Dad's home for a month!

 Enjoying the park in the Ergo

Has his hands and mouth full often (yes, that is the top of the humidifier... a very special horn). Also, note the For Sale sign in the yard. One more month at 1009 Slate Ridge Rd. Very bittersweet.

 The only time she actually wants to sit up

 Books, blankie and cars. Life is good.

Rolling from toy to toy

Entertaining Rosie at Breakfast

Summertime!

 He started the season a little more cautious than last year but he's back out there!

Come back, water!

Don't wear your 3D glasses for this one

Rosie girl

Five boys and one girl

 Fun in the sun with buddies Ian, Branson, Collin, and Caleb

 Adleigh was taking her nap through most of this. Must be tired for getting two new teeth! The top lateral incisors are in and the middle ones look like they are coming soon. Must be why she has gotten up 4 times the last couple of nights. 

Thanks Grandma and Papa Ross for the water table. It was a hit!

Overdue photos of Buddy's 2nd birthday party

 We didn't get many photos so thanks to our friend Ginny who snapped a few

 Sports theme party for our little sports addict

 The other kids loved helping him open his presents

Grandma Ross' bball court chip dip!

Jason had trouble moving on to the next gift b/c he liked the one he just opened!

 Thankfully it was perfect weather even though the weatherman called for rain

Happy birthday Buddy! You are wonderful!

Shots and sweat for the swindled

Good bye, pool. I never knew ye. 

Needless to say, they went with the other offer...in a very shady manner, but it wasn't meant to be!

Andy took the day off today and we had a great family day at the park, even though it was blazing outside.

Jason had his 24 month appointment today. He did great with his two shots. Here are his stats: Weights: 31lbs 6oz (84th percentile), Height 2'11'' (72th percentile), Head cir: 20" (93rd percentile), BMI: 18 (83rd percentile)

Monday has come and gone... no news on that house

They play nicely together :)

Selling your house means more dinners out

This is how the cool kids say the ABCs

 We have to keep something in her hands otherwise she will clear off the table :)

Silly boy

Baba and Buddy

Out to eat. Chips and salsa. Watching tv. This may be better than the iPad.

Start to Summer

 Bathtime

 See the resemblance?

The toy was going off non-stop, so I turned it off. Buddy gets up immediately to fix it for Addie. If you listen closely, you can hear Jason say, "Batteries? Yeah, batteries. I did it." He gets upset when he sees I'm filming him, but is ok with it once he walks around and sees Addie on the screen. He calls her Rose or Rosie exclusively.

Buddy watching the video above. Apparently, he thinks it's hilarious.

The many uses of fuzz

While watching Elmo

On to the next sports obsession

Happy Gilmore

"What is he doing this time?"

"Watch and learn."

"Eh...not that impressed."

The good life.

The things that entertain kids amazes me. He did this for about 10 minutes and thought it was hilarious.

Openings Gifts from Grandma and Pop Pop Bates

Jason Turns 2!

We are terrible at this whole taking pictures of important events thing. Jason had his 2nd birthday party (sports theme...shocking, I know) and Grandma Ross even flew down for it. Did we take one picture during the party or of Grandma with the kids?...of course not. We're hoping to get some pictures from a friend that took a few. Shout out to Grandma Ross who did all kinds of work for us during her visit!

Hunger strike

Praying this is the first of thousands of times he picks up his Bible and starts to read it.

He's not afraid to get comfortable.

Always watching what's going on and reaching for anything in sight.

I think Jason enjoyed this hug more than Addie did.

Loving his new book from Grandma and Pop Pop Bates.

Upgraded to the high chair at the restaurant.
