Fun in the Summer Sun!

OK so I spent like 20 minutes putting cute captions on all these pictures and blogger deleted them all, but at least they didn't delete my pictures.... so now my captions will be much shorter and quick in hopes this will post correctly.

We've had a crazy week! Trooper and Megan took us to Botanical Gardens on Thursday morning... Look at how stinking cute this picture is...!!



Couldn't find the snuggly... no worries! Evan fits right in the sling still... maybe. You can think it, we did, "Ummm... where exactly did his body go?"
Evan was measured last Tuesday at the Pediatricians office and he is now between the 95th and 97th percentile for length! He is still in the 55th for weight, but he's getting up there! So, we decided he was ready to try rice cereal for the first time!


Nearly knocked over with excitement. Not really. He didn't really like it, but what kid does at first?

John was a fabulous Daddy and set up a slip'n'slide for Brody. He and Brody played outside for at least an hour. John would sometimes let him ride him like this or he would take Brody and sling him down the slide like a baby bowler. It was hilarious.
Check out the awesome action shot-
Papa John and Aunt Sybil came over for dinner Saturday night. Brody wanted John and me out of the room, but to Sybil he would pat on the sofa beside him and say, "you can sit right here".
Big baby or little lady?
The boys and I were invited to lunch with Poppa and Grandma on Friday, but we didn't realize that meant we got to go to Chuck-E-Cheeses! Brody and Poppa ran around riding on games, taking pictures, laughing and eating "bolicious"(delicous) pizza. Evan certainly had a good time too!
Until overstimulation caused him to promptly fall asleep.
This horse ride was Brody's favorite. He must have ridden it 5 times at least.
Oh and yes...he rode in a monster truck. He was a little freaked out.
Shortly after that we drove out to Lexington to go to the pool with the Ty Tyler girls.
This pool was a part of Gold's Gym and had a great little kiddy pool section with fountains that Brody really enjoyed running around in.

Tristin can now hold her breath and swim under water. I am totally impressed. Maybe she can help Brody figure this out during our family beach trip this year.

Evan loved it too. He chilled with whomever held him. Stayed awake the whole time until I thought he might turn into a giant prune baby. Once I got him out and dry, he fell right asleep in his car seat. No amount of pool noises kept him from sleeping either... not even a screaming kid that came and screamed RIGHT BESIDE him. No worries for this kid.
and finally... something totally funny has occurred in the life of Evan. He has discovered his feet. He will sit in anything that is slightly leaned back and check them out forever. SO fun.

Anyone else want to play soon? We're always up for it!! :)

Ummm yes and especially sign us up for that slip n slide. I'd like a front row seat on John's back...umm but maybe that's weird. Love you sis and can't wait to have some summer fun in August with you and your precious boys.
