Ty the Ball Player

Ty spends most all of his outside time hitting the ball off the tee. He loves to play ball!



The bat and the tee are almost as big as he is, but it doesn't slow him down.
Such concentration


As you can tell by the long shadows he does this clear into the evening..............PLAY BALL!

Cooper and the Sand Box

Cooper loves to play in the sandbox. The funny thing is if he's in, he wants out and if he is out, he wants back in!





This day it seemed he spent his whole time climbing in and out........maybe just practicing.



This sand box was covered by the snow clear up to the roof line. This is where the pictures of Brooks climbing up to the roof were taken. Mike spent days digging the sand box out. As you can see we finally made it back to the ground. Yeah Spring!

Fun Test

This is fun, try it out!

Ty does love being naked

While in California Ty had trouble leaving his swimming suit on! He loved drying off by laying in the sun. Au natural His big brother taught him to potty in the grass before getting in the pool so he would not potty in the pool
If you look closely you can see his little tan line!

Some photos by Brooks

As promised...... some pics from Brooks and his new camera. Apparently he likes to take pictures of his feet. There were probably 20 of his feet when I downloaded these pics .

Our feet too.Off the back deck--he was trying to get a hummingbird in the shot, but they were too fast for his camera. You can tell the importance of his toys, here are just a few favorite toy shots
His camera has a neat stamp feature that will put a stamp on the pics, it is fun for him!It is pretty neat to see his perspective on things--through the eyes of a 4 year old.






And finally...............Devil Dog Dixie

Even Super Heros Need A Break

Cooper loves wearing the Super Hero cape. I think he loves it because it is his big brothers.Apparently this day he was a weary, sleepy, superhero "I'm back--just needed a little break!"

"I'm out of here"
"Anyone need help"

A Moment to brag

I am sure you expected this to be about the boys, but I just wanted to brag about my Dad a little bit. The first weekend in May my Dad was invited to give the commencement address and his Alma mater Northwestern Oklahoma State University. My dad did not attend his own college graduation because he had already started Graduate school at the University of Texas. My Grandma Dorothy attended the ceremonies just to hear my dad's name read because he was the first in his family to graduate from college. In giving the address at NWOSU he was able to experience graduation in a new way.In his great speech he spoke some words of encouragement, gave some advice and provided an insight into what is to come for these graduates.He is very modest about this invitation but in thinking about it, very few of us will be asked to give the commencement address at our Alma mater! It is quite an honor indeed!
