loves anything that rolls. 

Kyle is a great big brother, and loves to hold Max.  Max isn't really allowing this much anymore.  He wants to run around and play! 

Max the copycat

In March, our good friends Cindy and Jason had a baby girl, Evelyn, and I went to visit at the hospital.  She's a cutie! 

Kyle's cub scout den went to visit Ellington Field and learn about the planes and helicopters stationed there.

Kyle loves the Percy Jackson and the Olympian books by Rick Riordan, so for his birthday he went with some of his friends to see the movie version, The Lightning Thief.  Afterwards we took them all to get pizza, and had a special extra big birthday pizza waiting for them.

The pizza says Kyle in pepperoni
