May: Party of Four

Most of May we spent traveling. The first week in May, the boys and I headed south to Austin, to visit family and friends. It was a great trip. Just Brode, Graham and me. Which made for an interesting car ride down. Graham hates the car. Loves to go places, but only if they're close. He cried and screamed most of the time down to Austin. I thought to myself, "just a little bit longer and he'll fall asleep, just a little bit longer and he'll fall asleep". Nope. Never did. Brode was a trooper and showed great "big brother" potential and tried everything he could to make Ham happy.

After a day and a half visiting and a hair cut, we headed home. The trip home was much nicer. After being in the car for less than 15 mins both boys were out and slept until the Dallas skyline. My prayers were answered.

A few weeks later we traveled down again to meet little Lola JoLee, the cutest little eskimo baby ever. Brode could not wait to hold her. He will be such a great help to me when our Baby #3 arrives. Micah got in some great bonding time with Dallas. These guys make me laugh. They've been friends for so long. You can really tell they enjoy their time together. It was also awesome to watch the three boys play together, Brode, Graham and Tiger. Tiger enjoys Brode's company and they play real well together. Graham is another story. Kind of a threat. This trip

was short and sweet, but we enjoyed every moment of it. I think we haven't take advantage of

the fact that we have great friends and great family so close to us. Maybe this summer we'll

take advantage.

Brode and Lola

Brode had the last day of Preschool at the beginning of this Month. It was a End of Year Party. When he heard he wouldn't have these teachers again, he got sorta sad. It was really sweet. He has loved his school, teachers and classmates so much. Enrolling him was one of the best decisions ever.

Snack time with all his friends.

This is a rare occasion, the boys sitting together

quietly, sweetly, not fighting. I have a number

of other photos of them when they are younger

sitting in this chair together. All the good ole days.

The next photos are of those good ole days.
