We love summer!!!

After being cooped up all winter (especially with a new baby in the house, we didn't go play outside much) we have been more than excited for summer!! Tyson loves being outside and could spend from sun up to sun down outside! Lily loves being outside too! She is a happy baby, but outside she is even happier!

My house has taken a hit. I haven't been keeping up on it as much as I like, but I would much rather be taking the kids to do fun outdoor stuff than cleaning the house! My friend Emily and her cute little family just moved back from Oklahoma, and we have taken full advantage of living in the same state again. We went and played at their house and let the kids swim one week, the next week we met at the Gateway for the kids to play in the water. It took a little while for them to warm up to it, but by the end they didn't want to go home! (Especially Tyson) Although, I think they played on the rocks by the stream more than they played in the water! (Above: Tyson and Olivia)

Cute Lily. I had her dressed in too many clothes and it got too warm so we striped her down to her onesie!

I finally broke out our swimming pool and Tyson was in heaven. Lily loves to splash and crawl in the water too!

Man, don't they look so much alike! Even down to their open mouth smiles!

Tyson swimming! He put almost all of his outdoor toys in the pool with him!

It is hard to tell in this picture, but I painted Lily's toenails for the first time! I love having a girl!

Lily enjoying her bottle outside! I took the picture because I love how babies keep their legs up in the air when on their backs!

Lily in her cute little swimming suit! This picture doesn't do it justice, but it is the most adorable swimsuit! Do you recognise that it is Lily since she doesn't have a headband on?!? ;)

Papa, Zak, Tyson and Brandon went to a Bee's game last Thursday night. Tyson had the best time ever! He ate popcorn, peanuts, pizza, ice cream (I am sure there was more but that is all I remember hearing about) He played on the blow-up toys, rode the train, was a mad man, and oh yeah, he watched a baseball game! ;) They got home at 10:30 and I expected Brandon to be carrying Tyson straight to bed because he was asleep, but Tyson walked right in the door wide awake and told me all about the game! His feet were filthy because he always insists on taking off his shoes when he is playing on grass! Crazy kid!

Tyson and Papa!

Tyson and the Bee's mascot!

On Monday, we went with some ladies from the neighborhood to the zoo! Tyson is a fast zoo goer. He sees an animal and two seconds later he is ready to move on to the next animal! The other kids were not that way. They were content looking at the animals for 5-10minutes at a time. We got quite a ways ahead of the rest of the group!

Tyson was so excited to ride on the carousal. He asked me for about 10 minutes when we were going to ride it!

Lily at the zoo! She loves seeing everything. She usually takes a good 2hr morning nap, so I expected her to sleep most of the time we were at the zoo, but she stayed awake the whole time, and was the happiest girl!

Tyson is almost as big as a gorilla!

Some friends shared their cotton candy! YUM!

Lily and London (one of our neighbor friends) playing at the playground and trying to eat wood chips!

Cute Lily! Tyson's favorite part of the zoo was the playground! He could have stayed there for hours! He made friends with every kid he came in contact with! When he would go down the slide, he would yell "Come on guys, lets go slide!" I don't think any kid listened to him, but he thought they were all his best friend!

Brandon got this free hat from work and gave it to Tyson. It is a little big for him, but I think he looks awesome when he wears it backward!

We have had so much fun so far and we are excited for summer to continue!

Yeah for sunshine!
