C favorite spot?

The ottoman!

Father's Day ...

Z made it in town just for Father's Day ! With the heat we decided to introduce C to the water and have some fun....



Z - no longer afraid of the big pool!

I have to say I am a lucky girl to come home to these three lookin' guys !

To one of the best fathers around !

the sprinkler ...

So what do you do with a toddler on a hot summer day when you are watering new grass you planted in back yard ? stick him in his bathing suit and make a day of it....


At first - C kept his distance...

He was not sure about Dad's plans to run thru it ...

but soon realized how much fun it was...

and was soaked and having a blast !

home sick ...

C caught a stomach bug this week - which meant a day at home. We were going to try some toast for lunch - but I guess Little Man was not up for it . He ended up sleeping for 4 hrs !

yes that is our kid...

Ms Mattie turned 2 and we celebrated at the zoo! C was really excited for the donuts and milk and a chance to see all the animals. After a sugar high - and running around in circles (by himself and saying 'yes that is our son ' multiples times ) they brought in a rabbit and tortoise for the kids to pet. C was SO excited!

All the other kids, sat politely in the parents lap for their turn to pet the animals - yes that is our son - trying to make a break for it....

We headed out to the petting zoo - to burn off some of the sugar....

C asking the goats - are you ready for me yet !?

bc I'm going to chase you around around .....

Sporting our new hat. ..

hanging out with Dad ...

C trying his hardest NOT to come inside ... ( he likes to become dead weight )

Our 1st remote car --- ( C was unsure what to think of it !)

Playing Peek -a -boo ...

some night time music ....

3 day weekend ...

3 day weekend = we need to get out of the house. So what better place on a sunny day then the zoo. C started buttering me up as soon as we got in the car by "winking" at me the whole trip into town...

We were practicing our elephant sounds...

we were lucky enough to see this little fellow - who was just about to get a bath...

C telling the elephants bye ( along with the hay, the trees , and the strangers around us ... he does not like to leave anyone/thing out... )

our fish face ....

and what do we do on day #3 - but head back outside and invite ms mattie over. Nothing better than a little swimming - sand eating - bubble chasing in the back yard ....

and of course showing off all our toys - got to keep the ladies happy !
