Owen and Brody were very interested in the pompom. Maybe they'll like sister's girlie things afterall
Owen and his girl, Lillian
Brody took this task upon himself....hmmmm
his masterpiece?
Owen was happy eating his weight in pizza 
31 weeks with Owen & Brody
31 weeks with Little Miss
Hangin' with our friends
This is "Critter Corner" and the boys absolute favorite spot in the gym. It tends to resemble an Ultimate Fighting Ring with my two in there. Only a few are brave enough to join in on the "fun"
Brody is very good at the balance beam. He pretty much runs across it.
Jumping Man
Owen is more of a Monkey-Man
The look on Brody's face is priceless. That's Coach Matt helping him across the parallel bars.
Owen's little Monkey Toes helped him across that little bar
B can master any balance beam, even one swinging in the air
Owen loved it too!
This was by far the ultimate! I couldn't capture the excitement because they were going so fast.
Owen got so excited he forgot to even hang on!
They did a series of obstacle courses created by Coach Matt. He was very creative and always kept the boys entertained. The hard part of learning to wait our turn. After a few classes they got better, not great, but better! We are taking the summer off, but look forward to returning in the fall.
We started the Mother's Day festivities at FUMC Muffins with Mom. This is one of the boys teachers, Lisa, who we dearly love. Their other fabulous teacher was the victim of a horrible pic so we will do a redo when we see her next. Owen was so excited to take a pic
Getting ready for the program
Thanks goodness I got one of my presents early. It was a long distance lens for my camera. I usually have to crawl and hide at programs so the boys don't spot me.
OH NO! I'm been spotted by Eagle-Eye
Brody was too busy elbowing our friend Weezie. Bless her, she is often the victim of both of my sweet little boys. She finally had enough of Owen one day and grabbed his arm. When questioned by the teachers, she said, "I just squeeze him." I'm sure Owen did much worse.
Saturday we headed to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. As you can tell, this was our first time in the sun this summer.
Owen laied out for a while and refused to get in the water until he was good and ready.
This was a hit. We love a good steering wheel, but one that makes water shoot out?!?! Big Hit!
The big thing in the back? They had that figured for first off. Did not even get near it!
So careful
This year the arcade was a hit! We didn't even have to put coins in. The boys were entertained just sitting.
Brody really thought he was in the race
Hot dogs anyone? We did spend a few tokens here. It was an additional area in the back with buttons and lights so they took turns driving and button-pushing
oh yeah, we also delivered Ice Cream. At one point both were on and they just ran back and forth between trucks. Thank goodness the arcade was pretty empty.
Daddy is the best at getting us warm and toasty!
Does he look a little like Mother Teresa?
Story time
Mom's lap is too small for a scared little man
Daddy with protect us from those creepy puppets. Owen was so funny, he watched most of the show with his fingers over is eyes, but when we asked if he wanted to leave, he insisted "NO".
Monday we met Nana and Papa D at the Fort Worth Zoo
We saw the back of their heads most of the day. The rented stroller was great for the diaper bag only. They ran until they could run no more!
Brody and I were checking out the giraffes (aka Melman from Madagascar)
Brody was in heaven making all his animal sounds at the REAL animals
Owen was looking past me at the lions. This eye doesn't miss a thing. He was pointing out animals to me half the time. He has an eagle-eye. I was amazed at how well he could pick out the animals.
Dad took Owen into the bird cage. Mom DID NOT go in there. I was happy to take pics from the safety of outside of the cage. You get a stick with birdseed on it when you go in and you can feed the birds. Owen thought it was fun to watch Dad do it, but he was not interested in feeding them himself. I understand son.
The penguins were cool. Literally, it was nice and cool in there for this preggo belly. The smell was worth the cool. Owen was impressed with the "happy feet" birds.
There was a neat ol' west town with neat stuff for the kiddos. Look at 'em go!
The boys crashed out just as we were leaving. This was a great way to wear them out for our drive home. Looks like Dad had fun too!
Owen caught a ride with Papa D. Two tired little guys! Thanks for meeting us Nana & Papa D! Hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day!
