Beatin' the Heat

Well, the dog days of summer are officially here! It has been so hot around here lately and we've been doing our best to keep cool and have fun.
Our buddy Colton turned 3 and he had a "John Deere" party at the Children's Museum. So, we bought Nic a John Deere tee and headed off to party!


The dynamic duo, Nic & Fletcher!


Fletcher wants you to have this...


Ta-Da!


Don't even think about taking the balloons!


Not only did Ryleigh think about it...she did! :)


After Colton's big 3 we came home for a little sprinkler action! We had a ball! I have no pictures of the b-day boy because my camera died before the cake and presents so if you're interested Ashley (his mommy) has some cute ones posted on here blog, "The Misadventures of Motherhood".

We also had a fun day at the pool! Nic didn't get in but he sat on the steps and splashed around for a while. The water was still pretty cold.





This is what happens when fair haired little boys refuse to keep a hat on their head. This look was accomplished by using a lot of sunscreen! Its all the rage in Paris this summer.


Nic was cracking up at the 2 dogs that were at the pool. He's an animal lover, just like his mommy :)


This is Sophia. she is a girl who knows how to accessorize!


Takin a ride in the cozy coupe thanks to Sophia's giant muscles!




Before we left we got a picture of Nic and Kam in their matching outfits! They'll hate this one day...


We went to The Well's House for a Memorial day picnic! The whole gang was there and we had a blast! Nic discovered a new toy and he played in it the entire time we were there! He also re-discovered his love for watermelon. I'd say the guy easily had a quarter of a watermelon that day!










The very next day we went to Toys R Us and bought Nic a play house of his own! He loves to play in it, it was a good purchase!





Another great find was this blue My Little Pony, haha. Nic loved Sophia's my little pony when he saw it months ago, but it was pink...a bit too girly...so while we were walking through TJ Maxx we saw a blue one! We snatched it up and brought it home! When we got home, I showed Nic how to brush its hair and walked into the kitchen to fill up his sippy. When i walked back in he was brushing its hair, haha! I ran to the camera, but he had dropped it before I could get a good shot. This was the best I could do.....



Maybe it was laughing outburst that made him throw it down and act like he wasn't brushing it...I guess I'll never know! It was really funny :)

These last 2 are just a couple of cute pictures. He is turning into a little boy before my eyes!
