It's Heating Up!

Summer days are here!

A few weeks ago we visited the SEA LIFE Aquarium and had a great time.  We went on a random evening and basically had the entire place to ourselves.  It was so fun to see Brock's reaction to the different sea animals.

Brock completed swim lessons last week and did very well.  He can jump off the diving board and swim to the side of the pool without floaties.  We are so proud of him!  A few photos from swim days at Ms L:

 

A couple of photos from our baking session to make Father's Day cookies for Daddy.  Brock was so excited to help with the cookies and couldn't wait to give Daddy his surprise.

 

This past week Brock and I went to Six Flags with my cousins and their kiddos to celebrate Darcy's birthday.  We had a blast in the heat!  Brock did well on the rides.  He liked "the hat" this time, but definitely was not a fan of the mini mine train.  We've got several years to master the roller coasters.  Great memories!

 

 

 

 

Someone is on the Move...

We have a crawler as of yesterday!  I am not talking just army crawling, our little guy is on the move.  So, now he really has us on our toes!  Oh, and one more tooth this week-on the top this time.

Eight Months and One Tooth Later

Wyatt's favorite things at eight months:  army crawling, drooling, eating, grabbing at EVERYTHING, putting whatever he can in his mouth and pulling his brother's hair.  He keeps us on our toes!

Duke and Myrtle Beach

It seems like just yesterday I was writing about my brother moving away to attend graduate school at Duke.  Two years flew by fast and we all traveled to Raleigh to watch my baby brother walk across the stage.  We were introduced to NC BBQ, hiked to Eno River, given the ultimate tour of Duke and met several of Stephen's friends and their families.  Stephen also introduced us to the Dean he worked closely with after very humbly telling us he was awarded one of thirteen Dean's awards.  Congrats brother!  You have the world at your fingertips (Literally!  He is adventuring somewhere in Brazil as I write this!). 

The EARLIEST flight EVER!

Thank you for the MM suitcase Gigi and Gpa!

Loves the airport!

Eno River



Brock picked a flower and gave it to Gigi (all on his own!).

Fun with the camera :)

Duke Gardens- Amazing!

 

 

Jason and Mary (and baby girl Graham) drove in for graduation.

Fun Night Out Celebrating!

 

After celebrating at Duke for a couple of days, we packed up the cars and drove to Myrtle Beach.  We were lucky the rain stayed away, although it was still quite breezy.  The ocean was so cold and Brock referred to it as "the big pool."  Our resort was tons of fun with several pools to keep everyone entertained.  The guys played golf the first day, while Brock and I went swimming in the pools and hot tubs.  That night we all went to see the Myrtle Beach Pelicans play.  They are a single A team for the Texas Rangers.  We had to get our baseball fix!  We also introduced Brock to miniature golf at Myrtle Beach.  We had a couple of competitive games!

Loves the beach!

YAY!

 

At the ballgame.  Cute boys!

PDA Photo Bomb!

 

"I wonder what this tastes like?"

Hole in One!

Even Mama Monkey made the family photo.

Boys!  Sand!  Need I say more?

 

 

Flight Home

 

We all had a wonderful time and were not ready to come home!  We must have said that too loudly though because our flight home was diverted to Tulsa because of tornadoes in DFW.  Our few hour flight turned into eight hours on the plane.  Our boys were amazing and received several compliments from fellow passengers.  We were happy, although sleepy to land at DFW after 2am.  My parents have the worst luck flying, so we blame it on them!  Love ya Mom and Dad, but next time we are on different flights!  (just kidding!)
