Our Reader

I love that I showed Eli this book from my classroom library and he couldn't put it down. Every minute or so, you'd hear a little, "WOAH!" or "Check it out!!!" Adorable.

Wednesday Water Fun

Our beautiful summer weather continues.  I will be the first to admit that I am thrilled with the summer we've been having this year.  The past two summers combined didn't give us the same number of sunny warm days that we've had this year above the 80 degree mark.  

Today, the boys and I pulled out the pool and had fun playing in the sun.  I did improvise and created a shady area using a deck chair, broom, sandbox lid, and potted plant.  I should have taken a picture of that monstrosity, I could have made millions with my ingenious invention.  

The boys had a BLAST playing in the water and, of course, with cars.  

First we have to let the water OUT of the pool.

Watering the house.  We'll do anything to try to make it bigger!

They both had to hang on to the hose while they "filled" the pool for the second time.

Cooper really enjoyed flinging water everywhere, especially on his big brother.

He was not a fan, however, when I put the hose away.

 Someone watered my plants for me.  Which is probably a good thing because I'm awful at it.

A Sunny Saturday

We've had some pretty nice weather lately (hence the brownish lawn in the pictures) and while Jess was washing the car, the boys were playing in the sprinkler hose.  At first, Coop wasn't exactly thrilled with it, in fact it was spraying him in the face and he just stood there and whined.  We kept urging him to move but he really wanted one of us to go in there and save him.  When we didn't he finally moved and decided to have fun!  

Eli has really been into having me take pictures lately.  They're either great smiles, like this toothless one or goofy goofy faces.  Gotta love it!

Cooper was having fun tossing Daddy's car rag into the bucket.  He loves the bubbles!

While we worked on dinner, the boys played in the sandbox.

The final event for the evening was when Jess fixed the loose post.  Both kids were interested in what he was doing and the gold deck screws.  Too much fun!

10th Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 10th Anniversary.   I can't believe it's been ten years since we were married.  I guess they're right...time flies when you're having fun!  The next 10 are going to zoom then!!

We celebrated by dropping the kids off with our good friends and we headed downtown.  We rode had dinner on the Space Needle at SkyCity.  It was delicious!  After dinner we went to the waterfront and rode The Great Wheel, it was gorgeous!
