A little more catch up

Here are a few pictures from our life lately...

Now that we have a big back yard we had the ability to get a kiddie pool and fun sprinkler system. Jet l-o-v-e-s the water!! He'll stay out there for hours with a few buckets and the hose. Makes his mama happy that he likes the water so much :)

Jet is also quite a fan of the sand box. He especially likes it when he has toys to dump sand into and then dump out again. This is at a local park.

Do I have to smile mom?

Sweet baby T out of the bath :)

A positive bit of news to report is that Jet loves his baby brother now!! If you didn't know, Jet was not too impressed with Trip's arrival. He really didn't like him in the beginning and would just get angry when we would bring Trip over to him. Through the last month or so he's warmed up to him. Whenever he wants to hold Trip or help him I try to encourage Jet by calling him a "great big brother" and a "great help." This inspires him to help more so he finds things to do to get more praise. His latest is giving Trip his pacifier when he cries... melts my heart. He's still a little rough (i.e. he tries to shove the pacifier in with one big push) but he's getting better with practice :)

One of our favorite summer time spots is Sunny Skies home made ice cream parlor. It's about a 25 minute ride so we don't go as often as we'd like but we got there last week. Needless to say Jet's a fan of ice cream. Trip was cranky and the bugs were bad so we weren't there very long but we ate every last drip of that yummy goodness.

And here are the boys during lunch... love these everyday activities

More catch up later!
