Newfound Treasure

Can you believe someone got rid of this?  Good thing I'm above picking through people's trash or else my children may have never had the experience.


Joy!  Just when our inflatable pool was getting too small.  Plus it broke




Guess where that stream is coming from?  The hose!  ha ha ha



Cleaning his favorite toy.  The car.  

 He was just spraying his brother in the face with the hose. Nice.

 Buckethead #2

 That's an interesting move

 Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the ONLY shot I could get of them (out of about 17) that has them both looking at the same time. I had to make strange bird sounds.  My neighbors must think we're housing South American birds or something.


The party was moved to the backyard because somebody kept running around the car.. naked.  Not naming names.  Barley loves the hose as much as the boys


Getting Brother back!!  

Seriously contemplating if he should make a move and try to touch the mosquito candle.

By the way, you have to click on the picture to view the video.  Blogger takes WAY to long to upload so I have them on my Picasa account.  Hope this helps!

Reluctant Waker



Apparently, I was a little premature in getting him up after his afternoon nap.






I'm awake now, Mommy.  I promise...



okay, maybe not *just* yet




Okay, seriously.. getting up



Where's my coffee?

How hard is it to take 1 picture??

Just one picture that's not blurry, where I can see the subject(s) face clearly and the other items that I want to make up the composition of the photo in clear view as well.  That's not too much to ask, is it?  How hard can that be?!










Impossible.

Not much going on

So here are a few pictures from around the house these days...


At Cocoa Beach pool.  I've never seen a baby that loves the water more than Eamon does



Jack went on vacation and he came back a swimmer!  The Gestapo pool staff (as my Dad likes to call them) "recommend" the vest.  It's actually nice because Jack can swim around and jump in the water without us being right on top of him.  He's doing so great as swimming, I hope to keep him in some classes throughout the year.




Reeeeeeeeach


Someone got into the crayons.  I wonder who?



Jack recently started Lab School for the fall semester.  It's a mommy & me class that is much like a Montessori program.  It's called "lab school" because the parents are the ones enrolled through the local community college.  The parents go to monthly night meetings to learn about science based parenting practices and methods.  The day portion of the class with the child is where the parents can practice what they've learned in the theory class, thus, "lab school." 

This is before the first day of school.  Since that day, Jack has asked to go to Lab School every morning.  Right now we go once a week, but I'm hoping a spot will open up for 2xweek.  Eamon sits with a babysitter and loves his new best friend.



Eamon's new trick: Climbing!  Chairs, slides, toys, water tables, you name it and he will try to conquer it



We've come a long way.  Just a short while ago Jack was terrified of the vacuum.  He's not really fond of "loud noises" so this is a huge step.  The vacuum is on, too!  We've practiced by getting Jack his own little vacuum so he can help Mommy.  He got brave and wanted to use the "big vacuum."  Way to go, Little Man!  I'm so proud



Eamon is in love with Barley.  He loves giving him kisses, says "Ba-ba" for Barley and knows how to sign the baby version of DOG.  He pats the side of his leg with his hand like he's calling the dog to him.  I'll post some videos in the next entry that shows him doing it.

Vegas Part Deux


Okay this was taken Thursday night before we parted ways only to be brought together again under duress.  Outside Treasure Island


This was Sunday afternoon hanging out in the Venetian pools


Walking in to the Bellagio garden.  So amazing

Us in the lobby of the Venetian


Who's bad?


That's my girl Cindy!  The photographer behind all these pictures on this post


Heck yes, ready to go home. 


Matt telling the bride & groom some marriage pointers.  #1 - never get lost in downtown Vegas and have your wife find you while driving by in a cab  #2 - Thank wife profusely and take her out to expensive dinner should #1 occur


I'm a little bit obsessed


our hotel



On the flight home I tried to get Matt to commit to taking me back for my birthday next year.  I didn't get that commitment, but I do plan on going back.  It was great fun with great friends for a great occassion.
