This past week I was able to get some much needed "mommy time" with
the boys at Priest Lake. It was great to be able to be with my Dad and
Grandma for a day and with my Mom for several. I then had the boys by
myself for a few days until Josh joined us for a long weekend. It was
so nice of my parents to let us use their house for the weekend.
Brendan loved all of his outside time. He has become an outdoor kid.
He wakes up in the morning and says "outside mommy" and that is what we
hear until he crawls in bed at night. He loved going for long walks (he
is able to walk with us--not in the stroller--for 3-4 miles...crazy, he
giggles, runs and laughs with joy the whole way), driving his car in
the driveway, blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk, going out for
ice-cream, digging in the sand and rocks, and driving his trucks all
over. He was able to see baby squires, play with dogs and go for a boat
ride--life doesn't get much better. Evan did great as well, he enjoys
laying and looking at the trees, falling asleep on walks, and getting so
much attention from everyone. He has started to laugh, roll over, and
grab things. He likes when we pull him up to a sitting position and
then to standing--he is a flirt and makes us all smile.
The
last day we were able to have our friends Ryan and Qui come up with
their dog Eva. We are thankful for good friends and loved our quality
time with them. Brendan loved playing with Eva, makes us all the more
convinced that we need a dog :)
Here are a few pics from the week...I don't have many (hard to hang out with two boys and take pictures).
