90's party, wee flip, and others

we went to the mcwane center with grandma and the kids she is babysitting. we had a lot of fun and hannah was once again obsessed with charlie! she will be a good momma one day :)

 

 i took the boys to publix after naps and they both enjoyed their cookies!

 saturday night we went to our sunday school 90's party. it was lots of fun and we stayed out until 11:00 (thanks to johnny's mom!)!! i of course had to wear my hanson shirt and johnny went for the dawson's creek look

 sunday we had some friends over for dinner and had a lot of fun! the kids were so good together...they are growing up so fast! 

 yesterday we went to wee flip with lillian and john whitten and jack showed off his gymnastics skills :)

 he has really good balance

 and great upper body strength! 

 jack and lillian got along great

 so cute!

 jack and lillian are still holding hands :)

lately

 friday we went to botanical gardens with grandma and 2 kids she is babysitting

 we picked our first tomato :)

 i can't believe that charlie is drinking so well out of a sippy cup! i never thought the day would come. i know i havesaid it before, but i still can't believe it! it makes me so happy :)

 he is eating so well too! i mean he eats more than jack!!!

 this is all you need for tons of fun!

 jack played with this for about an hour!

 last night we went to the end of the summer reading program at our library. it was hot, but still fun family time!

 jack liked collecting all the stickers

 and showing off his dancing skills :)

 charlie had fun picking the grass and dancing too

 today we went to the splash pad and had a wonderful time! i loved watching both my boys have so much fun!

charlie did not like the concrete on his knees...i don't blame him. so he figured out a new way to crawl

climber and swimmer's ear

 charlie is no longer my "easy" baby...he keeps me on my feet all day. he is a climber and he LOVES to get into pete's water bowl. but he sure is one cute climber!!

 poor jack will never be able to play with anything without charlie getting it again

 sitting in his chair...and look at those pearly whites! he has 4 total now...2 top, 2 bottom. he is getting 2 more top teeth now.

 i made jack a hot dog octopus in a sea of noodles and goldfish :)

 jack got swimmer's ear when he was in columbus and to get him to let us put drops in his ear we had to bribe him with a playdoh kit that i bought. (yes i bribe my child...i don't care if you judge me). he HATES the drops and i had to practically hold him down to get them in his ear. he is still very protective over that ear...although today he said, "which ear was it that was hurt?" so that just tells me that he is better.

i really want to put drops in after he swims for now on...we'll see if he lets us!

 we went to the zoo on thursday and saw the reptiles...jack's new favorite part of the zoo

we went with jack's bff!

camp mimi and papa

the boys stayed with mimi and papa for a week!!

 and they're off!

jack and frank had so much fun at camp mimi and papa! they did so much that week. my parents were worn out by the time we got there, but they had so much fun with the boys making special memories and spoiling them rotten!

i know jack is looking forward to camp 2013!!

and now we came to visit too :)

my parents got an above ground pool and my dad is building a deck around it. i am super excited!!

jack had so much fun swimming. he is really getting pretty good :)

the men working on the deck. it was so hot...poor guys!

mimi must have filled up about 100 water balloons

taking a dip after a long days work

we celebrated my mom's birthday a few days early

i can't believe that this is the kid that refused to jump off the side of the pool at swimming lessons!! he is so brave and i am so proud!
