Porter loves the little bench that Grammie Joyce and Papa Mike gave the kids. It's so cute to see them use it. Here Bubby is playing with his bubbles.

Morning at the park

The kids are learning how to master the playground equipment. Porter grabbed the rings and let his feet dangle for the first time.





"See Sis, this is how you do it"

"Grab and let your feet swing out"





Show off

Wanting to climb the tree like the big kids

Then we dug a huge hole with friends we met at the park



and we found a worm!

Then we swung on the tire swing

Super high



What a great morning. Then we hit the fire station for a tour.

Picnic on the new blankie Grammie Sondra made us

Multi-tasker

Porter has always been good at carrying many things. Today it was laser gun, Sippy cup, Sandy and pillow. Off to nap time.

Porter and his Lincon Logs

Porter was being pretty quiet. He was busy building this fort. Good job Bubby!




Then he knocked them over

LBJ Ranch and Luckenbach

We thought it'd be fun to take off on a day trip. We had originally planned to go straight to Luckenbach but we stopped to take a tour of the LBJ Ranch.

Pool time

I haven't swam this much since I was a teenager. Being able to stay home with the kids has been awesome because we go swimming about 3-4 times per week. The kids are starting to swim without their floaties. They can go a few feet. Porter uses his arms more than Abigail, but Abigail treads water more than Porter. So they both have areas they need to work on obviously. These kids have never been afraid of the water. Little fishies right from the start. Carey has really been working with them.



Relaxing in the pool

Connect Four with Daddy

The kids are finally old enough to play games with it being a nightmare. They like match game, Connect Four and Spill the Beans. Oh and Hide 'n Seek!

Papa's hat

Sometimes we just like to hang out and be goofy



Real goofy

Fun at the splash pad

We haven't been to the splash pad as much this year. Probably because my mom's condo has the nice pool and we have been working on our swimming skills. But it was still fun to go back and run around.
