Putt Pett, Pett Pett, Putt Putt

This is Ethan saying Putt Putt!!

Yummm...slushy time!

Yes, this is the snowcone you get at the park, one size...one price! What happened to the snowCONE!?? It's the perfect size for Ethan and I to share, if Ethan would share!

Ethan won!

Beautiful day for a bike ride!

Today was a gorgeous day!! We decided to take a ride to the park!! Ethan had a wonderful time, tho he has forgotten that his bike does have brakes! He had his first "successful" bike wreck! He was going to fast down a slight hill that ended with a curb......let's just say Ethan realized it too late, swerving started, cries for Mommy were heard, and then the superman dive off the bike!!! After I knew he was all good, I couldn't help but laugh a little! If only he had had a helmet cam!! This did not scare him at all tho, so I was proud he got back up and hopped back on like a champ!!



Asleep at the wheel!

This is a rare sight anymore, but something Ethan has done since he was about 1!! He loves to lay on the floor and play cars, and majority of the time this is what happens!!
Soooooo precious!

Rottenly sweet!

Such a serious face!

Hold me, please!!!!!
Crawling is so much fun....the places/things to get into and under!!

Mini backyard garden!

My little garden is in full bloom! The GIANT marigolds have finally started to bloom! They are the biggest marigolds I have ever seen!!

Notice the "normal" sized marigolds in front of the Marigold Tower!



If you remember earlier in the summer, I planted sunflowers, that were doing really well, and were just about in bloom....when our new DOG decided to destroy them all one afternoon!!

Looks innocent enough!


What happens when you leave overnight!

This is what happens when you leave for an overnight camping trip, and leave a dog alone that has separation anxiety problems.
OOPS!
(Started on the blinds on the backdoor, but didn't get them destroyed!)

Wanna go for ride!!

The moments may be far and few between, but Ethan actually enjoyed Aiden for an afternoon!
The two boys had a blast "cruising" down the sidewalk...all that was missing were the sunglasses!!

'80s flashback!


Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins galore!

The Peachtree City gang came to Indiana for a week! It was a wonderful time! We thoroughly exhausted Ethan and Evan! Grant is the sweetest little guy who just absorbed all the fun in! We will definitely miss them all a bunch!!

Mr. Evan

Evan and Papa!

Ethan and Evan making pictures!

Mischief anywhere they could squeeze in (or under)!!
Evan playing hopscotch!

A very Happy "FIFTH" of July!

Since our Fourth of July was rainy, we saved the fireworks for Sunday! It was a wonderful time, and the boys loved it!

Just in case it's loud!

Sparkler fun!


Ethan chasing Evan (who is behind the tree)
Yummy...ice cream and pie!!

Breakfast at Cousin Ethan's!

Evan and Grant spent the night at our house for the first time! A busy house is a house that wakes up to THREE boys in the morning! It was soo much fun!
Pancakes, fruit, cars, and giggles!!
Evan's smile!
Now Ethan's smile!
Beautiful Grant-Zilla!

(who eats wheels off trucks!)

Fishing Fun!

Nothing is better than fishing, boys, and Dads wanting to teach busy boys to fish! The day was a great catch for both, catching two small fish! And to end the afternoon, was a nice walk home in the rain!

Cousin Evan!
Ethan's catch of the day!

Ethan touching his first fish ever caught, and running scared to death!

Daddy and his lil helper!

Ever-living backyard plants!

Below are a couple pictures of Ethan's Easter present from Grandma T this year! We were not sure how well these things would grow at first, but obviously, VERY well!!


This is the first-grown cucumber, grown in a flower pot! This plant has been considered "dead" twice so far....but today I was very pleased to see a nice-looking cucumber growing (plus more)!!
These are GIANT marigolds from the same garden kit. They have blooms that have yet to open! The greenery part is STILL growing!
