July fun - Seattle does have a summer....

Well summer officially began on July 5th which is pretty typical.  I've got the a/c blasting haha.  We've been having some outdoor fun finally.  I love summer time.  I wish it lasted a few more months than it does.  Syd is talking up a storm, connecting whole sentences now.  It's a little scary how she picks it all up.  Tyler as noted in my earlier post started crawling on July 20th after momma got home from work.  We were all so excited and Tyler is still learning his new skill everyday.  He is figuring it out slowly but surely that he can get places and try to keep up with his sis.  He's got a bit to go but is seeing the light.  Tyler is saying more like momma and daddy and a few other consant sounds and of course is still bald as ever with a bit more fluff in the back.  This summer has been great fun and kept us very busy.  Love to all and my goal for the remaining 2010 is to keep this thing updated :) 

Sandbox is out and in full effect.  Note made in mom journal - do not apply sunblock then play in sand right away haha

Pool time.  These kids will play in the pool if it's 30 below outside.  Chattering lips, shaking bodies....no one seems to care. I don't get it

Sliding down the slide backwards

Baby boy loves loves loves the water

Hey mister...how did you get over there...

Being silly ladies

What did you find under the couch....

4th of July celebration

Had a wonderful 4th of July staying in town.  We first went to a parade in Everett where Grandma Betty was the Queen of the Senior Center and got to ride around waving her wand in her tiara.  It was awesome and we even got to visit with the Phillips and Jim and Nova.  Then we headed back home for some good naps and then over to a friends house for some good food, company and then the fireworks.  Thankfully Scott did make us go downtown to watch the fireworks and our friends had a view from their house.  It was lots of fun.  Ty didn't stay up late enough but he promised next year.  Syd stayed up and partied like the rest of us. 

All snuggled up waiting for the parade to start

Momma and her M&M boy

Aunt Linda helped Syd get a flag from the parade peps.  She still has this flag and is sure I never throw away

Hangin out with Cousin Colin

It's official - The Ty man is crawling - 072010

June - Atlanta and Lake Lanier

Well my camera went out about halfway through the vacation but see Aunt CC's blog for more pics.  Such a wonderful time, we didn't want to leave.  The kids did great minus the flight home so couldn't have asked for a better vacation. 

Flight to Atlanta wasn't bad at all....for these two....I'm bouncing the crazy man in the aisles haha

The kids (Ty is in backpack) posing at the aquarium.  They had so much fun running around like crazies.

Baby Ty Ty missing another morning nap so all snuggled up at the aquarium trying to take it all in

This was such a cool wall, hard to tell by the picture but you can push the wall and various things light up.  It was super cool.  Spent at least 15 minutes in just this area. 

Jonah really took to Ty, so adorable!!  He loves his baby couz

Such a great big cousin holding hands. 

Uncle Jeff holding the little dude.

Zekey and Syd checking out the new book Auntie Susie got us

At the Coke museum and Syd was having NOTHING to do with that creepy bear haha.  Lots of tears followed

Sweet baby boy was so tired and napped on daddy's chest all through lunch.  He missed out on some good food. 

Lake time!  Syd getting ready to go swimming

Uncle Michael and Win ready to brave the lake

We did so much just hanging out in the water, it was so wonderful!!

Wanted to go boating but I think once she realized momma wasn't coming her mind quickly changed.

Taking a break with daddy on the trampoline

Craft time with Aunt CC, always a big hit

Once the poster was painted we all decided to paint ourselves....I mean why not

Win was loving the painting.  Good times

Coloring with Aunt Janie

Bottle time with Papop

Nana putting Syd's hair up a lovely pony tail.  She loved it!

I mean why can't uncle Michael have a pony tail too?  It only makes sense

Forced crawling by the family haha.  Ty just curled up hoping everyone would leave him alone haha

Syd still looks at this picture and says "Loud"  Both were extremely fascinated by this weed eater

Late June we had a wedding to attend.  Syd had tons of fun spinning around and dancing on the dance floor.  The kids were passed out before the car even started.
