Too busy for blogging!

Where to begin?! We have had so much fun this summer I have just been too busy or too tired to sit down to blog. I often post pictures on Facebook for friends and family to see, but I know that not all our family is on Facebook. Sorry there have been no pictures or updates! I thought I would share some of our favorite moments over the summer.

So here we go...

A Birthday Date with Mommy - The boys and I spent a day using coupons I got for my birthday. We started with a free birthday lunch at Red Robin, headed to the mall food court for more free treats, and finished by treating the boys to build-a-bear!

 Harrison LOVES build-a-bear and has a ton! He dresses them up, talks to them, and plays with them all the time. This was Andrew's first trip since he made his first visit on his 1st birthday. It is so much fun to see their excitement!

Teddy & James

Just hanging out and having fun around the house...

Harrison made Carson "Super Baby"!

 Drive-in movie in the living room complete with cardboard box cars!

Carson had to join the fun!

 Making projects!

Harrison has quite the imagination and wanted to make a rain forest.
We decided to put dinosaurs in it.
Then when it was finished he wanted to "get in the rain forest"
and was upset that he couldn't fit!

Racing cars

Building castles

Hanging out and watching shows

Jumping on the trampoline with ties on!

 Harrison's First Trip to the Dentist

He was so excited, did great, and loved every minute of it!
He thought it was too cool that he got a goodie bag!

Harrison is such a kind, thoughtful brother.
He got 2 sugar free suckers in his goodie bag and gave one to Andrew.
I didn't even ask him to. He does that kind of thing all the time!

 Lots of Baseball Games!

 Andrew Doing Great with Potty Training!

Playing in the backyard

Added a tarp to the top of the play set for a few days.
Kept the sun off and made it like a fort!

We love to swing!

Andrew with his serious baseball face on!
This boy LOVES baseball and asks for it everyday!

Playing in the ball pit!

Uh, oh! He's escaping!

Carson loves the balls!

So much fun!

Build-a-bear tea parties!

Even Carson joins the fun!

The Cleveland Orchestra Pixar in Concert at Blossom Music Center

Grandma and Grandpa joined us for this fun evening!

The orchestra plays the movie music
as you watch clips from the different Pixar shows.

Playing in table forts made with blankets!

The boys invited Daddy to join them!

"Sleeping"

Block Party!

The boys were so excited to see the tiger!

Harrison decided he wanted to have his face painted like a tiger!

Cutest little tiger around!

Andrew chose a baseball, of course!

The perfect, round, little cheek for a baseball!

Our HS mascot is tigers, so every year they adopt a tiger
"Obie" that is raised on a farm outside of town
till it is transferred to an animal reserve.
We have a past football coach that lives on our street,
 so we get the privledge of having Obie visit our block parties!

Andrew loved the tiger and kept going back to look at him!

Happy baby taking in all the block party fun!

And crashing when it was all over!

We also took a bunch of "Mini vacations"!

That post will follow in a couple days!
