A recap of some events

Please...don't fall over. I know, I know. 2 posts in one month. Well, I am getting back on the bandwagon and, while I hope this is a normal occurrence, I don't want to cause anyone any chest pain in the process ;-)

Here's some of our fun events of late:

Levi was dedicated at church this past Sunday. We all dressed up and paraded up to the front to promise to do our best to raise Levi up to know Jesus. Here's a snapshot...thanks to our dear friends...Levi talked loudly, repeatedly saying, "Hump-tee, Dump-tee"...seriously what is with my kiddos and this egg???? I promise I don't encourage it at all!!

Pool parties have begun!! We pull the basketball hoop up to the edge of the pool and slam dunk over and over and over. The boys love it!! And, I knew it was coming...but it is a necessity to JUMP into the pool...so I pulled up the kids bathroom stool to the edge and it was perfect!! Mason could jump clear to the other side of the pool and Levi required a little help to keep it safe...but f-u-n!

Charlotte's 1st birthday party.....I didn't get any pictures of the precious birthday girl, but here is Mason enjoying some cake with his Maw-Maw and Levi with his Uncle Brandon....

Playdates are a sanity must for both the kiddos and myself. Here the boys are playing with their friend Deacon...they lined up under the swingset and played noneother than Humpty Dumpty over and over...

Grams and Gramps surprise Mason with a big boy bike! And he takes off....my pics were turned in photoshop, but are uploading crooked...UGGHH!! I love it when nature cooperates with big moments. .... My dad helping Mason ride his bike under the blossomed tree...PRECIOUS!

Grandma Bella surprised the boys with some extra special super duper ride-on toys and then stayed to play on the swingset. The boys LOVE their Bella!!!

And I'll leave you with a little video of the boys...I will note that the fence is now closed off (THANK YOU, HONEY!!) and that my boys do own shoes....

2 boys...

Since Levi made his appearance in 2008, Mason loves when Mommy or Daddy hold '2 boys'....it is a little more difficult now that '2 boys' weigh a combined 55+ pounds, but I love when Mason says '2 boys'....one of those 'melt-your-heart' moments ;-)

Since the warmer weather has been here, we have been o.u.t.s.i.d.e. just about every chance we get. I scored a second-hand swingset on craigslist so our backyard is even more kid friendly. The boys stay busy from sun-up to sun-down. Mason has learned how to ride a bike (with training wheels) in a very short time. Levi has mastered steps and ladders and all things climbing....his vocabulary continues to blow us away.

Anywho, more update later, but here are some pics of our sweet boys!
