Summer Fun!

We are having a good summer! We stay busy - but mostly stay home. We have lots of fun playing outside (Teague's favorite thing to do is play hopscotch....he is so proud that he can hop around on one foot - not that he couldn't do it earlier this summer, he has just perfected it. So cute!). So we play a lot of hopscotch and we swim a lot. It's been awesome.

I got a new camera last week so I am enjoying playing with it. It takes really nice pictures - so now I have my nice compact camera and a larger one.

The countdown is on. Ryan is back to work a week from Monday and I will start one month from Friday I will be back. I have been mentally prepping myself for awhile now. The kids will go to daycare two days a week once school starts so hopefully it won't be such a "shock" for them. There are honestly days when Teague takes his afternoon nap still in his pj's. So the idea of getting both kids ready every morning and out the door could prove really daunting. Ok, really Teague will be hard. Lola is still easy to hold down and throw into her carseat!

Lola is sleeping well still (with the exception of sleeping at my parent's this past weekend - OMG.) She got her 3rd tooth in now and has two on the bottom and one on the top! She is so fun and (speed) walks everywhere. I am trying to get her used to wearing shoes (not fun) as she has not wore shoes at all in her baby life. She loves her bottle finally and is just all around a total joy!

Teague is just as hilarious as ever. He now wants us to sit on the couch so he can "put on a show for you". Then he stomps around like a dinosaur and sings "When you're Big" (from the Land Before Time). He plays with an imaginary friend (no name at this point) and totally entertains us with his little sayings. Soooooo fun.

This past weekend we went to Morris for the good old county fair. We had some good food and good fun. Teague still loved seeing the animals - so I am glad that still holds some excitement for him over the rides. I am seeing that will not be possible in the years to come!

This weekend we have our "town days" which we have been planning to attend for some time with the kids and pictures with our favorite photographer, Amy, on Friday for the kids' 1st and 3rd year pictures. So excited!!

Have a good week!

Lola the Lizard - typical for her to walk around with her tongue hanging out!

Cutie pie trying to climb down the pool ladder!

....and trying to climb up!

Pretty normal response from Teague when I try to take his picture.

....but he can still look sweet once in a while.

....and then kinda naughty looking too (notice Lola taking it allllllll in?!)

Hello there little Ms. Blue Eyes!

This is a rarity (Teague smiling and me in the picture)!

Almost perfect picture.

Me with both of the kids! (well sort of - Lola just got in there accidentally)!
