Tripp has amazed me at how quickly it has taken him to master his floaties...it took Ruth Ann all summer when she was this age, but this little guy seems determined to keep up with his big sister!
Here's Arch with his small, medium and large babies...how unfair is it that they ALL look like him!
We only wish this belonged to us...I've wanted a jet ski for a while. Arch keeps looking for a good deal but it's crazy expensive to even buy a used one...I think our search will continue for a while! We've had lazy days snuggling in the bed late into the morning since this sweet girl is out of school...
Tripp has had MULTIPLE fat lips...I'm currently gathering a well stock first aid kit because I've found little boys to be bleeders!
We went to the beach...this was actually our 2nd trip to visit my friend Page who very kindly allows us to invade her space whenever we like.
Arch came along on this trip which was a nice break for me and I could actually enjoy some time chatting and not chasing kids!
Tripp took a few short naps on the beach...but he's growing tired of this kind of napping because the naps are getting shorter and shorter. There may not be anything sweeter than a baby napping on the beach in his diaper!
Some of us were more worn out than others...
A fun weekend makes for a quite ride home...
Ruth Ann took swimming lessons and by day 3 was swimming! I'm so proud of her and have plans for early lessons next summer followed by signing her up for swim team. I'm told they start at age 4 and it's basically 3 days a week of swimming and then the parents stand around cheering them on while the big kids really compete. I think it will be great practice and Ruth Ann really seems to enjoy swimming anyway!
This is our sweet friend Mary Beth...don't let the bows and monograms fool you...these two are tough...they asked if they could do a super hero picture...watch out 3-4 year old boys in the greater Lexington area...these girls are equal parts sassy and bossy!
We've had lots of hot weather...this was day 1 of the heat wave...it was 106 on some days...
Ruth Ann and I both love El Chico's...tex-mex...but Arch hates it, so she and I had a mommy-daughter lunch date...
We went back to my mom's pool for some more swimming...
Where Tripp refused to nap...
Ruth Ann played with some of our favorite friends...
And Tripp drank half a box of Capri-Sun Roaring Waters...
Then we went back to the lake for the 4th of July...
And Tripp longingly watch others playing on the lake...
Then we went the Brown's annual 4th of July party...
And as you can see Tripp drank more Capri-Sun's...and hung out with his big brother that we don't see often enough these days.
Ruth Ann briefly held a sparkler...shortly after I got this picture a spark hit her and that was it for firework fun for this girl...we also celebrated our 2nd amendment rights as demonstrated by my 3 year old holding a toy hand gun!
On days where we didn't make it to my mom's pool or the lake we got out our little plastic pool...and Tripp proceeded to empty the water one cup at a time...
Thus explaining why the bathroom floor is always wet after bath time.
Ruth Ann and I made our first trip to the library. I took her picture in front of this statue outside the library because it's in honor of Ms. Bedenbaugh who my elementary school librarian...and maybe 3 other generations of people too...she was there for 40 years!
Ruth Ann and Lacie Lou enjoyed some painting time together on the iPad...such a fun app!
We went to a fun party for our friend Ben...it took Ruth Ann a little while to warm up but she was sliding and having fun...eventually...
Tripp tried to relive his days in the baby swing by using the play swing for Ruth Ann's baby dolls...
I thought Ruth Ann had cleaned up her play kitchen...until I opened the cabinet door...not as clean as I thought...
Tripp played with baby dolls...which I'm certain will make him a great daddy one day!
Tripp had his 18mth check up...which meant shots...he didn't know what was coming when I took this picture...
I organized and put away my spring fabric...all of which was bought with a project in mind...now they'll be projects for Spring/Summer 2013!
And Tripp did some more sleeping...I laugh when I find him this way because I know he's really sleeping hard...the higher his behind is the better he's sleeping!
And that brings up to date. Ruth Ann and I are on our way back to the beach tomorrow afternoon...so I'm sure I'll be blowing up my Instagram this weekend too!
