Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house


At the end of June I decided to take my little boys and go visit my parents.  We had lots of fun.  We got to swim a lot and hang out with grandma and grandpa.
 
 
Jackson with Grandpa in the pool - 6/28/12


Jackson had a lot of fun going off the diving board






Tyson getting ready for his first swim - 6/28/12 at almost 3 1/2 months


Tyson really started to talk and coo while we were at my parents house - he would make lots of cute noises and squeals- sometimes you couldn't tell he was making the noises but you could hear him


Showing off his sunglasses




Tyson seemed to like the water but he didn't really make much of a reaction either way
 


Jackson loves swimming


Tyson hanging out with Grandma in the pool


We were very spoiled at grandma's house - she would bring us snacks and lunch to eat by the pool


Tyson fell asleep after his first swim


Jackson helping grandma make dinner




Tyson napping


More swimming - 6/29/12




Grandma has lots of fun pool toys


We decided to go to the cove, which is an indoor pool.  Jackson really likes to go there.  My dad decided to stay home with Tyson.  We ended up going on a Friday which is the day that the city takes all of the kids that are in summer camps to the cove as well so it was a lot busier then it normally is when we have gone in the past. 


Jackson and grandma on a double tube - 6/29/12


Having lots of fun


Going down the pirate ship slide at the cove


 We took a walk to a park by my parent's house and played at the park - by the time we got there it was practically dark so we didn't stay very long - but when Jackson got to the top of this he said look I am a princess!! - maybe he has watched Tangled too many times!! - we tried to convince him that he was a prince not a princess - he wasn't so sure - he isn't to good with distinguishing gender - he still calls grandma Grandpa




 Tyson looking cute and ready to swim again - 6/30/12




He is wondering who turned out the lights!!



After we were done swimming and had dinner, we took the kids to the movie in the park.  They were showing "Puss in Boots."  It was lots of fun.  On the way to the movie I got pulled over!!!  There is a small area of houses on a busy street so it drops from like 35 down to 25.  I guess the police have been cracking down on this area and I was only going likes 3 miles over the speed limit.  The police officer was very nice and just gave me a warning.  It was interesting because my dad was telling me how my mom got pulled over in this same area and just as he said that I looked down to see how fast I was going and almost instantly I saw a police car and sure enough he was pulling me over.  At least we still made it to the movie on time.


Tyson with Grandpa - 7/1/12
 
 
We had a nice visit and the kids had a lot of fun.  I was able to have my mom help me tie a quilt for Tyson and help me make some necklaces for girl's camp.  Jackson asks all the time to go to Grandpa's house.  It covers both my parents since he calls them both grandpa.

Anniversary and more June pictures

We didn't do anything to exciting for our anniversary this year.  It was our 14 year anniversary!!  Cody and Tyson both had chiropractor appts the day before so we decided to go out to eat at the Olive Garden and celebrate.
 
 
Cody and Jackson - Jackson is downing his "special drink" which is basically anything from a restaurant in a cup with a straw - he also thinks capri suns and stuff like that are special drinks too - we can't pass water off as special drinks anymore - telling him he will get a special drink gets him to do a lot of things - his favorite special drink I would guess is a cherry limeade from Sonic - 6/18/12
 
 



Tyson and I were there too - looks like I picked the easier kid to be in charge of  since mine was sleeping!!


Tyson growing up way to fast - 6/19/12 at 3 months old


Looking so cute as he sleeps - 6/22/12 at 3 months old


Jackson and Tyson - probably watching something on tv - 6/22/12




 Doing better in the bumbo seat - he still didn't last in it very long - 6/23/12


 Love his smile


 Hanging out with dad on our bed - 6/27/12


 Jackson posing - we were watching baby einstein - 6/27/12

Father's Day

Our friends invited us over to their parents house for a little father's day bbq and swimming.  It was the day before Father's day.  Cody and Jackson had a lot of fun in the pool.  Tyson and I enjoyed watching them have fun!!
 
 


 Waving hi to me from the pool - 6/16/12




 Loving on his daddy
 





 This was Jackson's first time on a diving board - it took some convincing to get him to go off it but once he did then you couldn't stop him








Nice belly shot as he waits his turn to go off the diving board again


All my boys together on Father's day - it is even harder to get a good picture of all three of them - I don't think there is one in the tons of pictures I took of them where they are at least all looking!!!  I think it is funny to see all the attempts - 6/17/12 Jackson at 2 1/2 / Tyson at 3 months (Cody we won't say!!!)












Jackson escaping from the pictures




I love the look on Tyson's face here - if you look up close you can see where he has clawed his head to death and rubbed/clawed out parts of his hair


Jackson goofing off instead of sitting for a picture


You can really see the claw marks on Tyson's head and his patchy hair


Jackson decided to get back in the pictures - I am sure we bribed him with something






Happy Father's day to the best daddy there is!!!
 


After the photo session we decided to put gloves on Tyson so he won't keep clawing himself to death - it was funny watching him check them out - 6/17/12




He looks like he is ready to box someone - 6/17/12


Wearing dad's beanie - 6/17/12


Look at all that hair


Getting tickled by daddy


Tyson still not looking thrilled about having to wear the gloves - 6/17/12
