Summer Feet

There's nothing like running barefoot through the soft summer grass! Of course,

my kids run barefoot through the grass in any season regardless of the temperature. 

Whit strikes again!

Left alone for 2 minutes while I changed a diaper, Whit manages to find the only working EXPO marker in the entire house and draws a "lovely" masterpiece on Carson and Reese's wall! Oh, how I love 2 year olds!!!

Whit's "Utility Belt"

Whit has found a new use for his diaper- Utility Belt just like Batman! He happens to have an action figure shield, ipod nano, playing card and toy symbol stuffed in there. I am not sure how he plans to use them but maybe he is crafty like "McGyver" and can concoct some sort of bomb or weapon to help him escape the bad guys!

New or Retro style?

New fashion trend or Retro style ala DEVO in the "WHIP IT" music video?

Typical ME

Brett got a hold of my camera and snapped some pictures of me sitting on the sidewalk. Not the best but so TYPICAL of me and my days right now. You can usually find me outside in a t'shirt and running shorts with my hair up in some sort-of ponytail or messy bun with my sunglasses on. Not glamorous by any means but definitely comfortable. Like most Moms, I take tons of pictures of my kids but rarely find myself in the photos. When I am in a picture I usually HATE how I look- too many wrinkles, bad hair, excess weight in certain areas etc.- but I really need to get a grip. No one cares except me. My mission is to get in front of the camera more instead of always being behind it!

Boys of Summer

So far this summer has consisted of a lot of playing in the yard. I can't seem to muster the energy to go much further than the YMCA for a quick workout. Since Murphy is too little to wear sunscreen and with the weather being so unbearably HOT it has just been easier to hang out at home. I am sure it is a little boring at times but I guess we will survive a little boredom. Before we know it school and fall sports will start and we will be on the go-go-go so I am going to enjoy the rest of our "quiet" summer.

Obsession

Whit is obsessed with his mower and wants to go outside and do yard work ALL the time. If he heres one of the neighbors crank up any yard tool he is immediately out the door to watch them. This obsession must be genetic because Brett was exactly the same when he was 2.
