First Father and Son Trip

Greg decided tonight that he and David would camp in the back yard.
David was excited. He helped set up the tent as soon as he awoke from his afternoon nap!

David crawled in to check out the inside of Daddy's tent

approved

David laid down and said, "Night Night!"

After dinner it was time to set up Daddy and David's bed

Hiding from Mommy in the tent

Time for bed

David lasted about five minutes in the tent.  Mommy was secretly happy.  It was going to be lonely with Daddy, David, and Bella outside! 

Pool Buddies

We were lucky this afternoon, Carter came to visit. We decided to try out the pool. The boys played well together. It has been a while since we have seen Carter, but the boys did not miss a beat!

happy to see each other

Pool Time

David made his first trip to the pool for the summer. We live three houses down from our neighborhood pool. The park and our mailbox are there also. David has been visiting and getting his feet wet in the evenings when we check the mail and play on the playground.  Today however we decided to give him his first official visit for the summer.  It was a success!

David found his snack in the pool bag before we even left the house; the crazy hair is from his nap:)  

the water is cold

 

practicing his kicking, we have also practiced in the bath tub

  

Earth Day Happy Birthday

Today we celebrated Earth Day by visiting Berry Springs Park.  Today also happens to be David's 23 month birthday.  We can't believe he is going to be 2 in 4 weeks.  Happy Birthday David, we love you!

 

 

 

Dinner With Friends

Friday evening we had our first official gathering.  Greg's former co-workers joined us for dinner.  We enjoyed seeing everyone again, it had been about a year.

we may need to invest in some outdoor seating



 

Kiss It

Angie took David to Sears Thursday to look at lawn equipment.  After looking at an entire aisle of shovels David turned around quickly to run on to the power washers when he ran into a trailer.  David has his first black eye. 
All day Thursday he repeated under his breath, " Broken eye, kiss it.  I am sorry buddy."
Any time David scrapes a knee, finger, elbow etc, he calls it broken.  When he saw his eye, he called it broken.  He repeated I am sorry buddy because that it what Mommy said while he was crying.  Poor David!

 

 

He is still a happy little guy!

Easter Bunny

David received a chocolate Easter bunny from Mimi and Ed and another from Gram and Grandad. He has been waiting to try one and finally Mommy gave in!
Very excited and happy...

Ummm, I wonder how to eat this thing...

I guess just try as best as you can to get a big bite...

so good!

Surprise Guest

This morning we had a garage sale. As we have been unpacking boxes we have been piling items that we no longer have a place for in the garage. This morning a neighbor came over to buy a piece of furniture and as Greg was moving it out for her to see the following surprise showed up.


Yes, this was hiding in our garage and then slithered all the way across our garage and coiled itself into the corner until Greg could move it out. David was excited; he kept saying, "See Snake!"
Bella wanted to know what all of the commotion was about... she was stuck in the backyard!
