Summer Fun

The boys are really settling into summer. They LOVE going around without clothes on...outside we insist they at least wear shorts, and they love playing and eating outside. This past weekend we moved their little table and chairs out on the deck for dinner. They couldn't believe how much fun it was to munch on their corn on the cob and then get up from the table and run around!

Despite loving their small chairs they always want to do what Mom and Dad are doing...not that we sit in them like they do!

They were just feeding each other banana molasses cookies.

Our little cookie monster!

The guys like playing 'ring around the rosie'. Dylan, who is often our rule enforcer, takes it upon himself to make sure Cole goes 'down' at that part of the song.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Father's Day!

To celebrate how GREAT our daddy is we all decided to head out to the 'Enchanted Forest' for the day. We got to see story book land with all the characters we know from our books...like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Here the guys are peeking into the dwarfs home to see who is inside! We kept having to pull them off to the side so other kids could look in the door...but as soon as the other kids were done (or when the guys thought the other kids alloted time was over) they went right back to peek in the door and windows. I think they liked seeing the little animated character inside who was sweeping!

They were big enough to go on one of the rides...a train!

Dylan is making his train noises!

Daddy and Mommy also took the guys down the slide at the 'Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe' slide. They kept wanting to go again and again!

The gang hanging out snacking on French fries! Yummy!!

Spring Time Flowers

Even though it has been weeks of cloudy gray skies with highs only in the 60's our flowers are starting to bloom in the garden.

The guys decided to take their brooms outside and sweep the little walking trails that Mom and Dad made especially for them in the flower gardens. They pushed around the freshly laid bark mulch that Mom and Dad just spent hours getting and spreading! In this picture Cole is determined that the path should go through the nice white flowers. And he is still determined that the path should go there since he walks over those flowers EVERY time he is outside.

Cole is concentrating on his sweeping moves.

Dylan is posing for the camera while sitting on a little bench that Daddy made for them...broom in hand.

Our cuties!
They were holding hands but let go just as I took the picture.
