Summer iphone dump, wheeew!

In no particular order whatsoever, here's a smidgen of our summer events...ok, maybe more than a smidgen. Is that even a word?

 

Lots of fun times at the Children's Park in Fultondale. Favorite activity, throwing rocks into the water

 

Mama didn't want Fulton diving into the rocks

 

On the go

Sweet sleeper with booty in the air

Hello. My name is Mr. Everywhere

 

And, the 2012 garden is planted!

 

No Mama, I'm not going to eat the rocks. Said no 10 month old ever.



Playing in peace while Fulton takes his morning nap

 

 I've bumped my head on every table today!

 

Happy post nap baby

 

One of Ridge's favorites- putt putt

First time bowling

And, it's growing!

Dirty dirty little toes crawling around back yard

 

Dry and potty trained boy!

 

Rub a dub dub 3 boys in a tub- with cousin Sawyer

"shaving" with dada

Happy surprise birthday dada!

 

Anniversary weekend! Happy 7 years!

My busy 13 month old

bedtime stories

mowing the sidewalk

watering our huge squash plant that took over our whole garden. not worth it since neither of my boys have liked squashed cooked any way yet...

 

working hard

Ruthie playing in Fulton's crib. Supervised play time ;)

Finally finished the last piece in Fulton's nursery. And, he was 11 months old.

Tractor riding with mama's childhood friend, Denny

Waterfall in Ryan and Crystal's neighborhood

The only way to contain Fulton at the park. Glad you like it bud

First squash harvest. Grilled these bad boys up! Yumm!

 

Ruthie and Alan bonded :)

 

I should've done a whole post on Fulton's first watermelon. He LOVES it!

 

birthday at the zoo

 

lovin on baby brother, or annoying him

my roaring lion

Fulton gave it up poor baby. He said, where's my crib?

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Fulton and Sawyer

Fulton- Yes, he's gone and the cars and trucks are all mine!!!

Ridge stayed at Nonnie's for 3 days to go to VBS

Having fun with 100% attention from Nonnie

 

Growing tomatoes! They look like bunches of grapes

I need these eyelashes.

Went to watch Skyler and Tyler play baseball

Sprinkler fun. Fulton thinks he's 3 and Ruthie is not enjoying it. 

Talking it up over a bag of chips and hummus.

pretend sleeping

 

lakin. sexy husband

First day of "school" or MDO. June 2012. 3 years old 

 

After his first day of MDO. So excited and loved it.

mohawk baby

one of his favorite places

Dada opening his father's day present

Jesus storybook Bible

 

Ridge loves "reading" this book. Sharing it upside down with Fulton

and more.. seriously, I gave so many away. I couldn't keep up

throwing rocks. hmm. gotta work on that form

our nature walk

drinking from the water outside

and more...

love this face and this shirt!

Ridge's weird day after reaction to we think mosquito bites. notice left leg (with bandaid) is swollen

huge swollen left knee. terrible experiences. and breathing difficulty at night. very scary. keep benadryl on hand at all times.

pool with Dada

And, there's 7 months difference between them. And, Reese is older. Can't tell. She was so sweet and kept calling Fulton, "baby" 

 

Fun with Skyler, Tyler, and Drew

 

boat fun, even though he looks miserable

still unsure about the tube he just rode on

 

and the nightlight happened. began to be afraid of the dark. thank you target for your glowing orange dumptruck.

hey!

aww, sweet brothers

ok, that was over fast

when we played outside at 8 pm because it was 105 degrees during the day

again, he really thinks he's 3

my one and only venture to the pool by myself even though I said I was going to do it every Sunday afternoon during naptime...sigh

no fear

 

superman

we loved our okra and watermelon! and no need to buy tomatoes for sure
