Surf n Turf...

We enjoyed the pool during our spring break last week in the St. Geezy... as the cool kids call it.  :)  Our little fish are getting to be awfully good swimmers.  RyGar is a good sport and jumps in so they can swim with the freedom of no arm floaties and I get the, "Did you see that?" look of accomplishment 112 times as they swim farther and faster to the safety of his arms.
Ace is not quite as comfortable swimming sans floatation devices just yet.  He is, only three.  But does he love the water!  And have we mentioned that he loves to do his own thing?  Steer his proverbial ship?  Be free of anyone's requests impeding his own judgment?  Well he loves it like a true boss man.  And the pool is a place I'm willing to go with it if the floaties stay on.  :)
Because it almost always results in this.
Sleep, Baby, Sleep!
Speaking of boss men... 
Dax, you are truly one rad kid.  And I see why Avery from preschool has a crush on you.
:)
And now, bring on the beef - cause it's what's for dinner.
The boys spent HOURS playing in the back yard.  Mostly they are on the hunt for the lizards that occasionally get brave enough to show themselves.  On this trip they were having target practice using their new Marshmallow guns.  But also, The back yard is where they live the bulk of their lives -- and it's the only place we allow them to eat Otter Pops.  No brainer.
They hold races, they hunt for bad guys, they wash the big rocks that line the beds in the yard.
They are becoming amazingly good at hangin' as a crew for long periods of time.  Which means I have become a beaming "Peeping Tom"... no joke, I just look out the window and smile and laugh at all their little antics.  So much entertainment, right there.
And if this isn't the picture of brotherhood, I don't know what is.
As they say, "Sometimes, being a brother, is better than being a Super Hero."
Thanks for always being up for a little "Surf n' Turf" boys.
We adore you.
