memorial day 2011

fun with cousins in the backyard

summer is here!

great morning at the splash park

Bo went to Indy for the weekend so Abby, Hunter and I headed to Longview for some cousin time! We had a great time playing and spending most of our time outside. All of the kids got along really well and Abby is already planning our next trip back. Summer is here for sure! Thank you, Meredith, for a FUN weekend. We will do it again soon!

abby's last day of mdo

First day of MDO - Aug. 2010

Last day of MDO - May 2011

How is it the end of the "school" year already? So crazy that Abby has gone to MDO for 2 years now. She LOVED this year. Her teachers were AMAZING and she really grew up and for most of the year didn't think twice about going.

Best quote of the day - "Mom, if today is my last day of school and last week for dance class, when is my last day of church?". Abby still has a hard time at church because there is a different teacher each week. Abs is all about consistency and structure. She is doing better, but it's not her favorite right now! : ) Made me laugh out loud. Love my BIG girl!

my boys

Love these boys so so much!!!!!

new app

My friend told me about an app that I knew nothing about. It's called hipstamatic. I am still trying to figure it out and play with it, but I love the pictures it takes. Maybe I just love taking pictures of my kids, but either way it's an app to know about!

look who's in a bumbo

Yep! Lumpy is big enough for a Bumbo now. He can't sit in it all that long, but he loves to sit up and watch Abby now. So precious. How is he big enough for this???

special visitors

Aunt Ebby

Aunt Sarah

We had two special visitors come all the way from East Texas to meet Hunter. Well, I think they really came to shop in Dallas, but they SAID it was to meet H!

Aunt Ebby and Aunt Sarah are sisters and they are Bo's aunts. Ebby has wanted Bo to have a son ever since the day we got married. It is really important to her that the "Bain name" be carried on. When we found out we were pregnant with Abby, she said "she was going to pray every day that it was a boy". Well, I did not make that call after finding out that we were having a girl!! She, of course, was happy for us but said that she would just start praying for the next one to be a boy! NO PRESSURE! : ) Needless to say when we found out we were having a boy we were thrilled to make this phone call to Aunt Ebby. She was so excited. I think she checked in with me and how I was feeling more than anyone else in the family! After Hunter was born she called about every other day for a while to see how HE was doing! So funny.

We loved that she got to come meet the BAIN man! I hope and pray he lives up to all the expectations!

bath time

We love bath time at our house! I know once Hunter is actually splashing Abby and messing with her bath toys it won't be near as much fun, but we are loving it right now! Abby is a huge help in the tub! H loves his bath and Abby will sit in there for 30-45 minutes playing so it's a nice evening activity as we wait for Daddy to get home. Anything to pass those last few hours of the day, right?

what I found the other day.....

...when I walked into the room. SWEETNESS
