Father's Day

Will
This is the first picture I put on my blog, but in honor of Father's Day I thought it needed a repost. I love it because to me it shows a lot of the boys relationship with you. Trey is perfectly content just being with you. He can sit with you and fish and talk just as easily as run around and throw the football. Robb on the other hand (as in the picture) wants to get down and get some action going. He wants you to throw him in the air, chase him around, or tickle him. No one can make him laugh as loud or full as you can. One common denominator is how much they love you. Thanks for being such a great dad.


And to my daddy. All the years of happiness with you could not be condensed appropriately into a blog post so I decided to post you as a poppy. The boys love having you stop by for afternoon visits. Thank you for being a wonderful grandfather for my boys.

CMOM

Last Saturday, Will and Trey braved the sweltering temperatures at the golf tournament. I opted to take Robb to the nice and cool Children's Museum.

We are so fortunate to have such fun things for kids to do in Memphis. I was so fortunate to have some of my nieces and nephews with me. Robb loves playing with them, and they are soooo good with him. They had him all around the museum. One of my favorite parts was watching Robb and his big cousin Preston shopping in the little grocery store. The picture below tickles me because to me baby Preston should be the one just learning how to walk and not the one helping my baby toddle around. My how time flies....

While Robb had a great time being whisked around the CMOM all morning, let's be honest he would have had just as much fun with this group sitting in the grass with nothing to play with. The big kids on the other hand had a ball getting to play with all the stuff they remember from when they were the little kids.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Yes, it is VERY hot in Memphis. But it is so fun to go with my boys to a Redbirds game. Will loves to watch sports, and he always explains what is going on so we can keep up:) He was thrilled that the boys were able to and wanted to watch the action on the field (Trey more so than Robb but Robb enjoyed watching all the action in the stands).
This game was on Memorial Day. During the game, the announcer asked veterans and people currently serving in the armed services to stand up for recognition from the crowd. Trey was super excited to see real army men in the stadium. It was a great way to spend Will's day off.

Green Beans

The title of the post is Will's nickname for Trey and Robb's cousin Hank. Last summer at the beach Hank ate baby food green beans everyday. So the name started Hanky Green Beans now shortened to Green Beans. Anyway we loved having Hank visit us for two whole weeks. Farrell and Hank kept Robb while Will, Trey, and I were in Disneyland.

Then we were back to get quality cousin time.

At times I think my boys were a little rambunctious (ie. bath time) for sweet Hank but by the end of the visit he was splashing in puddles and getting sprayed by the hose. Top five memories from their trip:

Bath Time-I would not let myself post the pictures but they are funny.
