BBQ

The other night was perfect for an outdoor bbq. Turkey Burgers with Pepper Jack Cheese and Avocado with a side of sweet potato fries! Mmm!!


Trying to get off the tramp

Backing up, almost there

Oh wait, the safety net is locked so that's as far as you go bud ha ha Rob and I had a few good laughs watching Boston try to squeeze himself out of that hole.


We love watching Boston do his tricks


Boston loves anything that involves water. Bath time, water balloons, swimming, sprinklers, etc. His favorite game? Squirting Mommy and Daddy with the hose!!

He's trying to get me here.. Check out the look of death in his eye!

Shouldn't have taunted him

Mommy and Boston playing ring around the rosies

Squish noses!

Can life get any better than when you have 3 ice cream cones in your hands?

I think not! When we go get ice cream this is how it usually ends.. Boston stealing all the cones! He's not really into the ice cream part but LOVES the cone! The second he hears the crunch as Rob and I take the first bite of our cones it's game over. Don't worry, we don't let him eat it all :)

So many words!

I am just BLOWN away lately by how much Boston is talking! He keeps picking up new words left and right! I'll say something once and sure enough, he starts using it. I just love this stage we're in :)

Anyways, last night B said his second sentence. I was feeding him a banana (which he calls nana). I didn't want him to get all dirty since he had just taken a bath so I was ripping off chunks and feeding them to him. He told me he was all done and I still had a chunk left so Rob opened his mouth and I popped it in. Apparently this was hilarious cuz Boston started cracking up and said.. "ha ha ha Daddy eat Nana!!!" It was so cute the tone that he used. It was a mix of surprise and dad's so silly like it's not normal for him to eat a banana. It was just plain cute! I can't wait til he starts using more sentences!

Here's a funny bit.. You know the sound the whipped cream can makes when you squirt it? Well, the past few days Boston has been making that sound. We just thought that he was making a silly sound. Which now knowing what he was trying to tell us.. he's spot on with the sound!
In the past Rob has squirted the cream into Boston's mouth (which he loves!) so I guess he was wanting some whipped cream! Tonight at dinner he was making the sound again and getting so frustrated with us for not responding. I happened to pull the whipped cream out of the fridge to grab something behind it and Boston started screaming desperately, "PEASE PEASE PEASE!!!!" I have never seen that little boy as happy as he was when he finally, after patiently waiting for a couple of days for mom and dad to catch up, got his whipped cream!!

gangsta

He's really waving his arms around pretending that he can't see with my sunglasses on but he looks like a little thug it cracked me up!

A day with Marlee

Yesterday started with an 8 am phone call from my friend, Shannon, asking if we could watch her little girl so she could take her hubby to the ER. They thought he had appendicitis.. turns out they were right! He had surgery yesterday afternoon and is doing well :)

So we got to play with Marlee all day until Shannon's parents got here around 5:30 to take Marlee. We had a BLAST! Marlee and Boston are the best of buds! They haven't seen each other forever because one of us has either been sick or out of town for the past few months so they were so happy to be together again

Cute bald boy!

Mid-morning I busted out the Gymboree bubbles. I LOVE Gymboree bubbles!!!! They're so much fun! It was too hot to go outside so we did them inside and I'm still finding bubbles all over ha ha

I must say I am awesome at bubbles! Look at how many I got goin!!

M got a bunch stuck in her hair.. too cute!

Boston wanted some stuck to his head too so kept sticking his head into the bubbles.. sorry kid, you don't have any hair for them to stick to

Best Buds!

Nap time was heavenly! Let me tell ya, two kids by myself is a lot busier than I thought! Just diaper changes alone kept me going.. Boston will be potty trained before baby #2 gets here that's for sure :) {and no, I'm not pregnant}

After naps we watched a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Look at these two precious babies! Shannon and I always joke around about Marlee's hair and that it's taken a long time to fill in. Well, it looks ultra luscious next to Boston's current look! :)

Once the sun went down a bit and our backyard was shaded we headed out back to swim.

I love M's face in this one!


These two were ADORABLE on the tramp!

Comparing bellies.. Marlee wins! hee hee

Boston was such a gentleman pushing Marlee on the swing :)

I can't seem to download a video of the kiddies on the tramp... It's pretty cute! Hopefully I can get it to work later. Anyways, it was a fun day! We're glad Darin's ok and happy we could help with Marlee :)
