Bumble Bee... Or is it?

So for the 4th of July we went down to The Lake with all of Chris's family. We all had a good time and pretty much the only thing we did was be in the water. Tristan is not all that fond of the water. And so we bought this floaty for him. He saw it and was convinced it was a bumble bee. I am not quite sure what it is but I do know that I have seen bugs of approximately the same size here in Maryland... It is a scary place to live! 

Swing high!

Chris recently took down the swing in the front yard and found the only other spot in our yard suitable for a swing and put a new one up. We even bought fancy rope for it. Ha! Dallin picked out the green color. It is much taller than the previous one and more level. Though you can see all the growth behind the boys that they can potentially swing into. Beggars can't be choosers though when it comes to available swing limbs on trees. 

 Tristan does love a good swing. He will always say HIGH HIGH HIGH! And he won't stop saying it until either you push him or walk away from him. 

Can you tell Dallin dressed himself? Or Chris might have... Either way, I would never put my child in stripes AND plaid. *shivers* Dallin does love to swing too and always asks to go so high that he can touch the sky. Where does he come up with all these catchy phrases?

Growing up so fast.

I feel like it has been unusually cool this summer so far, but I am not complaining! Far from it! I love the cool weather. Anyway, one evening we were outside and Chris got home from work and were taking pictures and I wanted to get some of Warren so we could see how big he is getting!

I look so skinny in this picture but really I am just sucking it in! I have all this baby weight I need to get rid of but it is so hard to motivate myself to do anything more than just limiting my intake. Though I will admit I have gotten better about sugary things since I can't have dairy while nursing Warren. He and I don't do well on dairy. It makes Chris sad. 

 My happy smiley flying boy! 

He is now 3 months old! I finally feel like he has been in our family "forever". It is hard to imagine what life was like without him. He is really laid back and doesn't mind that I have to ignore him lots to deal with the older boys. He sleeps from 8:30 to 7:30 and wakes up usually once in there to eat around 2 or 3. He had been going all night long without waking up but then we went on a trip to the Lake and it screwed him up but we will get back there. 

My little monkey

As usual it has been a while since I updated my blog. I wanted to take a few minutes and post some stuff that we have been doing lately. I won't put a lot of text on, just a few photos here and there to let you know that we are alive and healthy and the boys are all growing up and let you know what my little boys enjoy. 

This is Tristan in the tree right in front of our living room window. He loves to climb in it and swing and be a little monkey and then he yells at me Mommy! Monkey! Ooh ooh ahh! Too cute. Dallin swings too but he doesn't say that he is a monkey. 

Tristan is quite the climber. Dallin was never much for climbing, preferring to escape with speed rather than up a tree. So it is fun to have Tristan so good at climbing, always willing to scale the wall or playground or bed.
