{July}

As I write this the news is reporting we have made it to day 29 of 100+ degree days and there is no end in sight. With that said July has been all about keeping cool. We have been finding things to do inside and if we are outside we are in the water. I have not taken many pictures this month so this post is a brief recap of what has been going on around here.

The boys love the Splash park so we took Daddy and some friends one day. Dillon loves plugging the spouts where the water comes out. One day we were there with Aunt Rara and Cooper was so excited because he thought he turned the park on for the day becuase he pushed the button just at 10 o'clock.
We have the most awesome next door neighbor who lets us swim whenever we want. Cooper and Dillon are very comfortable in the water, C is even jumping off the side into the water.

We went to the neighborhood 4th of July Parade for the 1st time (yes, I have lived here almost 10 years). We saw a firetruck, a police car, horses, and antique cars.

Dillon loves his snack cup and sharing with Cain. Mommie loves his adorable smile but does not enjoy his scream (YES HE SCREAMS!)

D loves to play in his play room

My happy baby, C! He helps show brother how to have fun with the toys.

August is a BIG month around here and we are getting excited!!!!

{Daddy Day!}

We call every Sunday "Daddy Day" because we always have Daddy home on Sunday, so "Father's Day" was a special 'Daddy Day.'

After swimming we played outside for a while, Cooper and Daddy graffitied the sidewalk and Cooper.

We enjoyed spending time with him.

We LOVE HIM LOTS!

{SpLaSh PARK!}

We spent the morning at the splash park today and had so much fun! Dillon got into it more than I thought splashing, kicking, scooting, even plugging the spouts to make them spray! Cooper was all over the place even running over to the jungle gym every once in a while to get quick slide in. Even though it's 100 degrees we are finding fun things to do.

{crawling}

Baby Dillon is Crawling!
In less than 24 hours he went from his first crawl to crawling across the room

He is so excited about his achievement as you can tell from his big smile!

His next challange is to navigate the step down into the playroom. He gets there and screams because most of the toys are out of reach until you help him intot he playroom.
