POTTY TRAINING STINKS...literally!!!!!!!!!
We are working really hard on potty training - doesn't this picture say it all?
Colin still loves every minute with Jack Henry. During this photo session, Colin got tired of posing and just pushed Jack Henry over face down on the couch. I started to fuss and rolled Jack Henry over to pick him up, only to find him practically laughing - it is like he knows Colin is his brother and that everything is just for fun!
LOOK-ALIKES or NOT???

Just sitting around before church one Sunday morning...
We finally ventured out for Jack Henry's first trip to the beach. Of course it was also OUR first venture to the beach with 2 boys...
Oh how different we are with the second child - Jack Henry loved it but ended up with sand all over his face, hands and eyes...mostly because Colin kept throwing sand on everyone. On Colin's first trip to the beach we kept checking to make sure sand touched NOTHING except his feet. What a difference experience makes!
What a sweet sleeping baby!!!!
Last weekend Colin went to Cayden's (a friend from church) 2nd birthday party. It was a water party with sprinklers, a baby pool, waterguns and beach balls. He had a blast!
Jack Henry slept through the party! Colin's loves Trent, another friend from church. He was at the party too and held Colin during present time!
Uncle Alvin and Aunt Mary came to visit us one night - it was a surprise and we were so happy!
We spent a lot of the month of April and May in Chesterfield because my grandma, Ma Ma Brock, was very sick with cancer. We were very sad to lose her in May. If you can find something happy in this sad time, it was having the opportunity for Colin and Jack Henry to spend lots of time with family they don't get to see so much!
Colin's Great-Aunt Rachel always gives Colin whatever he wants, including cupcakes. She is continuing this "giving" tradition from my childhood. Rachel ALWAYS gave me anything I asked for!
Colin can never get enough of his time at Gramma and Pa's - we were there for a weekend recently...Colin's famous line is, "I need to go see the goats!".
Jack Henry is growing so quickly - it is amazing how much he changes from day to day.
Here he is with a big grin and also with Blue - Colin's favorite teddy bear.
We were so happy that during May Devon was FINALLY able to spend a whole entire weekend with us here in Myrtle Beach. Bop (my dad) gave the boys money to spend at Build-a-Bear. Devon decided to build a tiger so guess what his little cousin, Colin, decided to build? You guessed it...a tiger just like his. Devon was such a great big cousin - he helped Colin all the way through the whole process. It was a lot of fun.
Also during this weekend a friend of mine called and asked if we wanted free passes to the new Hard Rock Theme Park (her daughter works for the company). Of course we said yes and we all had a wonderful time. Devon and Burt rode a couple of roller coasters and lots of rides. Colin's favorite ride was the choo-choo train. All three boys (this includes Burt) really loved this place where you could shoot soft balls at each other. Jack Henry and I mostly watched from the sidelines. We stayed until the park held its nightly closing fireworks which were awesome! We finally made it home around midnight after a very late dinner at Chili's. It was a great weekend.
The boys were exhausted by Sunday afternoon. We went to church and then it was off to Georgetown to get Devon home. We sure do wish we could see him every single day!
In April Burt's Aunt Betty Jean, Uncle Bill, their grandson, Hunter and Burt's cousin, Jodi came to visit Granny's in Patrick. It was the first time they had ever met Colin or Jack Henry. We had a great time with them.
Jack Henry is very comfortable in his swing.
