Weekend

Let the pictures and captions commence:

We actually woke up before him on Friday! That's right - he slept past 8!

We have a little local park and we decided to have a little family outing.

O loved every minute of his first ever ride on a Go-Cart.

He also had his first carousel ride. He was so surprised when the horse started moving up and down!

He made Drew sit down next to him.

Despite how he looks in this picture, he really enjoyed all of the park.

We also had our first ride on the tiny train. (the windblown look)

If he knows his picture is being taken, he always sticks out his tongue.

On Saturday morning, we got to have some of my breakfast favorites. Starbucks...

...and Shipley's Do-Nuts.

O prefers kolaches to do-nuts.

The boys had a breath-holding contest. O won three out of four times! He can go for up to 45 seconds! It's quite impressive.

He was so tired. He actually took himself to bed!

The boys surprised me with coffee delivery for my birthday on Sunday.

And I also got some breakfast in bed. They had practiced singing in the car and sang "Happy Birthday" together.  I didn't have time to catch it on film, but trust me...it was SO cute to hear O singing.

How handsome is this boy?! - (waiting to leave for church)

O begged to go to the water park on Sunday after church. He loves the water.

We all had a good time!

On Sunday evening we celebrated with friends at a local restaurant.

(Trying not to smile now that he knows Drew is taking a picture.)

We have the sweetest friends! E came wearing this cute little sign!

I promise one day soon I will write a real post with words and everything! But we are really enjoying the summer, and we cannot believe how quickly time is passing by...

Rolling Along

Without further ado...the second half of our week in photos:

Just chatting

Loving the legos.

We built a house.

Playing with the cars.

I used our Braille labeler to add Braille stickers to the alphabet puzzle.

O is such a quick learner!

Getting ready for pool time.

On Wednesday, we had popsicles ("Pepsi-Cola") in the pool! haha

Yum!

"Ay, Rain!"

We had quite a bit of rain this week.

But we are grateful for the water and the break in the heat.

On Wednesday we had life group.

O is getting more comfortable with the layout of Karl and Erica's yard.

He was running around jumping and tumbling.

His favorite game is running from Major.

"Ready. Steady. Go!"

He got so sweaty from all the running and playing.

Swing, please.

O asked me to bring the play-doh, roller and cookie cutters to life group.

He seems to enjoy rolling out the dough and cutting shapes. (We need to get some alphabet cutters. He tries to relate all the shapes to letters.)

He is still loving the keyboard.

He enjoys making some early morning music.

He asks almost every day to swim at 2pm.

Spelling with the water.

We had our first family movie night last night, and O was SO excited!

It was so fun to watch him enjoy the movie!

He listened to the second half of the movie from the dog bed.

We hope you are all having a good week too!

Ps. Did you notice that we finally pulled out the real camera this week?! We now have something more than iPhone photos!
