This was a weekend of new nicknames. Braydon is calling Devo "Dev", Robbie is calling Braydon "Cyclopes" and Caleb is still "Zonie Donie Onie"!
Miss you all. Braydon is having so much fun with Devo they chase all over the house together and Braydon can rarely catch his breath! he laughs so hard! he has starting calling her Dev which is so cute. When the front door opens he wraps his arms around her neck and says "no Dev, dont run away, no Dev!" They are gonna be such good friends.
Bryadon also had a run in with a wall this week. Very literally! this is also where the name Cyclopes came from. Soooo.....Braydon likes to run full blast into your legs and give you a hug around the legs. I was standing in front of the corner/seam of two walls looking out the window, he came running at my legs (i didnt see him) and then I took a step forward, he continued full force into the corner with his forehead. Hit the wall and fell flat on his back! now he has a HUGE bump and bruise dead center of his forehead. Poor guy.
The boys started swim lessons this week!! Well really the lessons are Braydon's but Caleb is getting in the water and getting used to floating etc. They are both doing great. Braydon is getting the idea of kicking and moving his arms. He is still a bit hesitant to get his face under water. We are getting there! Caleb seems to be a natural. He loves the water has no problem getting his ears under or hair wet. He floats with ease and doesn't want to get out!
Caleb has taken a few tumbles this week as well. Most due to the adorable relationship between his brother and he. They play so well and then out of no where Caleb gets shoved off a bed or into a wall by his older brother. Bryadon loves trying to help him do things to, unfortunately that usually back fires. Ex 1: help walking, he holds his hand and then gets frustrated that Caleb cant walk as fast as he wants him to so he gets pulling to hard and down Caleb goes. or Ex 2: Braydon wants Caleb to go somewhere with him and Caleb is not listening Braydon gets behind Calebs back, puts his arms under his armpits and tries to pick him up, they generally get a few steps (just long enough for Caleb to let his guard down) and then drop...Braydon cant hold him any longer. Like I have said for the last two weeks to everyone on the phone, if they are not laughing together they are making each other cry.
They have been busy with Mrs. Lauren, making great art and being good boys when they run errands. They were so good last week Mrs. Lauren bought them a movie. Madagascar 2. Braydon calls it the "Move it Move it Movie". You are all invited for a viewing!
Hope I get the videos uploaded for yall. We miss you guys.

Busy Week
Can you all believe the week is over? This week flew by for us and we are already fast approaching Monday. The boys were busy with field trips, learning and sharing.
The boys field trips made a real impact this week and it is all we can talk about. First the Zoo and then to Bounce world. Braydon had a full agenda at the zoo directing what animals they were going to see first, second and so on.
Caleb has been learning words like crazy, he is repeating everything we say and is really starting to communicate! His walking is very impressive. Walking is now his first choice in getting around and his balance is getting better every day.
Bradyon seems to be more interested in Caleb when he is walking around. He is doing a great job helping Caleb with things. He gives him bites of food, he brings him toys, he holds his hand when Caleb tries walking. All very cute! They are Good Friends.
Just for definition sake Good Friends=helping each other 30% of the time, fighting with each other 50% of the time and living with each other in some semblance of peace 20% of the time.

Camping
Hello Family, Happy Mothers day to you all!!
We miss you all. The boys took me camping for Mother's day, WHAT A TREAT!! We had a great time. Lots of excitement, Braydon went fishing with Dad, we went paddle boating, slept in a tent, had a campfire, roasted marshmallows, the whole shabang!
The pictures are great from the trip, hope yall enjoy!
For Mother's Day the boys got me some jamies and a robe! I took the liberty of wearing them all day, playing in the play room with the boys and doing close to nothing, I know yall are jealous.
Braydon went all week and weekend with no accidents. He even did the whole car ride there and back telling us when he needed to go potty! This will be the last potty training blog cause we are no longer in training, we are TRAINED!
Caleb is adorable and was a great sport camping. His favorite thing to do was climb. we get to the campsite, start unloading the car and turn around and he has climbed on top of the fire pit (not lit) and is sitting there watching all the happenings. Too cute.
This is totally off topic and late in coming but I wanted to say thank all of you for Caleb's Birthday gifts. We are coming up on two months without thank you cards from me and I apologize. He loved everything and we are having a blast playing with all the new goodies!

Warriors!
Hello Hello.
I love this picture. Yep, go guys. Jonny and his friends were among the best dressed for the event, just part of what made this it such a blast. The race was good, DIRTY and totally worth the drive. Thanks to Mary and Steve for watching the kids and thanks to everyone for the support text, calls and emails. I am linking the rest of the pics through Snapfish so enjoy!
Outside of the Warrior Dash things have been going great in our house, quick follow ups from last week. Caleb is definitely feeling more daring when it comes to walking, it will be any day now that he ditches the fingers or chairs he is holding on to and will be cruising. Braydon is really doing great at going potty. No accidents for a few days now!! I am also thrilled to announce that the question of Friend or Foe has been answered with a definite FRIEND! The dogs are getting along great and they are having soo much fun.
The boys had another great week. Lots of playing together, chalk drawings on the driveway, play dates with neighbors, a quick trip to the Dr for an eat infection, Play date with old Primrose friends, trip to the park with Grammie, visit with a bunch of family in Dallas and a car trip home, they are pooped!
Love and miss you all!
