Gone Sledding

Yes, that is a sled, it's WONDERFUL! Aidan LOVES riding in it down to the water, and back again. Bug enjoyed trying to pull him too!
Again, Nealy pulling Aidan! We got lots of looks for using a sled, but people were very impressed! Thanks CK!

Filling her bucket.
Ummm...yes Aidan has legs, and Wes is slouching...
Queen of the sand hill
She's flying!
My boys...

Aidan drives his truck all the way to the water...
Bug liked to fill the back of her truck with sand.
VRROOOMMM
My sweet baby boy..

Yes, another day at the beach...the kids love playing in the sand with their Tonka trucks, and are proving to be quite the beach babies we knew they could be.

He Walks!

My little boy has really taken off. This video is from about a week ago now, he is a lot more steady on his feet these days!

The Fair

Driving the cars...she LOVES the rides
How appropriate...Bug riding a bug!
"Hey! this isn't water...it's spiked with JUICE!"
The beloved carousel
Aidan prefers the benches!

She thought the calf was so cute.
Just like Daddy, her favorite was the pig!
Aidan, however, was a little less impressed, he actually started to cry right after I snapped the picture!
They are so soft!
Going down the slide with Daddy

Today was a first for all of us. We attended Children's Day at the Ottawa County Fair. Everyone had a blast, at times I'm not sure who was having more fun! Wes was beaming with pride watching Bug with the animals, and we both had a hard time accepting the fact that she was riding rides ALL BY HERSELF! Where did my baby Bug go??? Aidan was a bit too young for most rides, he did however like the carousel.

Trouble in the Making...

Nealy has been joining Aidan in his crib...she can get in, but not out!

Pretty Girl

Nealy and Pretty Girl, who is still a bit apprehensive.
Both relaxing...
"She's purring!" Taking care of Lala's kitty...
Nealy "helping" Aidan
Aidan having his turn

Lala's cat, Pretty Girl, and the kids have had a love/hate relationship. The kids are OBSESSED with the cat, and the cat wasn't too thrilled with them. We have had a breakthrough over the last few days.

Our Sunday Best

All dressed up...I should have taken one BEFORE nap...but regardless, they are cute!

A Sleepy Eater

Nealy just couldn't quite make it through dinner. Poor baby!

We missed Nealy's window for a nap, and tried to get her though the afternoon without falling asleep. I thought we were golden until the middle of dinner! Little did I know she would wake up two hours later and be ready to go! (Seriously, the child was awake WAY to late...) She was so good, and we got lots of cuddling time!

Beaching Again...

Lala and Aidan loving the water!
Aidan and Mom reapplying some sunscreen.
Nealy, being Nealy...
Aidan relaxing
Playing in the sand

Taking a little snooze on the beach
Getting some rays..
Daddy and Nealy, and Lala and Aidan enjoying the water!
"I love my dad..."
"Wait for me!"

I know, you're probably all sick of beach pictures, but I can't help it...We all LOVE the beach!

Reading

Reading with Lala
Reading with Daddy

I think everyone in the house has the Veggie Tale books memorized.

Swinging

Our favorite porch spot...good thing we all fit!

More Beach Fun

Enjoying a snack on the beach
Building a sand castle
Playing with his tub of water
This is when we realized it was time to go home. She was actually going to nap like this!
