30...and Counting

Sunday was our Daddy's birthday, so we decided to put this little tribute (blackmail, call it what you wish) together in honor of his younger years!

Real men wear pink.

To the best Dad ever:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! WE LOVE YOU!!

Passing the time

With the weather cooling down outside we must find new things to occupy our time. Although we have always enjoyed reading, we have been doing a lot more of it since we can't spend our afternoons at the pool.

We get library books and Momma will usually read to us whenever we ask.
Then when Daddy gets home we hit him up to read the same books all over again.
But so far our favorite indoor activity is milk chugging contests!

Jude's first Buzz

No, I didn't get into the liquor cabinet. I was tired of looking like a mop head so I told Daddy it was time for my first buzz cut.

Don't worry, it doesn't really look like I got a buzz cut.
I told him to take just a little off the top.
It was kind of relaxing.
Here is the final product. This was at one of Daddy's college buddies weddings.
And this has nothing to do with my buzz cut, but I couldn't resist throwing in a pic of Dominic getting low on the dance floor.

Parks are so fun!!

We love to go to parks. We could play all day long!

Climbing
Sliding
Crawling
Hanging
Climbing some more. Do we have to go home?

Parade Fun

Jude and Aunt Tracy ready for the parade to start.

Here they come!!!
Mmmm, candy!
"I bet I could ride one of those bikes."
We even got stickers from a clown.

Bad Boys...and our Biker Mama!

We had so much fun at Grandpa and Grandma's.

Bad to the Bone!
Playing in Grandma's fountain.
This thing can entertain for hours.
Here Jude, let's wash your face.
It's so much fun to make a mess!
And here is our bad, biker mama! She really lets loose when Dad isn't around!

When Daddy's away, the boys will play!

Daddy's been away all week and we haven't been keeping him updated like he told us to. Sorry, Dad, but we have been too busy having fun.

What a ham!

Loungin around, missin my Dad!

But then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house. This isn't their house, this is just the awesome castle playground at Island Park in Winfield.
Checkin out the Music Wall.
Do, Re, Mi...
"Come on Dominic, let's climb the cargo net!"
Crawlin through the combine
"So fun!"
These toys are just our size.
And this town is just our size. Sorry Grandma, you are a little too big.
We have been finding plenty to keep us busy.We love to play outside.
And drive the cars.
But it hasn't been ALL fun and games. We do have to do some work too.
But wait, it is fun!

We had to move bricks out of the garden.
"Heavy!"

No time for posing Mom, there is work to be done!
