big boy!

Bubby found a new fun outdoor game this weekend...riding the toy truck down the driveway. Of course not riding it the way he should be but rather having someone push you while sitting in the dump part! Ahhh boys!

Bubby also got moved from his high chair to a booster at the table. He was really getting frustrated that he couldn't color or play play-doh right with his sister so I set it up for him to play at the table. Naturally he then wanted to eat at the table and actually made much less of a mess!

Usually this smile means that he is trying to get away with something. I think that maybe he thought he wasn't supposed to be at the table or something. Either way we are all happier because mom isn't washing the floor 6 times a day!

4th of July

Ok..so I had to start with the exciting update...this year we decided to plant our first ever family garden and it has turned out GREAT! Here is a photo taken last night. So far we have gotten about 3 ziploc bags full of green beans, and 3 huge zucchini with many more to come! All in all we planted watermelons, potatos, green beans, zucchini, pickle cucumbers, strawberries, green peppers, tomatos, and blueberries!


For the 4th of July we went to the Battle Creek airshow. Lilly was the most sensitive this year that she has ever been to the noise. Apparently a sub bun makes great earplugs though!

They also learned that the extra step on the tricycle makes for a great seat for brother...I'm really enjoying them starting to "play" together.




Bubs thought that the drink cooler spout was a faucet for washing your hands so he spent a good 20 minutes "washing" his hands by putting them under the spout and then rubbing them together.



Looking at airplanes with dad wearing the Blue Angels shirt that daddy did as a kid...notice the food in his hand...Bubs' favorite part of the airshow..you can munch on food all day and not get in trouble!
