Happy 21st Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Perfect day for...

flying a kite. It is WINDY here today. I'm mean REALLY windy. This morning we headed outside to fly Parker's kite. He was getting mad...who would've thunk, because it wouldn't stay up for him. So Daddy took over. Then I put the camera down and got out the Nemo kite and we both had them going for awhile. It was rather fun.

We decided to take a break from the pool today. It's so windy we'd be chasing everything we brought but it is HOT here today too. We've just been chillin at home today playing with trains and napping. I hope to go on a walk this evening...hopefully we won't get blown away.

Just playing!

Took some pictures of Cole today. I tried my hand at the white backdrop again. It just takes so darn long to edit them. So this is the only one I'm posting. I couldn't get the background completely white so I decided to play with the gradient feature. And voila...here's what I did. Not the best but I don't mind it.

Went to the pool this afternoon. Parker threw a fit because he didn't want to go, but as soon as we got there he wanted his swimsuit on...lucky I brought it. Cole loves the water too. We swam in the big pool today. Cole is so fun instead of just kicking one foot at a time he swims like a whale. While I hold his hands he moves the whole bottom half of his body up and down. It's hilarious but it works.

Not sure what to do tomorrow...pool again?!

Little man!

These photos are from yesterday...blogger was having issues last night so I couldn't upload. Anyway, the first is Cole during his bath getting ready to eat the John Deere tractor.In this picture he looks so grown up to me. Not to mention those jammies are 18 months and are NONE too big. I love his look in this picture too. Doesn't look too much like Daddy or me here. My baby is getting TOO BIG!

Yesterday was a busy day for us. We started out the morning with story time at the library. The summer reading program began so for the next 6 weeks we'll be at the library once a week. Both boys actually were on their BEST behavior. We came home ate lunch, Cole napped and then we went to the pool. The boys were a little cranky so we didn't stay long. Parker did finally manage to go into the 2 feet side of the kiddie pool. Just took a little help from Mom and then he wanted to do it by himself.

Off to run a few errands today. When Daddy comes home we are going to the pool. Parker said yesterday that he wants to bring Daddy to the pool. So cute. So after a change in Daddy's work schedule we'll have to settle for late afternoon.

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS day! Be back later to post pics for today...hopefully!

Blogger must have issues...trying to upload pics and it won't even bring up that window. Oh well I guess I'll try again tomorrow! Sorry.

Pool fun!

Went to the pool this morning. Parker was all decked out here ready to swim. The only thing that last were the goggles. Everything else except his suit came off. He's still a little leery of the water. I'm sure in a few more days we won't be able to keep up with him. Cole munching on an apple during break time. Our pool lets us bring food in...isn't that awesome. We can also bring whatever water toys we want too.
Brought my little point n shoot camera today. I didn't realize til after a few pics that the lense had Parker's finger prints all over it. Oops...so the first one was a little hazy, tried my best to fix it.

P just woke up from a 4 hour nap and Cole slept 3...life is GOOD! Off to the store for some milk.

I'm back!

Sorry we've had company he past couple of days...Grammy and Papa J. Parker had a BLAST as usual. We went to Dunbar Cave yesterday to feed the ducks and these are just a few of the many pics I snapped. LOVE this first one. I'm a sucker for anything that resembles a sunflower. LOL Then there are a couple more flowery ones that I liked.

This guy was pretty LOUD.
P with Grammy and Papa walking along the trail having fun.

Last night Bill took me to Cirque de Soleil...AWESOME! It was nice to have a night out without the boys. Just the two of us. After the show we walked downtown Nashville. We figured out that we are SO HAPPY being parents and staying home on Friday and Saturday nights. The bar scene is just NOT us. They were all crowded, LOUD, and smokey. So being the parents we are we settled for a stop at an ice cream parlor instead of a bar. Yummy.

That's what we've been up to the past couple days. We'll have more company this weekend...yay! Can't wait to see you Steph, Brian, and Maggie.

Gotta go figure out what to have for dinner. Later.
