Fathers Day and 4th of July

We had a great Fathers Day. We started off the day swimming in our neighbors pool and then we went to the local parade. Colin just loves the water, he is catching on quickly maybe we can avoid swim lessons all together :)

We had a front row seat. This is Colin's swimming buddy Isabella

This was probably one of the best days of Colin's life. Big balloons to watch, plenty of music and people threw candy right at his feet....and mommy let him eat what ever he wanted. He didn't stop talking about it for a week.

Emily participated in her own quiet way

Splash party. Mommy tricks Colin into taking bath on the fussy nights by telling him we're going to take a "rinse" in the old bathtub. He thinks this is fantastic and doesn't want to get out of the tub.

Love those "rinse nights and new haircut

We were invited to a 4th of July celebration at our neighbors friends home. We all loved it, huge pool, BBQ, live band, and fireworks.

Colin is getting pretty fearless now, he will even jump into the pool if you are there to catch him

Dinner picnic

Life upside down

Do you like my mohawk? Life has been crazy the past few weeks and Emily has the hair to show it-It's a little nutty, but so is her family so she should fit in just fine :)

So strong! 4 weeks old

Emily loves to smile and stick out her tongue when she recognizes you :)

Big brother Colin is just smitten with "Emiwee" as he calls her. He even likes to take naps in her crib

He loves to share ALL of her toys. We are learning the words "share" and "take a turn" quickly

First time Colin held Emily. Now he "helps" change her diaper, bath her and tell mommy and daddy when her pacifier falls out....otherwise he starts crying when she starts crying!
It's just great.

What have we been up to?

Grandma Renee "Nanni" came for a long visit and we planted flowers

I went to the petting zoo with and rode the carousel

New beginnings

With a baby sister arriving in the next 5 weeks, it's time I learn to share mommy says...and that starts with my blog. All the family and new baby photo's are going to post right here.

Mommy and me enjoying a little quiet time before our lives change forever :)

I'm getting so big! I love to say "Good Boy" every time I do something by myself. Mommy and daddy are so proud of my budding independence. I know all the letters in the alphabet and can sing most of the song. I know all my colors and shapes and can count up to twenty. Mommy and daddy were worried about me not talking a few months ago, now I won't stop talking at all...I have my dad's gift of gab!

Easter morning

It was cold Easter morning, so the Easter bunny hid my eggs inside

Playing with all my loot

I spent the rest of the morning building towers with dad and going to the park :O

Goofy guys

One of my favorite things to do now is put on mommy's shoes and try to walk around the house

I'm getting so big now it just amazes moma and dada everyday. Here I am tying helping dada tie my blanket around his head like a turban

New big boy bed!!

It's finally time to graduate to a toddler bed and start sleeping like a big boy. I'm not sure if mom and dad are ready, hence the new bed that basically looks like a modified crib :)

I was so excited about my new bed, I was jumping all over it and running around the room like a crazy little guy

"Night Night" everybody, time to read with Dada and try out my new happy place:) I love to sleep!
