B-E-A-UTIFUL Spring Day

We had a great day today full of fun and the outdoors!
Len and Kyle came over and we all walked downtown for the boys' haircut appointment. We took the stroller, but the boys walked all the way there on their own (well, holding hands with Len and Kyle). They were so happy to be out and enjoying the beautiful weather, it was sunny and 60 degrees. We pointed to and talked about all kinds of things on the way. Jack and Quent love vehicles, flags, trees, etc, etc. So, we saw all kinds of cool things!
Quent would walk along then stop and do a little dance, he was so happy!

When we got home Gramma (my Mom) met us there with Alex (my youngest cousin, 4 years old) to play and have lunch. My Uncle Andrew (Alex's dad) is renovating my parents' bathrooms so Alex came to play with us while hi dad worked. Jack and Quent love playing with Alex, its like they are with Brendan, everything is so amazing and funny that he does! Alex has a hard time sometimes because the boys are not old enough to play like he does, sharing and following what he says don't come easily to 2-21 month old toddlers, but he plays well with them on the whole. They were loving all the fun time with Gramma too. After Lenny and Kyle had to go, we had lunch and then Jack and Quent napped while Alex rested, watching a movie.

After naps, we all went over to Aunt Barb's house for a visit and dinner. Uncle Don made yummy pork on the grill and homemade mac and cheese (Jack and Quent's personal fav). We also got to visit with G.G. (my Gramma, we call her GG, short for great-gramma) and the Gekelers from Maine. My Aunt Nancy, Uncle Tom and cousin John (we missed Meg this time) had come to MI for a funeral in his family. We enjoyed the visit and Quent and Jack loved playing and running around!

It was a late night for the boys to get to bed, but they were asleep before they hit their beds from such a busy, fun day!
