Catching Up!

I'm seriously behind!!  We have been so busy this summer.  I can't believe we are already one third through.  We've been having lots of fun adventures.  Here's some of what we've been up to.

Jackson took swimming lessons in early June.  He would crack me up because whenever it wasn't his turn to go he would play with the props instead of watching like he was supposed to.  He did well but he was not a fan of floating on this back and when jumping to the teacher he would only do it if he was holding  their hands.


















We have spent a lot of time with our friends, Jacob, Luke,  and Sarah.  Definitely one of the highlights of our week.  I am so thankful that we live close enough to get together so easily.
















We played at Aunt Anne's for Father's Day and Ryan got in the pool for the first time.  Thanks Jacob and Lukie for letting us use your hand me down sun hat! 















Ryan loved petting the puppy dogs with G

and snuggling with Dada.

We went to my mom's house.  Alex and Jackson played (and fought) together a lot.  Ryan had a tooth coming in so he basically cried/fussed the whole time.

Jackson is not a very good driver.  :-) 

While at mom's, we took Jackson to see his very first movie at the theater.  Of course it was Cars 2!  I think Jackson's favorite part was that I let him eat as much popcorn as he wanted.  We payed for it later with 4-5 trips to the bathroom at bedtime.  It really was fun to experience his first movie with him.

The best part of the trip was getting to visit with Nana. 


Hope you all have enjoyed a great start to your summer too!

So glad you guys are enjoying your summer. I love the picture of Jackson reaching for the pool toys, oh how he makes me laugh! That and him eating every piece of food he finds on the floor! Oh boy!

We too have enjoyed our weekly playdates. I was reading a Cars book to Luke tonight and there were stickers at the end and he pointed to all the Mater stickers and said we should give these to "Tackson" as he says! :-)

I can relate to your busy summer! It's just go, go, go with no stopping! But that's a great thing, you are making awesome memories for your sweet boys.

I loved the picture of Jackson's new buzz cut with his beautiful blue eyes. That definitely says summer to me!

So glad that you're having such a great fun-filled summer and I can't wait to see you guys again soon!

Sounds like a great summer so far!! Family, friends and fun. And, some water activities to help with the heat!! =) Enjoy!

I think Alex may have sent Jackson a few "notes" on how to "participate" in swim lessons. Alex was also very much into the props, not floating on his back, and only jumping in with help.

Getting to see the pictures with Jacob, Luke and Sarah makes me a bit jealous. I know I'll really feel it when I get to see pics of all the kiddos together when Lauri comes up to visit. *Sigh*

Hope you all continue enjoying your summer! Stay cool!
