It seems like the boys get something new every day. I actually bought a pack of ball-pit balls a while ago and just now got them out to play. The baby pool makes the perfect place for them!
Trevor was interested at first, but then when Brendan wanted to get in to play, Trevor decided that he wanted nothing to do with it.

Brendan was just as happy to play by himself. He LOVED it!

It is good to hear his voice again, and his giggling! He wore his PMV for a few hours today, and he is turned down to 2L and doing well.

Worn out!

Even though it is 110 degrees in the day time, the boys still want to be outside. They love to swing, especially when we turn the misters on.

Climbers!

I guess he is checking the wind direction

Sprinkler time, naked!

Getting them to come back inside is tough, but they eventually have fun there too

A very happy Father’s Day to all of our father friends and family! A super happy Father’s Day to Bill!

The boys were trying to be mini-daddies today, building and using tools.

Brendan is blowing kisses, Trevor is blowing raspberries

They thought they were turning out hand made adirondack chairs.

Video of cuteness:

It was my mission to get “portraits” of the boys with Bill for father’s day and with Gramma before she left. We set up and as usual, Brendan was Mr. Photogenic. He was cooperative and smiley and hilarious. Trevor was less than enthusiastic and rebelled with gusto. I thought the whole photo shoot was a flop, but we ended up with a good number of keepers!

Brendan just doesn’t take a bad photo

Trevor had a few good moments!

Daddy and his boys!! Some seriously awesome pictures of my three favorite guys!

Mommy didn’t get good shots, the boys were too wiggly

They were good enough to get some super cute pictures with Gramma!

How do you know when a photo shoot is really over?

Subtle clues

It was all a great effort by Bill, Gramma, and the boys to help me get such awesome photos. Gramma was getting them new outfits at 7:30am today, it paid off. They are too CUTE!!

We were lucky enough to have Gramma here to celebrate her birthday with us in Arizona again! Two years in a row, Gramma has had to deal with life-changing surprises about new grandbabies brewing. We did no such thing to her this year, it was comparatively a low key day.
Not to say it wasn’t busy! We took so many pictures today, I thought I would be up all night trying to pick which ones to use for the blog!

Trevor was feeling a lot better this morning. He had to start the big day with a cup of coffee.

He got dressed up in his snappiest summer romper and brought Gramma out her birthday present.

He is a good present delivery man

The boys were good opening helpers too

Then they played puzzles

Then they read books

Then they dressed up in silly sunglasses

Nothing spoils a birthday girl like putting her to work! She gave Bill a haircut under Brendan’s close supervision.

While Gramma was busy, the boys finally made her their birthday cards. They take their artwork very seriously!

And then things got a little crazy!

“Who knew washable markers aren’t really all that washable where skin is concerned?” says Trevor as he soaks his fingers

After a trip to Sams Club to buy diapers, we put Gramma to work again on another little haircut.

Trevor was such a good boy and was only a little wiggly. Gramma did an awesome job working on a moving target

Before and After. Not only was it cleaned up, but the back is now neatly layered in a clean cut little boy haircut!

Brendan is the only one of the family now that needs an awesome Gramma haircut!
There were so many cute pictures I had to leave out! We got fish & chips takeout from our favorite Irish pub tonight and followed it up with some key lime pie. It was a crazy day, but we hope that Gramma enjoyed her birthday as much as she could around this place!
