Memorial Day weekend

My family does an annual get together over Memorial Day.  We've missed it every year for as long as I can remember.  This year we made it to the first day.  It was the first time the boys got introduced to the family.  We had a pretty good time.  One or both of the babies cried the entire way back.  3 and a half hours of horrible.  We got pulled over by a police officer about half an hour from home because we only had 1 head light.  A bird hit us earlier in the day, so we assume it knocked something loose or something.  Horrible horrible trip home. 

Here are some pictures. I may delete them after family has had a chance to see them.

Alex took a little nap.  They do not really like being held for long and they love naps, so this was really the best possible outcome.

 

(Great) Grandma U and Ben.  He also took a snooze.

One of the only pictures of all 4 of us.  My sister took like 6 pictures.  This is the happiest of the bunch.

I took the boys out in the front yard when it was really nice.

 

Ben making a grumpy face:

Ben has gotten pretty good at handling his pacifier, but he isn't good at letting it go.  He will grab it out of his mouth and wave it around screaming and crying.  Sometimes he manages to get it back in his mouth backwards and he will just suck on that little stump.  Weirdo.

 

 

Ben? maybe Alex?

 

 

This series is called "Babies Sleeping"

 

Alex was sitting up crying and ended up like this.  Then he immediately fell asleep.

Alex likes to cover his face with blankets when he sleeps.  Maybe that is a sign he'd like to nap in the dark.

 

Ben

 

Ben?

 

Ben?  When I put him there he was sitting normally.  I was sitting on the couch watching him get to this point.  Once he turned over, he fell right back to sleep.  I didn't let him stay like that of course, but it was funny watching him work his way over.
