A Very Greenway Birthday (part ll)

H and Liz in the best shot ever. ;) This sums up how great the day was.

Great weather, wonderful friends, fun with the kids and now older AND wiser. :)

Beth's oldest "S" 'monkeying around'.

Beth's #2 "L". Liz & H, sooo cute.

Evan & I. "E", Beth's #3.

H. L keeping bored Smokey company, thank you!

H on his favorite slide. H and Evan about to be on the bridge. H is always so helpful!

E having fun. Family sliding (ok, i posed this but couldn't resist!)

H is going to climb this, he's sooo big! Evan is so strong! lol

My friend Beth, her daughter "A" (just over one month older than Evan), Liz (with Evan) & Kathy.

We're on the playground that we walked to, watching the kiddos play. Beth brought her 4 & Liz brought "H".

Kathy enjoying Evan. Me enjoying Evan.

Did I mention Smokey got to come too!? Yes, I was brave, thankfully Kathy came without kids (not that we wouldn't have LOVED her sweet teenaged boys to come!) and could help me with dog and baby at various times. Thank you Kathy! Next, a sweet picture of Liz and H.

THANK YOU JENALYN!!!!

GREENWAY ADVENTURE

Start here:
Smokey, "going for a ride" in the back of our truck. He LIVES for this, "Sicking the Kitty", "Walks" and "Treats" (a video or 2 for another time).

Eventually, Liam needed a break from our stroller so Smokey took a turn! lol!

Jenalyn tasting the sap of a Hedgeapple, our new facination. ;) (thanks ash and mom!) Learn more here: http://www.hedgeapple.com/. Go get your hedgeapples today! I bet my family wishes they'd taken some with them if they get rid of SPIDERS and mice, WOW!

Our latest shadow puppet experiment.

Playing at Matt, Nanci's, Brooke and Laurens House. Our nieces, thought Liam would fit perfect in this pink tent (don't tell his dad!). lol.

Haircut During, very cute. Haircut After, EVEN CUTER!
Look at that side part. soooo handsome!

"I'm going to play with you and KISS you! Is that your eyeball?"

My sister Jenalyn was a HUGE help to me with going back to work the day after she arrived. She and her 9 month old son Liam took a vacation from firey, heatwaved, sunny southern california and their husband and daddy Darren (thank you Darren!) to spend one week in 24 - 50 degree freezing tempuratures and RAIN! Poor girl. She loves to exercise and really couldn't get out with all the scenarios but we did get to the local "Greenway" for a little walk on Sunday afternoon. It was about 30 out, topps. I had Evan strapped to me with Jenalyn's Baby Bjorn and Michael pushed Liam in the stroller for most of the walk with Smokey getting to come along. Despite the very cold tempatures, we had a great time together. There will be a little 'surprise' picture in there for all you dog lovers... ;).
We also gave Jenalyn a Haircut while she was here and Liam got a very manly one! He was sooo good and sooooo cute! He had a fabulous time with his cousins Evan and Smokey and his best friend of all.... a walker! I just hope the video will load later. For some reason all pictures won't load for me all day so, stayed tuned . . .

Evan trying to be like his older cousin.

We look forward to comparing their size the next time they meet. Maybe Liam won't try to eat my baby next time or roll over him. lol!
(again... load pictures later)
We love you Jenalyn and Liam! Thank you for all your help and compassion for our son. He loves you and misses you.

It won't be the same around here without you!
