Pool Time!

 
He's wearing his swimsuit, got his stuffed babies and his Mama's hat. Ready to go!

                                                     First trip to Volcano Island in 2014!


Totally different kid from the tearful, fearful child I brought here last year and the year before. Dylan 3.5 goes down waterslides by himself and willingly gets drenched by the massive Splash Bucket!
















  

Cute n' Crazy Kids at Dairy Queen!

               Sulking. He had to wait for me to finish eating before he could get an ice cream cone. 

 
 He was fine with waiting for ice cream...

,,,but then he wasn't. Impatient kids!!
 
I think some of the ice cream actually made it into his mouth!
 
 

At the Park



 
                                                                        So handsome!
This is what I got when I said "Show me a cute face!"


                      Evan had just gotten his hair cut that morning but Dylan's appointment wasn't until the   following week. Looks a bit shaggy in these pics! :)
 
 



 

Window Seat

 
 When we first moved into our house in 2003, we installed a kitty perch on the window sill in our bedroom so our cat Willie could watch the "Birdie Show" outside.  Willie, Crosby and now Fergie and Dougal have all logged in a lot of hours of bird watching from that perch. However, Dougal (all 16 pounds of him) jumped up on it recently and the whole thing came crashing down to the floor. The mechanism that attached it to the wall and the window sill broke in the process of this crash so I ended up trashing it. Now the boys have to crowd onto a small vanity stool in order to take in the view.
                                    I love the way Dougal is flopped right on top of Fergie's tail!










The End of Kindergarten!

It's hard to believe that Evan's year of Kindergarten has come and gone, but his last day was June 13th! On Tuesday June 10th, his class had an End-Of-Year Party with outside playtime which Tom and I both attended.

  Off to Kindergarten for the last time!! On September 2nd, 2014, he'll be my big First Grader!!
