Summer is here!!!

This weekend was work for Mom and Dad, but fun for the boys. We were putting flower beds in the backyard, FINALLY, and so that meant a lot of outside play time for the boys. We filled up their little swimming pool and let them have at it whlle we planted the flower beds. They played in their sand box quite a bit as well. They also enjoyed playing DJ for Mom and Dad with the radio we had outside. Austen and Jaksen would get tired of the other play things and go and sit at the radio and dance and sing into the antenna. Needless to say we no longer have an antenna on our radio, because they had a little too much fun!






Austen is now quite the little talker. He has really improved so much over the last month. It is amazing how they change so fast. He is getting really good with carrying on a conversation with you even on the telephone. He has also shown interest in baseball which makes Dada really happy. Our little lefty has been hitting the ball really well off the tee. He is very proud of himself when the ball goes a long way. Now we just have to work on catching and throwing the ball.


Jaksen is quite the dare devil. He thinks that he can pull up on whatever he wants. This has led to a lot of crashes and bumps on the head. His current teeth total is up to 5 and counting! He is such a Mama's boy too. He always wants me to carry him around and when I leave a room we are in, he chases after me. We are trying to decide if we want to get his hair cut. It is getting really long in the front and getting in his eyes, but we are afraid of getting rid of the curls. What do you think we should do??



I must brag on Adam and I for a minute. We actually grew a successful garden. Our first one ever. We should be harvesting some vegetables soon. We are very excited. We planted squash, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, jalepenos, and green beans. Here are some pictures of the prize garden!! Grandy, we might give you a run for your money one day! I guess this year we will have to mail you the tomatoes!
