Slip N Slide Races

Riley's family loves playing games! When we were home over the 4th of July we invented a few new ones. They were: 'Slip N Slide Baseball' and 'Slip N Slide Races.' It was a ton of fun!

Brady is Crawling!

Brady has just started crawling! My whole world is about to change! He has only rolled 5 or 6 times in his life, but he is crawling. He is definately his own man.

Random Shots from the Past Week

Easton, Dillon, and Owen
These are some of Easton's playgroup friends. They were all sitting together waiting for a tour of the Fire Department to begin.

Easton's first drawing of a person! Easton was drawing outside today and told me to look at his picture. I asked him what it was and he said, "A happy face with legs." I was so excited about this drawing. It is always amazing how fast he is growing and developing!


Potty Training
Easton has slowly been working on potty training for awhile now and he is starting to do really well. He only wears diapers at night, rarely pees in his pants, and the last three times that he went #2 this week, he told me that he needed to go and use his potty!




Brady is going to be a very busy kid and into everything. I looked away for just a second to put Easton into the tub this evening and this is what happened. He grabbed onto a bath toy that hangs on the wall and pulled himself up onto his knees! I have also found him doing the same thing with our couch. Now that he is starting to crawl I am sure he is going to be pulling up and getting into everything.




...and even more Fire Trucks!











We went to Indiana for the 4th of July. While we were there my dad got the West Point Fire Chief to show Easton and his cousin Emmie the fire trucks!
