Feels like Summer

The first unofficial weekend of summer did not disappoint.  We had wonderful warm weather and celebrated with a family picnic (here's the pie recipe that I made) and outside fun. Happy Memorial Day, and thanks to all those who serve/served our country!

Also, this week Brennan had his first trip to the dentist and what a trip it was!  He received the real celebrity treatment.  He had a tv to watch while having his teeth cleaned, Thomas sunglasses to wear, got to pick out a toy from the treasure chest, got his picture taken (and printed to take home), got entered into a contest for 2 free movie tickets, got the standard free toothbrush, etc. and I got a flower!  All of this took place in the special Nemo room!  Brennan did awesome and left them do what they needed to without a peep.  Speaking of Brennan, as you know he's always had quite the vocabulary but now it makes me laugh because he's constantly saying things like "No way, never ever", "Well that's a bummer," "Aww, isn't that cute," "This is so boring(even your so boring :(  )", "This is the greatest ever", in addition to making up silly sayings, etc.

Jace is a monkey and can climb anywhere.  He runs after Brennan trying to keep up.  He LOVES to swing and go down the slide and says weee the whole time.  He still cries just about every time when we bring him in from outside. He definitely knows what he wants and where he wants to be!  Jace is quite the dipper...he will eat any dip, his favorite being ketchup, I've seen corn, cantalope, watermelon, and just about anything else that he's eating dipped into ketchup.  He'll even eat salsa...apparently hot things don't bother him because he likes bbq chips too!

Saturday we went to the Totem Pole to watch a magician and then to the Caledonia Park

Jace even likes the big kids swings

All American Family

More fun swinging

See what I mean he really loves it!

He's the friendliest guy in the neighborhood.  This is his double waive to one of the neighbors driving by!

Brennan invites you to his picnic!

Love this boys!

Popping bubbles.  He also LOVES bubbles (which he can even say)

So in reality Jace loves a lot of things...add to the list watermelon and cupcakes (2 more words that he does his best to say!).  

Look at those baby blues...

From my flower beds...I hope I didn't pick these irises for no reason and that they will open

Look at this cutie

Fishing with Daddy

I thought that I should post this one because Brennan's mouth is actually closed...it's never this way, he's always either smiling, laughing or talking:)

My beauties in bloom...I don't think flowers come any prettier than iris!

Fishing Fun!

The boys had a fun weekend with lots of time outside.  Yesterday they enjoyed fishing at the fishing rodeo.  Brennan had fun reeling the fish in and Jace LOVED holding the fish, he just didn't like having the fish taken away from him.  If nothing else they were certainly the cutest little fisherman at the event (in my humble opinion).  Jace has been expanding his vocabulary, currently he responds No (said Nah) to everything, he also likes saying Whoa and Boom.  He loves any and all animals and enjoys pointing out puppies and telling you what the horse says:)

Making and chasing  bubbles

Our nursery at the lot.  I'm not sure if our ghetto fence will keep much out.

Hard at work

Measuring with the wheel

Too cute!

After the tree went "boom"

Ready for a day of fishing!

At the trout rodeo

So excited about the fish!

Stringer full of fish!  Way to go Brennan!

How cute is this?!!!  Daddy's so proud!
