Catching up: Part II

Towards the end of spring break, Russ and Gigi took the boys to the rodeo.  Once again they loved seeing the John Deere big boy toys and riding the rides at the carnival.  This year, Ryan was big enough for a couple of rides and he enjoyed them equally as much as Kyle.

Catching up: Part I

It has been a busy spring and we have taken lots of photos, and I am slowly getting a chance to start blogging again.  The boys stayed busy during spring break.  Russ took that week off work to help out since Toby was newborn and the older boys were out of school.  The first night of spring break Russ and Kyle went camping at Brazos Bend State Park.  They had a blast!  Kyle had been so excited about his camping adventure and it exceeded his expectations I'm sure.

He's here!

We welcomed Tobin "Toby" Reed Gray into our family on February 28th at 10:49 AM.  He weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz. and was 21.25" long.  He shares a birthday with his aunt Sarah.  We are adjusting to our family of five!  Prepare for picture overload!

Last photo pregnant!  Excuse the exhausted face!

Great set of lungs!

We always write a word on Kyle's toaster strudels...this was the word Russ wrote after Toby's birth

Headed home!

Here are some pictures of what we've done so far this year:

Flashback Friday - Volume 30: Christmas Season

I'm way behind on the blog, so this post will be a flashback of our Christmas season in pictures.  We had a great Christmas spending the night of Christmas Eve with the Grays and Christmas night with the Nevilles.  The boys woke up excitedly Christmas morning and we spent most of the day building Legos and putting toys together!

We started the month of December off with a visit to the local realtor for pictures with Santa.  Ryan was NOT a fan of Santa, so you can see in the picture below that I had to get in with him.  Kyle got some alone Santa time, which he loved.

The following weekend we went to the Spring Valley snow day with Gigi, Aunt Kelly, and Berkley.  This was the second year the boys participated and they loved playing in the snow...and eating pizza!

And eventually we reached the big day!
