When you have a mini van... (part 2)

So, due to traffic (didn't remember there being that ridiculous amount of traffic on 1604 at 3:30, we got home to Dave & Sarah's right at 5, which is when we were supposed to head over to James & Galyn's. Chris had turned his phone off, so I ran inside to wake him, and then went back to the car to make sure the boys were ok, while he gathered himself (he was pretty much in a dead sleep when I woke him!)
We finally made it out to the Lacewell's around 5:30. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time with James as he had to leave for class at 6, but we got some good Galyn time, and John found a new best bud, this time a boy. Why is it that all his best buds live so far away? (More about that in another post) Noah and John hit it off, and were playing like best buds. If one ran, the other did; if one splashed in the water, the other did; if one hid in the closet, the other joined him. It was too cute! I'll let the pictures finish the story:

Galyn was fascinated by Ben and how much he had grown! I barely got to hold him ;o)

Noah introducing Jenny to John, and introducing his backyard as well!

Bryant!!!

Noah showing John his favorite gate, the one to "Aunt Linda's"


"Hmmm, what is this thing. Mommy doesn't have one of these."

Noah: Come over here John. John: No you come over here, Noah

Playing on the swing. Baby Ben got in on the action! John & Noah thought it was great to have a little one in between them.


Swing fun!! I left out the blackmail picture, that maybe will get seen on John's wedding day, maybe not.

Whenever Noah sees a camera, he does this. He loves to cheese!

We were there for bathtime so John and Ben got in on the action! And when I say action, I mean action. There was about 2 inches of water on the floor by the time John & Noah were done splashing each other and dumping water on each other. Ben & Bryant thought it was funny.


I really wish I could have had my camera as Galyn was putting the boys to bed. John jumped right up on Bryant's bed and "read" with Galyn and Noah. Well, he enjoyed looking at all the fun things on Bryant's shelf. Then while I was feeding Ben, Noah went into the closet and closed the door. John opened it and said, "Boo!" They squealed and giggled and did this for a few more minutes, until it became a game of running around the doors in the closet. (They have sliding doors on their closet) Then one would close it on the other, and vice versa. I hated to have to break up all the fun, but we still had yet to see Sarah & Dave, and the Spurs were playing and it was the boys nighttime, so alas, we said goodbye.
The Spurs game left much to be desired. Jenny and her friend left early, and we all went to bed by 10. Wow, that never happens when we go visiting San Antonio.!
