CANNONBALL!!

Every year our summer gets better & better, and things get easier & easier. Point: I can now take C&P to the pool solo and not worry about them running away, and they generally know the rules & listen. The amount of things I bring into the pool are less & less...2 towels, 2 juice cups, 2 snack, sunscreen, 2 diapers, sanitizer, a bottle of water & sand toys...1 bag, DONE! It's so nice!

Here's some of our favorites from the past week...

She's a beast, so she's pretty good at climbing, obviously.

He does this at least 20 times in a row before doing anything else.

The Buddha Belly.

I have no words.

His other passion...

Fourth of July

The Fourth of July was by far the busiest day, EVER! We took three showers it was so HOT (100+ degrees & I can only assume 100% humidity)! We started with the most candy-filled parade known to man, headed to Grandpa's & then completed one of our Summer Bucket Lists...THE FIREWORKS!!! C&P loved it all, & were troopers until 10:45...and no, they did not sleep in the next day.

Suckers & Popsicles!

Oh, hey Gov-naah!

We met up with some of C&P's cousins...

If the float didn't throw candy, then there was no point in it even being entered.
(Of course this one threw candy)

Grandpa's pool is officially open!

Picking flowers for Mommy!
"Smile?..I'm sitting aren't I?"

The sprinkler gets another!!

"I want YOU, to get me a popsicle!"
"I know you got me dressed after the pool, but I'm not done playing in the water."

FIREWORKS!! He's not crying, he's squealing!

Our new "spot"...carnival, flag, humidity...

Project 365 - Week 24

It's starting to really heat up around here! I want to put on record that I never complained when it was only 70 degrees in June!

Sunday: After 2 years the TV has been unleashed...I hope it doesn't run away!


Monday: Oh, hey guys...fancy seeing you here.



Tuesday: He would play on the iPad all day if I let him.



Wednesday: She likes the painting part, but not the clipping part.


Thursday: Ya' know...sometimes when it's 100 degrees, you just have to get a little messy.


Friday: Comforting Fletcher during a storm...


Saturday: They like Target for many reasons, but super close planes are the #1!

Happy Aniversary!

Celebrating 4 years of wedded bliss,
& a whole lot of diapers!

Some of my favorite photos...

Love this guy!
