Goggles anyone?

Thought these pictures deserved a post of their own! Connor decided that goggles were pretty cool on our trip and spent most of his time wearing them. Somehow the look didn't catch on w/ anyone else there, so he had his own "special" look for the week!

Goggles... in the yard

No explanation for this stance... but somehow reminded us of a move Uncle Todd used to do when we were younger. Sorry Todd!

Goggles... on the dock

Foggy goggles... at lunch

Our Cabin Trip

We spent a week at the cabin with Mom, Dad, Kait & Chris (plus Amanda & Shannon on the weekend). It was really fun to have a whole week together - I think the boys decided that Daddy should be w/ them everyday/allday from now on after this trip : ) Here are some pictures from the week - sorry there aren't more of the adults, but most of them included swimsuits and I figured we'd spare everyone that!

Connor turned 4 while we were there and was spoiled the whole week! Here are a few pictures from his party... no laughing at the cake!

Chef Connor

Here are his new fireman boots... this was the present he'd been wishing for the most : )

There was lots of fishing going on... here are the boys checking out Brian's bass. I think Ty needs to get a LITTLE closer!!

Here is Brian w/ the big bass... he was pretty happy - it was 5.3 lbs which is bigger than any bass he's caught up here so far.

Connor fished lots everyday too

Grandpa decided to make the kids a deluxe sandbox while he was up there. Connor got to help stain it... and yes he is wearing a leapord pillowcase to cover his clothes. Whatever works!!

The boys had a great time on their makeshift raft. The guys were putting the dock in and we decided to let them have a little island of their own.

Floating

Apparently Ty got tuckered out on the big paddleboat ride. He did this a couple times on the trip : )

Ty with his bucket

Connor spent lots of time along the shore collecting rocks, minnows etc...

Little Cousins

We got to have little Adriana & Rochelle for a visit a few weeks ago... here are some pictures of the kids enjoying their cousins...

The buddies after their mini birthday party. Adriana was really cute always wanting to sit by her cousin and keep up w/ the big guys : )

We went to the park and the kids thought the bridge was pretty neat

Checking out some baby ducks

Peeking

I love how she's standing - such a natural girl : )

The little guys









The big kids spent lots of time driving the hummer w/ Adriana close behind : )



Ty sat on the porch and kept Phoebe (the girls dog) company while she was taking a break in her kennel.

Life jackets... on dry land

Connor decided that he and Ty needed to try out life jackets at home the other day. Ty went along with it but didn't seem to understand the master plan at first.

Here's Ty looking a little bewildered and w/ his straps needing a little adjustment : )

Apparently Connor found wearing the life jacket very invigorating. Major power walk going on! Ty tagged along for the trip down the driveway.

Felt bad about this picture. I asked Connor to swing his arms a little less so I could get a picture w/o all the blur. Here he is w/ his arms pinned to his sides... I totally wrecked the moment... should have left him having fun. Ty was still trudging along.

Here they are sacked out after the big trip down the driveway... apparently Ty was tuckered out by the whole thing!
