Pool Party

The boys have been hittin the pool lots over the past few days!  I broke down yesterday and went to get the 5' pool at Freddy's because the tiny one we had (below) was not going to cut it for both boys.  Noah wants to be laying in the water constantly and in the small pool he took up the whole thing...  Silas is still not too sure about it, he climbs in but is still a little timid.  It is only a matter of time before he turns into a wild man like his big brother then we better watch out!
This is Silas blowing bubbles on the ground because Noah was blowing them in the pool...

Playing at the water table!  Silas's favorite thing right now!




Stompin in the water!  Definitely needed a bigger pool...

Popsicles

The boys had their first popsicles today!!  Big day, I can't believe that neither of them have ever had one before.  Noah and I made them yesterday and totally forgot about them until this morning.  Noah ate his so carefully, making sure not to get it all over himself and the furniture.  Silas on the other hand attacked his from every angle and had to be hosed off when he was done (along with all the furniture and the patio)!!  Noah also had his first ice cream cone at Connor's house the other night!  As I am typing this I am feeling like the poor kid has gotten the shaft with frozen treats...  Oh well, he is a little picky about sticky stuff and who knows if he would have eaten them before now anyway.  Amazing how peer pressure already works!

4th of July

Here are a few pictures from our weekend down at the lake for the 4th!  The boys had an absolute blast playing outside all day every day.  We could not have asked for better weather, not too hot and lots of sun!!!  Silas had his first boat ride, while Noah the boating veteran drove with Papa.  Noah got to do his first fireworks (poppers) and also got his first squirt gun (thanks Papa :)  The squirt guns were a huge hit and Noah has not really put his down over the past few days!
Working on the tractor sprinkler!  The kid never takes a day off!!

Helping Papa feed the fish!  Papa got the boys each a new Koi, Noah can't decide if he wants to name his Manny, Barry or McQueen...

Noah & Nonnie ready to hit the lake!

Silas looks a little nervous!  It might be Noah's driving...

Driving the boat!!!

Silas is still not too sure...

We don't put our squirt guns down, even when we are eating.


Popper time!

I love this picture!

Noah trying to spray out the fire with his squirt gun...

Touchdown!!!!

Not the best toy in the world.

Ready for a bike ride!

Bee Boy

My mom got this hat for Noah about a year ago during the height of the Bee Movie obsession and he finally decided he wanted to wear it this weekend!  I am thinking the only reason is because Silas determined that he really wanted to wear the bee hat...  Unfortunately the hat was always pulled off of Silas's head before I could get a picture of him in it.  Maybe next time!

Park Time

We usually go for a walk every night after dinner and lately our destination has been the neighborhood lake.  It makes the perfect backdrop for fun pictures and Noah LOVES to run around there.  My mom and Mason have been staying with us for the past few days and Noah was so excited to take them to check out that lake last night.  I was excited to attempt a family photo...
The best one we got...

We don't get too many pictures of just us these days!

Looks like he is deep in thought!

Teasing the geese with Uncle Mason (we forgot to bring food for them)


Checking out the geese

I just love his pose in this one!

Running & running & running & running...

Me and my momma!

Cool Dude

Ready to head home with Uncle Mason!

Brushin the Teeth

 Toothbrush time is a pretty big deal around here every night!  Noah has always loved to brush his teeth and is getting really good at it.  Silas is just as obsessed, I think because he watches Noah and wants to do whatever big brother is doing!
Wrong end Silas...

Let me show you how!!!

Even more cousin time!!!

Atreus and came over to play and have lunch yesterday so the boys got even more cousin time in!  They are on a roll lately.  So much fun!!!  Getting three little boys to hold still for a picture is next to impossible but I got a few that are OK.  Most of them have one kid moving, they sat on the stairs and bounced together for the longest time it was hilarious!  Atreus brought his Cozy Coupe over too but they seemed more into the stairs for some reason, we could have had a Cozy Coupe Rally around here :)



I love the look on Silas's face!
