Is it or isn't it a telephone......?

Family time

We can't seem to keep Colin out of the water this summer, he has really taken to swimming. Thepic below will give you an idea of how excited he is to go to the pool :)

Found Nemo

Emily 10 weeks

With these hot hot days of summer, we have to be creative during the day. Here we are having a "beach picnic" in the living room. Colin is making Emily a waffle for lunch..mmmm

Making cookies with Joe, Colin was a great helper....as in helping himself to the bag of chocolate chips!

"Mommy caught me sneaking chocolate chips again!"

Love this pic. Emily looks a tiny bit like the monkey on her outfit....Maybe it's the matching hair clips.

Fun day at the park

Mommy and Colin playing "Barn" at the park. We were pretending to be farm animals in the barn eating sticks. Mmmmm..... Colin loved it.

Emily our little Dr. Seuss character :)

"....Look at this guys, it is the most interesting toy in the whole world!!!" Come check it out.

Emily 2 months old

This is one of our favorite outfits. She looks so cute in it!

Emily is so smiley and animated now. She just makes us smile and laugh when she gets giggly and sticks out her tongue and coo's in an attempt to talk with you.

So happy!

Summer fun

Swimming at Lake Minear

Play date with Heidi and her adorable kids

Love that water! Why are Colin's pant's falling off? I have no idea.

So cute...throwing"rocks in the water" of course

Roland's company picnic

Colin had to take ALL the trucks on the playground and coral them together. He likes to keep a watchful eye on his new found treasures.

Bounce house with Daddy, Colin had so much fun :)

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.
