Z's end of year picnic

Mark turning into the "Alldad" as kids pounce on the opportunity to be entertained by an adult.
It may seem like Mark is just aged 30 years, but he's actually just making engine sounds...like his mustang, it makes lots of noise, but doesn't move much.
Well no wonder the car isn't moving, it's got a Zayvion instead of an engine.

Zayvion ran up, grabbed his Head Start graduation certificate and ran back to his seat before I could take a picture...I'm pretty sure his mantra is "always on the go"!

Outside in May

He's finally learned how to drink from a straw!
Z swinging on the new swing
Nerf guns are a lot of fun!!
Perhaps S needs 24 month onesies!! The 18 month ones seem to be a bit snug:)
Brothers enjoying the great outdoors!

Trains!



The little man has found the trains and he LOVES them:)

Like father...like sons




The boys taking turns mowing with daddy

Playing catch with daddy



Z is playing t-ball this summer so he and daddy went out to throw a few balls around:)

We got flocked!



Our church is doing a fundraiser for the high school youth group (to go to CIY this summer). You can pay to have someone's lawn flocked...and our dear friends sent these guys our way yesterday:) The boys have loved having them in the yard and they add quite a bit of cheerfulness to these rainy days!

New Swing set!

The coolest place in town to play the drums!
Z on the rock wall
Jam session 2011...first of many!

We got the boys a swing set for their 1 year adoption anniversary (June 17 and August 17...so a bit early but we wanted them to enjoy it in the nice weather). So far they love it and play on it whenever we are outside so we hope that trend continues:)

Special thanks go to Grammy and Popo for helping over Mother's Day weekend and to Mark who did most of the work:)

S's car

Getting into his new car...he can't walk but he's amazing at getting himself onto/into things!
Beep, beep!
Watch out world, here he comes!!
S got a new ride at a garage sale and he loves it!

3 versus 3 soccer

Coach Mark with 4 of his 6 kids. They did really well for never playing soccer and everyone was very excited to receive a medal!

Z's 5!


Opening his V-smile from us...now he has one just like M...no more fighting!!
Dinner on the special plate
Can't believe he's 5!!
Happy birthday to the wildest, craziest kid I know!!
