Awww!

Flying kites even though we didn't have much wind - just keep running!

Then we had to wait for them to dry so we could decorate

Diaper on the wrong end!

Swinging!

Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa!

They're here! Raid the suitcase for presents!

Fun around the house

He picked out his outfit himself. And he went to Menards and Pizza ranch dressed like this.
More cowboy clothes
I asked the boys to go entertain Grace so I didn't have to get out of bed. Mistake.
