37 yrs

Papaw and Mamaw Leffew celebrated 37 yrs this past Tuesday! We didn't get to celebrate until Thursday night and Brandon and I took them to Ruth's Chris. It is so good!! Papaw was cracking me up as I was trying to take pics.

I was able to get a great pic of them together!!!

Rain

Brock and I were in the garage playing and it started pouring the rain yesterday. He wore his rainboots all day, even to gymnastics. Good thing he did, cause it was a heavy downpour in a matter of minutes. Thankfully, it subsided before we had to go pick up sissy at pre-school.

Feeling the rain. He said "wet"

After the rain is over, he decides to get his umbrella and use it. Silly boy!

Final t-ball game

Keira's last t-ball game was sat. morning. We got to bed late the night before and she was tired. She did put forth the effort, but didn't play as well as she did last week. Brock, was in on the action, ready to go. Anytime the ball was hit, he was running after it. We will have no problems with this one, when it comes to playing. I had to stan din the outfield behind Keira the entire game. She was over it towards the end and just wanted to bat.

At the end of the game, the parents all lined up around the bases and the players went around, getting high fives. Well, my child wouldn't do this w/o me and I refused to go. At third base the coach called out their names, and they ran home and received a medal. She wanted the prize! So, I took her to third and she did this part. I have got to cut the cord a little bit! I will be the parent sitting up in Kindergarten every day.

My feelings exactly, little man.

Friday evening fun

Friday evening we went to Papaw and Mamaw Leffew's for dinner and fun. And fun it was! These honestly have to be some of the best times as a family. After a great dinner, we played baseball, played in the water sprinkler, jumped in the trampoline, rode in the escalade, made smores by the fire. Simple things, but possibly the grandest.

Brock is hilarious! Keira trying to push Brock over to the sprinkler, he got mad and was saying "push" "push" and put his hands on his chest, showing us what she was doing. Lately, she has been pushing him down with both hands on purpose. She acts like she is falling or something silly and pushes him down. Just wait little girl, he will be bigger than you one day :) The neighbors black lab, a puppy, came over and Brock was thrilled. The puppy chased him and was jumping up on him. He loved it! I didn't get pics as I was filming this. Well, Keira gets upset b/c the puppy isn't coming to her, so I show her how to call for him. Here he comes - he jumps up and scratches down her back. The meltdown begins. The puppy moves on to Brock, who is just laughing as it knocks him to the ground and jumps on him. I have begun filming her meltdowns, so one day she will see what we all endured in her childhood!! Brock would love a puppy, but the hubby said "No" I am a sucker and would get one, but I really don't need another one to take care of right now.

Water day

Keira's preschool had a water play time Thursday afternoon. I took Brock and he got to play with them. All the kids had a blast sliding, thowing water bombs, simply just playing in water. Keira wore the slide out and Brock enjoyed watching all the kids.

My helper

After dropping Keira off at pre-school, I got the bathroom ready to paint. I knew I could not paint with Brock, so my plan was to just have it all ready. Brock is a big helper and was right under my feet the entire time saying "help" "help" I ended up giving him a piece of tape and he would tape something and I would say "Good Job" and he would grin so big. Then, he would take it down and find somewhere else to tape and he did this the entire time. He wanted to help take off the outlet and light covers, but I didn't let him. He got upset and started saying "help" with a hint of anger. LOL

Marshmallow Fun

Tuesday evening we enjoyed the beautiful evening with family time. Daddy worked in the yard while the kids played outside. We then had a fire and roasted marshmallows. It was a great evening.

Brock actually tried to eat one, but he kept handing them to me. Keira likes them black, as does mommy.

Katie's Bridal Shower

Keira and I had the privilege of helping out (we didn't do much) with Katie's bridal shower. She and Elijah Hixson will be maried in July and Keira was asked to be the flower girl. We are thrilled for them. They are such a wonderful couple, but most importantly, are starting marriage off on the right foot, both being dedicated Christians. They are 2 incredible Christians and are so devoted to the Lord. I know God will use them for His Kingdom. Elijah's mother, Rachel and Mamaw Sherry decorated using a beach theme. Everything was so pretty!

Keira helped put out the tiny umbrellas and shells. Above is the recipie book for the newlyweds. Katie likes to cook and she got several recipies to help her out!! It was a great afternoon and we look forward to the wedding.
