Some Summer Fun

Last summer we got a small, round plastic pool for Tyler to play in.  This year it was time for an upgrade.  We go a 10' x 6' blow up pool that Jason and I could actually float in comfortably.  It's been a lot of fun for Tyler.  We also got to go for a ride on uncle Steve's boat one evening, we taught him all about flagging and we got to drive the boat!

Grandma and the Sprinkler

When Tyler and I are playing in the pool, or outside with water in general, I usually have him take off his shirt.  He will be climbing into the pool and I will have to stop him before he gets soaked, saying, "let's just take your shirt off, then it will be okay."  A couple weeks ago, I dropped him off with my Mom for the afternoon and I told him that after his nap he could run through the sprinkler in the front yard, just like I did when I was little.  So, after his nap, my Mom set it all up for him.  After a bit, he kept asking Grandma to run through the sprinkler.  She explained that she had her clothes on so she couldn't.  He turned to her and said, "it's okay Grandma, just take your shirt off". 

 Obviously she kept it on - thanks Mom :)

Doug & Kelly's Visit

My brother and his family make a trip out every summer and it always goes by too fast.  We squeezed in as many activities as possible this year; zoo, golf, bbq's, "adult" dinners... and as always it was so great to see them!  Tyler had a great time playing with his Montana cousins!

 Tyler has been afraid of these lion statues, but this day he got up the courage to sit on them with Will and Annemarie

 Doug found his letterman jacket at my parents house and then proceeded to stroll into the living room where we all were and "show off".  Two nights later, Jason and I showed up with ours and captured these priceless photos :)
