Playing at the Park

We decided to go feed the ducks and geese tonight at Antioch Park.  This park is one of our favorites.   The boys enjoyed feeding the birds, but weren't so hip on having their pictures taken.  Adler won't even look at me when I have the camera to my eye.  He has the most amazing smile, but I rarely catch it on film.  I tried some new things with my camera and got some fun photos.  Enjoy the pictures.

Stitches are gone!!!!

Trey had his stitches removed this morning.  I have to say he did better getting them than having them removed, but thank goodness it's done.  I just hope that's my last visit to urgent care for a long time.  But, who am I kidding, right?

Tooth Fairy's Going Broke

Sam lost his third tooth this morning.  Hopefully, the fairy will remember to visit this evening.... 

More 4th of July

Adler has a serious problem with authority figures.

The first time the boys got ice cream from the weird man that drives around the neighborhood.

I noticed I don't have any pictures of Adler on my blog.  I'm not sure why that is.  Though he rarely takes his pacifier out, so maybe that's why.  Here are a few of him and more from the 4th.

Bike Riding

                                                    

All smiles as he takes his first ride.

Sam enjoying the ride.

Trey got his first bike today.  We went out biking after dinner.  He had a great time, a smile on his face the entire evening.  He might have even passed Mr. Cautious (Sam) once or twice.  Andy made him crash a few times, and Trey came up with a smile every time.  I was really proud of him.  Here are a few pictures.  The rest are on our website.

How many times will I be at Children's mercy this summer?

So..... I made my second trip of the summer to Children's Mercy Hospital.  This time with Trey. This was his fourth visit in one year.  I am expecting children's services to arrive at my front door any minute.  What happened you ask?  Oh, just a little frisbee golf with his Dad and brother Sam.  Sam had the offending throw, of course.  Trey took it like a champ, only crying when he got hit, but never complained once at the emergency room.  He now has three stitches or 'cat whiskers' as we refer to them.  They'll get removed in a week.   Who's next?  

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a great day celebrating with family and friends.  We took the holiday easy, no traveling or big plans.  We took the boys to a local celebration and had a great time.
