Jump, Jump, JUMPEROO!

Mason is obsessed with his new bouncer (on loan from his cousins), all he wants to do is JUMP!! He will sit and bounce in this thing for an hour at a time - stopping only to eat and maybe have his diaper changed! Check out this video and you will see what I mean!!

It's a Pool Day!

We spent most of our Sunday afternoon in the pool! Freddie, Melissa and the boys joined us for some pool time and lunch! And then when Mason went down for a nap Colton, Daddy and I spent another two hours just lounging around in the water! I now look like a lobster but it was totally worth it! We are getting great use of our pool this summer - good investment so far!!

Como Fun Day!

Last Wednesday night Colton had his buddy Landon sleep over and they camped out in a tent in the family room!! And then on Thursday I took the boys to Como for the day! Colton loves having someone his age to do things with (Mason is just too boring as he can't do anything yet)! We started off our day at Como by having lunch with Daddy (Frankie was working at Como that day)! Then we went to see the animals and enjoyed some rides! We ended our afternoon at the Splash Pad - the older boys ran and played in the water while Mason took a nap in the shade! It was such a fun day - hot summer days can't get much better than this one was.

Birthday Party Weekend

Last Weekend was filled with Birthday Celebrations. We spent Saturday celebrating my Godson Jaxx's 3rd Birthday. It was a hot and humid day but thankfully Freddie and Melissa were thinking ahead and rented an inflatable water slide! The kids played on that thing for hours... stopping only to open presents and eat cake! It was a great time, although I still can't believe my beautiful Godson is already 3 - he is growing up way too fast! Happy 3rd Birthday Jaxx!

Sunday was another birthday party and thankfully it was another pool party because the temperature rose to the mid 90's! Landon is my sister's boyfriend's youngest son (did you follow me there?). He is only 2 weeks younger than Colton and they have quickly become great buddies! I am pretty sure Colton's favorite part of the party was the giant in ground swimming pool with a diving board!! It only took convincing him once to jump off the diving board and after that we couldn't' get him to stop! Happy 5th Birthday Landon, we had a great time at your party.

Maple Grove Days Parade

The boys and I walked in the Maple Grove Days Parade a couple weeks back! It was the perfect night for a parade, overcast, slight breeze and not 90+ degrees like most of the days this month have been. We walked with The Hartford and we had a great time. Mason slept most of the parade (I had him in the Baby Bjorn Carrier) while Colton handed out candy and Jr Fire Marshall hats to all the kids along the parade route. The boys also loved meeting Larry the Stag, the mascot for the Hartford. Mason just starred at him, although you can't blame him becuase Larry stands about 7 feet tall! The parade was quite possibly the longest parade ever, taking almost 2 hours from start to finish but none the less we had fun and can't wait to do it again!

Splish Splash

We decided to treat ourselves this year and we bought a pool!! It was quite the nightmare to get it set up but now that it is we are in love! Colton swims for an hour almost every night. He is going to turn into a fish I swear. Mason even loves the pool and nights when Colton and Daddy go in and he has to hang out with Mommy he gets a little mad!
