Summer Fun

I was trying to get a couple of pictures of the boys the other morning.  This one was on the run...

After who else?!  Emma.  Poor dog.  I think she will happy with a bigger house. 

I did manage to get the cutest picture.  I love it.  =)  The two sweetest boys in the world. 

Mom got Mason and Brody a sand and water table.  We put it together Sunday night, but didn't get to use it until Monday.  Mason has gone outside every single night to play with it...I know this because he drags a pound of sand back in the house each night.  Thanks Mom. =)

But you can tell, both boys have really enjoyed it.  We have tried to keep Brody away from it the last couple of days because he continues to eat the sand.  We will probably just start to use it as a water table and then switch back to sand in a few months when he is older.  

Mason has also been practicing his driving skills with his Dad.

(he just sat there while John pulled the car into the garage)

We have discovered something this week.  Brody just learned how to actually put food in his mouth last week, but ever since then, he has been "yelling" at us when we are eating.  He also screams (until you give him something like Puffs) after his baby food like he is still hungry.  

So I talked to Mrs. Pat Tuesday afternoon about maybe starting him on regular food.  I had attempted it a couple of times but it was just banana or something really soft.  Well he ended up eating 3 pancakes (small ones) and a 1/2 of a banana for breakfast yesterday!  

Then April sent me a picture of him after lunch sitting in the highchair.  That boy ate almost an entire grilled chese sandwich!!!!  

Here he is eating some (nasty) chicken stick things that he loves and carrots.  He savored every bite.  He was sooooooo much happier yesterday.  I think we have been starving him.  Ha!

And here is the weather forecast for Playa Del Carmen in Mexico for next week!  John and I leave on July 4th for five nights!  We are going with our friends Ben and Melissa and I am so excited!  Can't wait!

We are sure going to miss these two having screaming matches bright and early in the mornings!!!  We are so very thankful for our parents who are going to watch our kiddos and dog.  You are awesome!
