4th of July Celebration

My parents neighborhood has a parade every year. I can remember doing it every year as a kid. You decorate your bike, wagon, or yourself and meet at the clubhouse. There is a fire truck there to lead the parade around the block and back. Then you get popsicles. It's a family friendly hour filled with giggles and smiles.

This year, my sister and I decided to take the boys. Justin has "big truck" (a Jeep Power Wheels). We decided to deck it out and let Justin drive David through the parade. HUGE hit. The boys had a blast! They didn't even care that it was raining a little and it was hot. the popsicles must have made up for that.



It was a great morning, and I know that we will do it again next year!



Weekend Fun

In case you were wondering, it has been HOT in Indiana. Since it has been so hot, we have been spending a lot of time in the pool. Last weekend, Nate was bored with the pool, so he made a Slip-n-Slide in the backyard. David LOVED it! I think it will be made again soon!

He wasn't totally convinced that it would be fun at first...

...but quickly changed his mind.

 

Come on mom, AGAIN!!

Need to fix it.

Drink break.

Fixing his swim diaper.

All in all, it was a great Sunday afternoon with my boys. 



David can do a somersault!

David has been standing on his head for weeks. He thinks it is hilarious to look between his legs. A few days ago, he flipped over and started crying. He hadn't stood on his head again, until today. Durin speech this morning, he was showing off for Miss Jennifer and flipped over. She clapped. He thought it was cool. He has spent a lot of time flipping today. He is so proud of himself. The sun glasses made it "cool momma". He is such a ham.

A summer evening

Last week we had some really nice days and cool(er) evenings. Nate, David, and I love to spend nice evenings outside. Last week, I was reading my book in my outside oasis, when I looked up to see this...

Nate was working in the yard, and David decided that he needed to help. The best part was David's diaper hanging out and Nate's...umm..undies hanging out. Two peas in a pod. (Nate said I couldn't post his rear on my blog.)

This is hard work mom.

David is a helper. He will help with anything, well, anything outside. Inside is another story. :) He has his own set of tooks and had been helping Nate with his yard work whenever he can. Now if I could just get the same help with the dishes...
