Swim Time

We have lots of catching up to do (3 months worth), but for now we'll start fresh and move forward with our current lives.  We'll go back and try to catch up over the last few weeks.  We took Liam swimming for the first time ever, and Gavin for the first time in Kansas.  They both had a great time.  Gavin's swim lessons helped, hopefully we can spend a lot of time at the pool this summer and make a little swimmer out of him.

6 month update

The other night we watched a 45 second video of a baby laughing in the back seat of our car.  Several people watching said "oh look, it's Liam"...nope it was Gavin.  There are lots of things Liam does that reminds us of Gavin, but as you can see from the pictures below...they are both BOYS, definitely brothers, but still each have their own unique look.

and just in case you are wondering, Gavin is on top, Liam is on bottom.  Liam has his official 6 month check up in a week; we'll put up the stats for the two after his visit.

Father's Day

We had an awesome Father's Day weekend!!  We spent it in our new house playing, cooking, and having fun together as a family  Gavin was SO excited to give daddy his card because it played music...Superman of course.  It was in the shape of a trophy though, so Gavin kept calling it the Piston Cup (from the movie Cars). The boys got their daddy a new big tool box for the garage.  It even has wheels, oooooh!

Happy Father's Day dad!  We love you!!!  XOXOXO

The 4 Month Stats

Today is Liam's 4 month birthday.  He's such a great baby, all smiles all the time!!  Here is how he stacks up to big brother when he was 4 months old.  Gavin by the way is completely into Liam now.  Very protective, loving, and excited!!  Liam gets the giggles when Gavin is being silly.

Adorable!!

Green Gringos

We may not be Irish, but we always celebrate like we are.  How can you not with a middle name like "Patrick".  It is one of Barb's favorite holidays so the boys will always be roped into making the most of the green holiday.

The day wouldn't be complete without a GREEN BOOGER.

Gross, what a typical little boy.

(Sorry Gavin, I couldn't resist)

Tummy Time = Crabby Time

Liam does NOT like tummy time quite like Gavin did.  He does however love to hold up his head and sit up.  So he's getting plenty of exercise and strengthening his neck muscles, just not on his tummy.  Check out the grip he has on the blanket - he was not a happy camper.

Fun with Friends

Thanks to Hilarie for babysitting so Barb could get her haircut.  The boys loved playing with Jayden and Avery.  Gavin talks about Avery all the time - hope we get a couple more play dates in before we leave.

 I think Jayden needs a baby brother!! :)

Gavin made the kids play rock band with him, so cute!

Fun with Family

**Family time is the best**

 Sunday mornings cuddled together in bed

 Mommy and Liam - a rare photo (thanks Samara)

 Cousin Grant was here for 1 day, glad we got to see him.  He's the first of the Seaman side to meet Liam.

Happy 3 month Birthday Little Liam

We love you to pieces and are so happy you're part of our family.

Happy Birthday Peanut!!

Already getting so big!!

Ragnar Del Sol

Have you ever heard of a Ragnar race?  The Arizona version is a 200 mile race from Wickenburg, AZ to Tempe, AZ.  We had a team of 12 runners, each running 3 legs over the course of 36 hours.  In short it was a LOT of fun, but there was also a lot of sweat, no sleep, snacks not meals, long rides in a van involved to complete the race.  We'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!
