Happy 2nd Birthday James!!

His very 1st car from Gigi and Papa!

He could barely keep his eyes open at this point and went to bed soon after.

The next morning!

Super cozy.

It wasn't just a fluke....

Ice cream at Orange Leaf, yum yum.

The chairs were just too inviting.

Looking for bugs!

Helping organize?

Time to take out the pool!

Running through the sprinklers whie still in pjs is a must!

Found everyone of his tools to help out while the siding guys were here fixing the house.

Ethan turns 2!  (Hopefully, I will have more pictures to come)

Learning to Swim?

Trying so hard to show us he can kick his legs while swimming.  He was a little nervous in the big pool, so we blew up the small one at home to practice.

Wheels on the Bus

   

We get to watch this and sing this song over and over and over again. Thanks Grandma Praet!  It's now limited to twice a day.  When we had no TV we pulled out some DVD's and needless to say, this was the favorite.
