Cool Auntie

Today Cohen got to spend the day with his cool Auntie Karen.

We had the house to ourselves so he had all the toys to himself.

He took full advantage and that.

He was one busy boy today!

I forgot how busy babies are once they get moving.

First we got messy with mashed bananas

Then we tried changing your diaper but you got away.

I decided you could play for a little because I am cool like that.

After a while it was time for a diaper and nap.

He got all rolled up snug and laid down without a single fuss.

While he was sleeping I set up a little photo shoot.

I had gotten him a cool like Auntie shirt a while back 

and wanted to take some pics in it.

I liked the props and so did Cohen.

He kept eating his sunglasses and the poor crab.

But at least he was having fun and I got to snap away.

After our little photo shoot we changed clothes and ate lunch.

This was even messier then breakfast.

I couldn't even touch my camera with out getting food on it.

He was falling asleep while having a bottle then Gramma stopped by.

He had huge grins for her and had to get a hug.

We visited for a few minutes until Gramma had to go pick up Jordan.

We finished your bottle and then you were ready to play again.

The next ones I can't look at without smiling!

I let you play for a while until you started showing signs of being ready for a nap.

While you napped I made banana bread and muffins.

You woke up just in time for daddy to pick you up.

Thank you for spending the day with me!

I have been looking forward to it all week!

Just remember who you cool Auntie is and you can come hang out anytime!

Love you little buddy!

Last day of school

and

Josh's works Summer Regional in Cle Elum!

Every weekend is already scheduled with something!

Now you have an idea on what you will be reading 

and seeing a ton of pictures about in the coming weeks!

It is the 1st of the month today!

Normally this is the day I do a day in life of us post with a at least a 100 pictures.

But I blew it today and totally forgot until now actually.

Lucky for you I did take my camera on a bike ride with the kids this evening.

Josh was working late and I asked the kids during dinner if they wanted to go on a bike ride.

They were super excited and wanted to go right away.

As we were headed toward Bender I remember my nephews had baseball games.

We rode around the fields a few times looking for them but didn't see them.

Michelle wanted to go home so I let her.

Jordan wanted to keep riding so he could show me some dirt hill which

I had no idea what he was talking about.

So off we went. 

He found the hill which is actually a dirt path.

He wanted to ride across it.

He got stuck at the end and was way over it.

We continued on to the City Park.

We had the whole entire place to ourselves.

He asked me to dare him to go down through the tires.

So I did.

Then he didn't want to so I told him I would do it!

He thought that was funny.

I did it....well halfway down.

Then he told me to come back up.

  

 After the tire swing he was ready to head back.

The trip back is always much longer then getting there.

We spotted my brother Joel when passing back through Bender.

We stopped and watched Eli for a bit.

Then headed over to Josiah's game that was going on at the same time.

We stayed and watched his turn at bat.

Then headed home.

It was nice to get out and do something in the evening 

besides plopping on the couch or cleaning up dinner.
