Day at the "pool"

I love the summer days when Joshua comes home from a road trip. He normally comes home on a Monday afternoon and he doesn't have to go into work. It is nice to have an extra afternoon with him home.

We decided to air up Coopers pool and let him swim for awhile. I know I have taken pictures of Cooper swimming in his pool before, but I wanted to get a few of Maylea in her suit. I put a beach towel over her chair, hooked the ipod up to it, and the two of us hung out on the porch while the boys played in the yard.

Love the little ruffles on her bottom!!!

Ice cream cone

I thought that I was taking pictures of Cooper's first ice cream cone, but when I pulled out the camera and started taking pictures mom asked why. As I explained to her she said, "no it isn't." I guess he has had one with grandma before. I went ahead and took a few pictures of him. He did a really good job eating it, however, when he gets to the cone he thinks he is done and throws it away!

At the lake

Cooper spent the afternoon of mom's birthday (June 28th) with Aunt Cori and Uncle Luke. Luke has an Aunt and Uncle that live on a private lake so they took Cooper out to their house. He had a good time with them and was SO WIPED OUT that he did not sleep very well that night. He desperately needed the sleep, but that didn't happen!!!!
