Random Fun

Here are some pictures of the boys everyday life...There are many hours spent playing in the play room. Often we will walk in on what Braden likes to call "Coleman time." ... which translates into hug/tackle time.

Coleman loves it!

Spring Game 2009

Bedtime stories with Dada.

Bathtime games, Coleman started this one...

The Boys while we were away...

Braden and Coleman did great while we were away... or at least that is what we were told. There was a definite grandparent "detox" necessary when they returned home. Aunt Sydney and Cousin Collin came down to VA Beach to help Mumba (who was laid up with a bad neck) and Papa. Here are some pictures of the cousins.

Our Trip

We had a great time on Bryce's business trip to the Dominican Republic at the beginning of the month and we avoided the swine flu... It was our first trip away together since Coleman arrived last February.Our room was the one right over Bryce's left shoulder.
Relaxation...

Braden and Sophia

For most people a trip to the amusement park with the kids is quite an involved day long event. Here in Williamsburg Nina and I go to Busch Gardens for an hour or two to make it through those tough late afternoons. We are very appreciative to have our season passes.

Braden and Sophia with a little PDA in line for the "water ride" as Braden calls it.

The Tram ride to and from the parking lot is sometimes the highlight of the whole trip.

Coleman and Olivia were with us, but alas the poor second children did not get their pictures taken. They enjoy Busch Gardens as well.

Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter! We had a great Easter with Mumba, Papa, Ma, and friends.

We started the day with breakfast with the family.

Then we got dressed for church and opened Easter baskets.

Coleman did not know what to make of the fake grass in his basket. Mama doesn't really like that stuff either. We will be finding it all over the house for months.Yes, Coleman is sporting a Seersucker suit... an adorable hand-me-down from Cousin Collin.Then we hosted our Annual Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard with our friends before church.Braden was extremely diligent in his search for eggs; filling his entire basket.Coleman decided that sliding on the slide was more fun then finding eggs. Maybe he realized that he wasn't going to get to eat any of the candy inside the eggs anyway.On Wednesday we dyed Easter eggs with many of our friends. This was definitely an out on the back deck activity, but Braden did do a test run in the kitchen before everyone arrived.Coleman mostly enjoyed watching this activity:
