Virginia in June

So, just a heads up...

If you're looking for great literary content -
this is NOT gonna be the post for you.

If you're looking for amazingly cute little boys
with the occasional good looking parent thrown into the mix scroll on...


This is "almost" the look Jayden gave me when I got in the car at the airport... He warmed up a little when I gave him my green water bottle.

And even more when given my repertoire of crazy lady faces.
(I'll spare you viewing an image of that - use your imagination.)

Luke was receptive from the get go.
But then, he is a bit younger with possibly less discernment
(the crazy faces worked for him too.)

We spent considerable time at various parks to get some crazies out... As you will see Mr. Jayden is a connoisseur of the park/recreation scene.

and takes great delight in testing out every aspect of each.

He leaves no stone unturned when it comes to exploration.
Literally.

At the miniature golf course
he knew just what to do with all those holes. Holes of any sort.He got every one-
multiple times. We had to refill the magical green flask- a LOT.

Jayden likes to swing.
And Luke LOVES to swing.Though it's sometimes a dizzying prospect.
A little air time.
Did I mention he's a ladies man and loves his gramma?
He is a natural explorer and has no fear of enclosed spaces.

He tends to get totally immersed in things.Both boys have got some ball handling skills.
The windup.The pitch.The follow through.
The delivery. Ahh yes!

They come by the skills naturally.
Dad demonstrated his prowess. Seconds after this image dad beaned Jayden smack in the head.Twice.
Long distance.
Like I said - skill.

Time for some cerebral pondering of the quality of sand.

And then on to new adventures.
One of which was eating out.
Jayden came prepared with high expectations.
Dad helped with diversions during the wait time.
That went on, and on, and on.

Luke waited patiently with mom.
But was thrilled to finally be set free.Not all the time was spent outdoors.
The new apartment has lots of space for wiggly boys.
Who like to take a long run...
And leap! onto dad.

Luke enjoys just chillin.Hanging with dad.

Juggling cups.Oh,
and he is
"The Train Whisperer" Or Wheel Licker.
You decide.

All in all one happy boy!

And while Jayden is a man of action...
(Not to mention style).
He does have his concentration times. Which can be very intense.
Video entertainment times...
(preferably with trains)
Single...or double seating.
His quiet times.
Often with some encouragement from dad.
All of which require occasional fueling stops.
Assisted... Or individually administered.
Back off gramma!
Ahhh...
I miss these cute blue eyed boys.

And look forward to seeing them and their parents again.
Love em!

(yeah- it took me two weeks to get this post finished...I'm cool that way.)

I SOOO LOVE seeing these pictures! Thank you for sharing!

What charmers! (parents too)
Those big blue eyes on both the boys are too much.

You must have hated to leave.
Hope to see them all in the flesh before they are all grown up!

Cute pictures of the boys!! How much fun! Looks like you had a wonderful time. Aren't grandbabies the best? I sure miss mine and we just got back from seeing them.

I can't believe I missed these when you posted them! I check all the time. Cute, cute boys. Luke is a ringer for Jaron. Looks like you had an awesome trip.

Cute little boys. Busy little boys! How nice you got to go out and visit! You are cool that way!

Okay there must be some strong jeans there, because I swear both those boys look just like Jaron! Maybe it's because I just saw him, I don't know but they really do. They are so cute and so different.
I love that Luke and Beckett are about the same age because I can totaly picture him doing those things.
Sorry it has taken me so long to read this post, it's a good thing you haven't posted anything else or I would have missed it!
Oh, I also wanted to see if Janette was in that Earthquake? If so hopefully everything was fine.
Love seeing you!
