Mav & Carlile Late-July

Saturday, July 22, 2023


I had a new camera and I was just trying out the new lens with it - while Mav and GranGran played.  




Don't really have commentary from this day - too long ago and I can't really remember anything!  ha!  


Mav loves to look at the photos on display - especially those of his parents on their wedding day.  :) 




We were all enthralled with what was going on down at the horse barn!  We were watching a man take a look at Gemma to possibly buy her.  He ended up buying Luna instead (which was actually a better deal for Jackson!)  

I went ahead and tested my new camera and lens  :)

We babysat Carlile while Brianna had her play practice.  Mav was at VBS and Jackson was finishing up haying in Columbia (in brutally hot weather!  It was 103 here!!)  

Carlile likes to sit up in the play seat with his blanket around him


He really engages!  He talks and makes eye contact and communicates.  :) 


He also has this very concerned look... ha!  That furrowed brow gets a real workout from Carlile!  :) 



He wasn't too sure about those toy figures in the play seat.  :) 


Marvin has such a way with babies...
what a wonderful man!

Jonathan is sure getting skilled, too!

Sweet happy boy.  Great personality.  He talks and talks and moves his whole body - very expressive.  Talks much more than Mav did at this age. 




Love that little ornery look!  :)

After Sunday lunch we babysat Maverick while Jackson finished up haying.  (Brianna and Carlile were in St. Louis).  


This Dress Up Joey has been the best toy!  Maverick still loves it!  Uncle Jonathan was helping him get the hat on just right.  :) 



ta da! 

Mav said the fireman is his favorite - I think he said he wants to be a fireman when he gets older.  I told him that I bet his preschool will get to go visit the fire station in person this year!  :)  (surely they will...) 



After his nap he wanted to play with the ‘alligators’.  He was having a fun time putting them all together.  And then he decided to make alligator soup.  He put them all back in the container with his ‘secret ingredient’ of two little trucks.  :D  Then he put them under the chair and said they were cooking.  He had both of us use hand fans to get them to cook.  :D  Then he served it to me and I told him it was delicious!!  :D This kid just has creativity coming out of his pores.  :)

First Mav and I stopped by Grandpa Jack's house for a bit.  Mav was excited to show him his toy bison.  :) 


Then, of all days... we have been begging for rain but really didn't want it on THIS day when Jackson had just cut the field and they were trying to hay it.  Rain wasn't expected but here it comes!  Mav wanted to swim and we decided to go out for a bit, but were keeping a very close eye on the sky and the radar.  


Mav was amazed at Jonathan going underwater!  :D 




Jonathan helping Mav with his swimming skills - telling him to use his arms in front while kicking.  But Mav wasn't quite getting that.  :) 








Mav telling Jonathan to 'hold his nose and go under again'.  :D 


Storms were getting closer - we were keeping a close eye on things to know when we should get out of the pool. 


It was actually a lovely day to be in the pool - not as blistering hot!



Those skies are getting dark! 


I was so glad to see Jonathan enjoying the pool finally!


love this kind man

Mav having a blast with Uncle Jonathan :)


Okay guys... it's time to get out...



The weather is definitely getting closer...


But it sure makes for a dramatic backdrop for photos!


thankful for these two, for sure!
