this boy just

likes to have fun!
doesn't have to be something special
just the day to day stuff he finds fun in!
like...

playing with his little people garage

sneaking away to his room to look through books
aka read and dump off the side

visit grammys when they aren't home and play in her vroom vroom
he squeals pretty much anytime we pull into their garage

giggling because he just bustered 
true little boy :-) 

getting to watch a little of the open

playing at the park even when it is 80+ degrees



getting to go on a week night boat ride

very happy buddy to be able to drive

pancakes and syrup!! FAV!

breaking out new little people 

silly boy

loving to snuggle with blanket, pillows and the mama
likes to now pull my hand to show me where to go and what to do
mama mama mama :) 

blowing the leaves and grandpa
he came to visit!
we loved it

don't be fooled by the no smile
he loves the costco
he got all excited when we pulled in to get gas
so we made a loop
aka sampled and bought something 

a night time swim with papa


loves to snuggle in our bed in the morning
and play with his fake phone
hello 
hello!?!?

more reading

a new park


a disaster try for a nap
do you see his elephant picture!?!?
ummm
he knocked it off the wall, which hit the lamp
and the monitor in the ground
then I heard... ought oh mama 
he was smiling when i walked in
he apparently was more into playing than sleeping, even though he was yawning :) 

more nap
meant more goofy playing

so off to pool to play with grammy

and 3 minutes down the road from the pool
he was out!

we have fun doing the same old 
routine stuff!
thankful for that :)

vroom vroom


looking for more rides


stopping for an elephant ear

carousel

parks. parks. parks.

we have been spending a ton of time outside and at the parks
it is the end of August and I can not believe how fast summer has gone
so we are soaking up every bit of this warm weather!

grandma and grandpa joined in on the fun!



park after dinner with papa and mama

then music in the park in Ada
Dancing along and clapping 

another day another park
this time with cousins and grandpa and grandma




then back to the baseball field park
watching the guy mow the lawn
pure bliss


water table fun

this boy sure loves a ride with a stick

new bike joys

an afternoon at the pool

we will keep up this speed of playing as long as the weather allows!
