Parker and Bennett cooked us dinner last weekend! Mmmm delicious!

This video was taken while we were in Centralia too. Bennett and Parker enjoyed many of their meals Al Fresco. Bennett especially enjoyed this meal of spaghetti

Here is a video from when we were last in Centralia. Parker got all dolled up with beads and earrings and danced and sang the alphabet in her own special way. Enjoy!

Here are a few cute photos from this weekend.

I found some small floaties and thought that Bennett would love them...and he did! It took him awhile to get himself balanced (he swallowed a lot of water) but he started to like floating on his own.

Parker and Bennett playing with all the fun stuff a kitchen has to offer. They really enjoy playing with each other as long as Bennett doesn't get into Parker's things or in her chair.

Cute pictures from out weekend in Columbus visiting Andrea and the girls!

Parker and her Pacifier!

Does anyone have any ideas on how we can get rid of the pacifier....again!

This picture makes me sad...it was taken last week. She looks too much like a big girl. She is getting big so fast! (see the pictures below). I think it is about time she gets a haircut. I was going to let it grow out but it seems that her bangs have gotten only long enought to cover her eyes and get in the way. Please post a comment saying "yes" or "no" to having her hair cut.

This picture was taken last fall...she has changed so much!

This one was only taken in January! Can you believe how fast they grow.

BENNETT IS WALKING

Bennett has been walking for about a week but this is the first video that I've gotten of it. Parker, Bennett and I were out playing in the rain the other day. They both had a blast!

Here are some more pictures of us just hanging around and enjoying the summer. I hope everyone is having as much fun as us! There is one problem though....it is already unbearably HOT down here. I'm afraid that August is going to be miserable

Parker and Bennett just being silly

An evening by the pool with friends

Bennett loves anything that is Parker's!

Singin' in the rain This is so much fun mom!
It is so funny that he is in the rain covered in mud because I NEVER would have let Parker do this. It is really true that the second child gets to do a whole lot more than the first.

Enjoying summer!
Since we have gotten back from Centralia we've just been enoying our days -- for me that means work in the morning and reading all afternoon -- but when Parker and Bennett come home that means hanging by the pool and swimming! Parker has had two weeks of swim lessons and has made tremendouse progress. She is going back for swim lesson next week and the week after so I can only imagine what she will be doing after that.
