Since we've been back...

We have jumped right back into a routine since we got home last week. Scott, unfortunately, had to leave town 2 days after we got home, so the boys and I have been staying busy. Scott had a surprise waiting for the boys when they got home from our trip. He had spent his few days alone building them a fort and sandbox for the backyard. The boys LOVE it! We go out almost every morning in our pajamas to get our day started :)  Bryton started summer camp at his preschool this week. It is just a few days a week for the month of June. Therapies have started back up for Cohen and the therapists are super excited about all of his progress. PT is getting cut back to every other week, YAY! I feel like in the last few weeks Cohen has turned toddler vs. a baby. These boys are growing up too fast!

Playing in the sand before breakfast


I love how Cohen always looks at his big brother

Cohen wants in on craft time too!

Oh the excitement of the magic sponges! He loves these things!

We are so lucky to have such great neighbors with kids the same age. We are together all the time.

Cohen is constantly taking my dish towels...looks like he might be a cleaner just like his brother :)

Making a bumble bee craft

I hope Bryton always thinks emptying the dishwasher is a fun chore!

Where do I begin??

We have been on a traveling hiatus for the last 6 weeks and so I have a ton of pictures to share! Scott had some training in Arkansas and so it worked out to be a perfect time for the boys and I to visit with friends and family. We spent time in NLR with the Riley's, time at the Edwardian Inn with my parents, and then the boys and I headed to FL for a few days to see the Sacco's. I also got to sneak in a quick visit to Texas to meet one of my best friend's from high school new baby boy. Scott's parents also came down for a quick weekend visit at the bed and breakfast. We all had so much fun! The boys got SO much attention and now we are back to the routine and they are stuck with boring ole mom :)

I uploaded the pictures wrong and so they are all out of order....Enjoy!

Measuring cups were Cohen's favorite toy at the Inn.

We helped Honey at her booth for the Edwardian on National Tourism Day.

We always make a creation at Honey's house. This time it was a semi-truck with all the bells and whistles :)

Mother's Day with my boys

Meeting baby Jack! I was SO excited to get to make the trip to see them. He is adorable!

Scott's parents came in town and we went to the Gospel Festival on the levee!

Before his parents started their trek back to New York.

Kelsey and Bryton always had lots of fun together :)

Cohen is into everything that his brother is doing.

I love capturing these sweet moments between the two of them.

Fun times in the sprinkler at the Inn

How big is Cohen?!

Just in case you had any question about Cohen liking sweets :)

Bryton and Honey spent some time in the kitchen making me birthday cupcakes. They were messy, but delicious! :)

Sweet boys!

We made a couple of trips to the Museum of Discovery in LR....so much fun!

Erin's sweet friends surprised Bryton with a pinata just for fun.

Erin was Bryton's favorite playmate

Point Reyes

After church today we decided to take a little day trip to Point Reyes. Everyone has been talking about it and telling us that we just HAD to go check it out. I am so glad we did! It was a fun little adventure for all of us. Our first stop was the visitor's center to get a map and check out some sights. Then we were off to see the lighthouse and to check out all the scenery along the way. It was absolutely beautiful!

The boys playing at the visitors center

It was a little hike to the lighthouse, so Bryton took advantage of a ride on his daddy.

This is the lighthouse that we went to see. It was amazing to see it with the waves crashing all around. There was also a pod of whales that came up as we were about to leave. So glad we walked all the way down to take a look around instead of just looking from above. Bryton was fascinated with it all, especially the horn that blasted every few minutes!
Me and my boys

308 steps down and 308 steps back up.....Bryton walked them all!

Cohen rode on Scott's shoulders on the trek back up the steps, as I lugged the stroller and gave Bryton pep talks :)

On our way back home we rounded a corner to find a HUGE herd of cattle crossing the road. We sat there for a good 10-15 minutes waiting on all of them to pass. The boys loved it! Cohen was squealing and waving his arms. Bryton and I have constant conversations about all the cows (we drive by them numerous times a day) and one question he always asks is how do they move from field to field....now we know!  I have to say it was pretty hilarious....look at the one in the middle staring us down :)
