Month 13 - Part IV

While in Odessa, we got to spend an evening with Cory's cousin Alisha, her hubby Luis, and their son Gavin who is about 6 months older than Brian.  The party also included Alisha's brother Colby, his girlfriend Tiffani and her three kids, Alisha's parents Lisa and Earl, Cory's parents Dell and Brenda, Cory's aunt Mary Ann, and his grandmother Grammy.  It was a great night, and the kids had a wonderful time playing.  I took like 200 pictures, and I won't post them all here, but here's a smattering of what we got.  Brian got the first stiff-arm take down of the night, but they were about even by the end of the evening.  Brian did great, even though this was the first time he'd been around lots of older kids in a busy play area like this.

Cute ones of Gavin ...

I'm not sure what they were doing, but they were both doing it.  :)

Gavin was trying to draw the foul here.

 

Our attempts at getting a picture with the two boys together ... first with Papa Dell (Gavin wasn't happy) and then with Alisha (Brian wasn't happy).

This series went like this.  Brian and Gavin each have a ball.  Gavin decides he wants both balls.  Gavin gets both balls.  I capture the look of disgust on Brian's face!

Month 13 - part III

While we were in Odessa, we got to visit Cory's cousin Trey at the fire house while he was on shift.  Brian had fun in the fire truck!  We also got to have dinner with Cory's brother Scott and his kids Rilee and Garret.  This was the first time Brian got to meet his uncle and cousins.

 Looking through the front windshield ....

Checking out the lights!

Brian noticed the keys (in the first picture) and went for them (in the second). 

 'Driving' the fire truck.  Hey, are you guys watching me?

 Brian hit the button to open the garage door - and was fascinated as it was rolling up.

Standing up in the seat, playing with all the cool buttons and knobs. 
Do you see all this cool stuff, Daddy?

The boys ...

Wandering around the bay ... see how little he is next to those big tires

Proof that our sweet, well-behaved boy isn't always.  
For those who doubted ... :)
