Summer 2013

We have had a great summer this year!  It has been busy, but fun!  

We started this summer by going to Michigan with Kevin's parents.  

We came back from vacation and celebrated Braden's second birthday - there is a separate on that.  One of his favorite gifts was his water table which the boys have had a blast playing with.

We spent lots of time outside and playing in the pool.  Braden liked sliding into the pool - good fun!

What else?  Oh yeah... we moved.  Again.  It's kind of our thing.  However, I think that pending any major life altering happenings, we are here for the long haul.  We kept our other home and have rented it out to a very nice family.  Our new neighborhood had woods that run through it and there is an awesome paved trail throughout.  We walk every evening (weather permitting), so I'm sure that nobody is going to be happy once it's too cold to do that.

We have checked out some parks near our new home and the boys have found one that they really like.  It has a dinosaur thing that they can ride together.

We had a "land of toys" after we moved in because we had nowhere to put them.  The boys, and cousin Jackson, loved playing in there.  I am happy to say that we now have storage and this is no longer the scene in our home.

In September we all got together to celebrate my Grandpa Bob's 90th birthday!  Here is a photo of him with all of his great-grandchildren.

Braden LOVES his cousin Jackson.  It is really cute to watch them play together.

Our new favorite activity on our walks is to look for buckeyes.  Braden gets really excited to find them and he has them all stockpiled in his nightstand.

Finally, we are starting to dive into the world of potty training.  It's not going well - I don't think he's quite ready yet.  However, Logan is super interested and will not let Braden go to the bathroom alone.
