fun in G-boro

This last week we went to Greensboro to visit my parents and just hang out and relax. Spencer and Nikki and cousin Kelan came too and we're so glad they made the 17 hour drive to see us! Suprisingly I didn't take very many pics, there was a lot of sleeping in, napping, barbecuing, baseball watching ofcourse and just hanging out, but here are some hi-lights from the trip.... trying to stay dry with g-pa during the rain delay at the baseball game

wearing our matching grasshopper shirts thanks to g'ma Tina!

It finally stopped raining but only in enough time to enjoy 3 innings before bed-time

The four of us got to enjoy the water park at Carowinds while g'ma babysat...shhh don't tell Kelan how much fun we had in the wave pool!

But don't worry we took the boys swimming the next day and they loved it!








Then we had a night out, g'ma babysat again....THANK YOU!
We enjoyed the sounds of Mo-town and Carolina buffet, mmm tasty.

Red, White, and Blue!

Our best attempt at a family photo

This is Stephen holding Brooks and Oliver, the son of our friends that had the BBQ, I would like you to notice the scared/nervous look on Stephen's face....I don't think he's quite ready for 2 yet!

It's a baby swim party!
Looks like he's enjoying it but the tears and crying begin right after this photo is snapped, it's too cold for his taste.

Man-ing the grill, and dang good at it if I do say so myself- glad he's finally getting into this whole grilling thing- took long enough!

Fellow party goers and enough food for about 5 more BBQs-
THANKS to Tamara and Andy for being such great hosts, we had a great day!

Brooks right before the fire-works were about to start....

Right above my head is the Empire State Building all lit up in red, white, and blue

THE most AmaZing fire-works display I have ever witnessed- six syncronized shows all in a row over the Hudson River with Manhattan skyline right behind.

This was his face through the whole thing, not a peep or cry, he LOVED it..... Brooks did too, hah!

THE END....what a great 4th of July!

Our little (BIG) water baby!

This was his first bath....
I was giving Brooks a bath today and I realized how BIG he looks on his sponge now...he's weighing in at about 16 lbs and he's 25 inches long!

Almost 5 months old!
Swimming with dad over at our friend's pool, he really does love the water even though it doesn't look like it here.

Goings on Lately.....

I love this pic, he sat like this all on his own!
Aunt Lex came to visit....

Picnic in Bryant Park..

Time Square and Brooks was actually awake to see it this time!


Our first decent family photo at my parents beautiful new house in NC.

Brooks had had enough photo shoot for one day

Rascal Flatts Concert!!!
My camera died so these were taken with Stephen's phone, not bad.
