Summer is coming to an end…

Now that Gavin has started school, I can feel Summer coming to an end. Days aren’t quite as hot, nights are cooler and it’s even getting dark a little earlier. I haven’t gotten my camera out much lately. I’m not sure why though. Here are some recent-ish Summer photos. Maybe when it’s 5 degrees I will look at these and feel warmer for a bit :)

We got Brock this water table for his birthday. It’s a huge hit with both boys. So much fun :)

Jon showing them how it really works ;)

So much fun, even a bink gets abandoned

Brock is totally not afraid of the water. Turning to grab a towel is even dangerous with this kid.

A genuine smile from my little stinker ♥

One night, Gavin wanted to swim. It was about 8:00, so I told him to put his suit on (which he put on backwards ♥) and we’d turn the tub into a pool

Brock’s Big Bash!

I still can’t believe that Brock is one! It just blows my mind. How did the year fly by so fast? How did he go from that 7lb 6oz little bundle to this 25lb 11oz little man? It’s just nuts!

His party was a success! Thank you to EVERYONE who helped me get ready. Especially Aunt ‘Manda who helped with everything from the birthday shirt to cupcakes!

Brock was totally not interested in presents. I ended up opening them all for him :)

Making his rounds

I just love him :)

Saw this cake idea online. It was perfect. Thank you to Jon and Greg for working hard to make the 3D house ;) Also, thanks to the 5 people it took to get the balloons to look right.

B got a water table. It was a HIT.

It was soooo hot. We set up a couple kiddie pools and a slip n slide. Fun!

Cake time. Like I said, it was hot. B was tired. He was crabby.

Did I mention it was an Up themed party?

My grandpa said that we needed to tie a note to the balloons and let them go…. so we did.

Photo booth fun!
