Cool Kats!

Aden and Andrew are staying very busy this summer. Lots of tractor riding, some swimming, travelling, playing with toys, getting dirty and being all round 'cool kats'.

We had a visit from Nanny too. She was a huge hit with Aden and Andrew. They loved spending time with her and I think she likes them too.

Here are Aden and Andrew babysitting Lola. They thought she was pretty interesting.

Andrew knows anytime is a good time for playing tractor.

Hope everyone is doing well. We are hoping to stay a little drier this month and soon to have pictures of our newest building project. It should actually get finished in just a few weeks as we are not attempting to do it ourself. Oy vey! XXXOOO

Tractors

For any of you that don't know Paul and I have purchased our first tractor! We are having a ball with it and it is just a little tiny one. We have been digging, tilling and mowing maniacs (mainly Paul and the boys). They love riding with him and he loves giving them the ride. So that works out.
We had a lot of fun making Mother's day cards for Nana and Grandma. Aden and Andrew did some very fine finger painting.

Then we took these pictures to put on the front.

Aren't they a couple of cheeseballs! They are really digging their trikes and Daddy bought them each toy tractors that are a hit too.

Big Boy Haircuts and More

Hi all,

Well I broke down and let the boys get haircuts. They are big boys now for sure! They are both busy and very curious little guys. Yesterday we met Aunt Judy at the zoo. The animals are much more interesting now and the geese were a huge hit. Aden got a real kick from chasing one and making him fly. Both guys are starting to talk more all the time. Aden likes to say 'drive truck' and Andrew's favorite phrase is 'shoot ball'. Anytime we see a truck, tractor or heavy equipment Aden starts the motor noise and anytime there is anything like a ball or basket, Andrew says 'shoot' and 'ball'. Andrew says lots of words: chair, teeth, eye, keys, ear, up, eat, cheese, shoe just to name a few. Aden says a few of these, but is more into physical communication. He likes to grab our hands and put it on the toy or button like he wants and brings us things all the time. He also has learned to take us by the hand and lead us where he wants. They definitely have little minds of their own.

Bath time grins- they have to be contained to take a photo together.

Playing on the counter top this morning.

Andrew- 'all gone'.

Pooped out after a day at the zoo.

Hope everyone is doing well!
