Splash Park

Laura and my mom have been taking the boys to the splash park and letting them enjoy the water on these hot summer days. (Not so sure it is cool and refreshing for them though) The boys enjoy every minute of it...as you can see in the photos. I just love the picture of the 3 of them sitting and eating lunch.
Tyler looks so grown up in that Elmo hat. And my boys just look so grown up. Can you believe Brendan is going to be 2 in just a month and a half? Oh my!!!
A special thank you to Laura and my mom for taking the boys out to play...while I am at work. Ethan comes home and tells us all about the splash pad and what happened. Maybe I will be able to go with you guys sometime before the summer is over?!?!

Toy Story 3

Nana and I took Ethan to see Toy Story 3 this last weekend. It was cute...but I didn't know that it was going to be so sad. I don't think that there was a dry eye in the theater at the end of the movie.

Ethan enjoyed seeing Buzz Lightyear on the big screen...and hasn't taken his Toy Story 3 t-shirt off since. He has worn the shirt everyday...even if I hide it in the hamper he always seems to find it.

This is definitely a movie he will want to watch over and over and over. If it is possible to out play DVD's I am sure it will happen to us.

Thanks Nana for coming with us to the movie. He was very excited to call you and invite you out to the movies.

Wonderful News!

I think that I can safely say that Ethan is completely potty trained now!!! I never thought this day would ever come. He actually has been trained for a few weeks now but I didn't want to jinx myself by announcing it.

He has been going to school dry and leaving with his extra change of clothes! I am so proud of him. But it does make grocery shopping more difficult. We could be half way through the store and he looks up at me and says "Mommy I have to go potty!" Off we go running through the store to make sure that we get to the potty on time.

All in all he has been doing a wonderful job and no accidents.

Now only if we could get BB potty trained. :-) He actually has tried to sit on the potty a few times...but nothing.

Wow, I never thought that I would write a whole post on going potty. These are the things I have to look forward to...now that I am a mommy.

But moments like this make motherhood awesome!!

Sleepy Baby Boy

Mister Brendan Michael just waking up from a nap. Isn't he just so cute?? Look at that cute smile he has...will melt girls hearts (hopefully many many years from now). I also call him Hillbilly BB cause he doesn't have a shirt on under his overalls. Nana likes to dress him like that!!! :-)

sun + pool = fun

The boys have been loving summer! They both are swimming and jumping in the pool. They are always asking to go to Nana's so they can go swimming. I have to admit I love to go swimming too. It is a great way to cool off in this summer heat...along with having fun with the boys.

These pictures are from when Uncle Bill was here this past month.

Coloring & Baking

The boys having really enjoyed coloring lately. There is a website were you can print off " just about anything you are looking for" pictures. So the boys have been picking Elmo, Shrek, and Monster trucks. Then we display their art on the kitchen wall. They love to tell us who colored which one.

I was baking a Apple Tart and Brendan was eating all of the apples that I was peeling. Silly Boy!!!
