Outdoor Fun

This was a great weekend, the weather was beautiful (in the 70's and 80's all weekend) and it's still nice today and should be until Monday...we had a great time on Monday hanging out with the Cunninghams, our famliy friends from San Antonio who came to visit for the week, and Timothy enjoyed playing outside pretty much all weekend end long!

I'll spare you all the day by day activities, but basically we hung out either here at home or at my parent's house since last Friday. Brandon and I both had a four day weekend and then I had Wednesday off as usual, so it's been a nice relaxing week. On Memorial Day we went to mom and dad's and spent most of the afternoon down in the harbor, walking around and everyone except mom, Vicki, me and Timothy went kayaking. It was Brandon's first time to go and he loved it. Here's a group photo and then some random funny ones. They had a great time. We spent the rest of the day hanging out and eating dinner and of course, watching the Spurs.

Timothy has played outside almost every day this week, he loves to be outside. He tried to help Brandon with the yard work earlier in the week which was pretty entertaining. He pretty much just wants to throw his soccer ball and swing.

He started swimming lessons last week and he loves them. It's a lot of fun for me too to be in the pool with him and play with him. He's such a little daredevil...he pretends like he's going to blow bubbles in the water and then he just sticks his whole head in there. It's really funny. On Saturday we took him to our first mommy and me gym class. He loved that as well. It's basically a huge open gym time for kids under 4 and they have like a million toys out and a trampoline and a giant swing. It was a lot of fun.

He's still growing by leaps and bounds. He has started eating with a fork and spoon now, it's pretty cute. We've gotten rid of the middle of the day bottle, and now we're working on the morning bottle...I figure I'll tackle the night time bottle last, I'm giving myself until October to get rid of that one!

We had a great time with the Cunninghams this week. I hadn't seen them since Stefan and Stacia's wedding so it was nice to catch up...plus they had never met Brandon! He was happy to have fellow Texans there to watch the Spurs with. The boys are all going tonight to see the Mariners play the Rangers. Timothy loved playing with Mr. Gary and Blake and Barrett and of course loved all the attention from Mrs. Vicki and Cara...by the way can you tell he's cutting a tooth from the nice huge drool spot on his shirt (which I love, the shirt says, "my dad looks like me").

I've tried to get as many pictures in here as I could, it's been hard to find time for taking pictures, but I guess that's what happens as kids get older...anyway, hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend and happy birthday Aunt Karen!!
