Grandmother & Granddaddy & The Boys

We went to Hereford last weekend to see Grandmother and Granddaddy. Here are a few pictures from Sunday morning!Thomas is so sweet ~ he loves to hold Grandmother's hand!This is before Will got a case of the sillies!Will has decided to put his thumb up and say "Go Raiders"..................

And as you can see, he thinks it's hilarious!

Thomas Meets Slide

Thomas fell on the slide at the new church playground. Poor kid is such a trooper! He cried for about 5 minutes but calmed down when I gave him his dad's iTouch to play with. This is a picture of the outside of his lip (obviously!)

This is the inside of his mouth. Poor kid ~ the cut on his face is almost healed and now this!

The Zoo 2010

We took a trip to the Abilene Zoo and had a great time looking at all the animals!
Allie and Thomas were ready to get the show on the road.But not before Will got in on the photo op!
Will and Trine got the first ride in the zebra double stroller.
Will was getting a close look at something ~ and I think he was kissing the rock, too!Thomas joined him for a closer look.And now Will and Trine..........Allie wasn't as impressed as the boys were!But she was much happier once Harold "protected" her!

This turtle and about 25 of his friends are what was so interesting!

Will keeping a close eye ~ and squished nose ~ on the monkeys!
Thomas pointing out the monkey at the top of the ropes.

Here's a closer look at him.

Thomas and Will waiting for the rest of the kids for a group picture. I'm not sure what Will was laughing at, but it must have been pretty funny!Here's the group ~ Thomas, Will, Allie, Karter, and TrineWill's got some fish food in his shirt.Allie and Thomas preparing to feed the fish.Lookout below!This is just a small sample of the huge, apparently starving catfish. Ewwww!Louis and his friend didn't have much of a chance to get any food.

Trine ~ the fastest 2 year old I know!

Trine and Melinda getting a good look at the prairie dogs.
Will was warning me to stay away from the snakes ~ thank goodness they were on the other side of the glass!
Thomas was a little too curious!
I was much happier to see him check out the marine life display!

Here are a few of the other animals we saw:

Rodeo 2010

Cate and Codie were watching the bull riding events very closely.

Will and Mommy ~ can you tell he's saying "Cheese!"Thomas sat in my lap for a little while ~ however he wasn't interested in saying "Cheese."

Daddy had his hands ~ or should I say his lap ~ full with Will and Cate!
Will wasn't sure what to think of the silly clowns!Thomas was actually more interested in the tic-tac-toe game on his daddy's phone than he was in the rodeo!Daddy carefully explaining the rules.

Once Thomas got the hang of it he had to show Walter B how to play.

Cate explaining that the horses were "THAT BIG!"Future police lineup? Maybe............

Thomas took off running ~ I love the shocked look on Will's face. As if to say, "How dare he!?"

Thomas Meets Rock

Thomas had a little run-in with some rock steps at the lake this weekend. He was running when he tripped and fell right on the rocks ~ and caught himself with his left cheek. Thomas still has that sweet, goofy smile ~ just with a little extra character added to his face!
Here's a profile picture.

The doctor tried to do stitches, but Thomas would NOT be still enough for the doctor to give him the numbing shot. So we opted for the glue. I'm sure it will leave a scar, but hopefully it won't be too bad! Thomas is such a trooper ~ he has hardly complained at all.
