Aquarium

We went to Aquarium!  Luke was enthralled!  He loved looking at the animals and asking questions!  Look up in the tree!

Huge fish!  I have no clue what it was!

Diver in the tank saying hi, Cole was a bit freaked out by this guy!

A huge Eel!

Charleston has the deepest Aquarium in North America!

Cole like these guys!

But was a little mad that he had to wait for his brother!

He didn't make a sound, would just lay on the ground when I told him he had to wait for Luke :0)

Lobsters!

I tried to post these the other day but my computer froze up...  We had a lot of fun!

Swimming and Riding

Luke is officially swimming like a champ!  We are so proud of him!  He loves the water and even dives in for his dive sticks! 

Cole got a new four wheeler that is closer to his size!  He loves it and is already doing tricks, like standing up on the seat and riding, I'll try to get a video of that to post soon!

Another video!

Luke and his buddy Madden ride up and down the cul-de-sac on their power wheels almost everyday!  Cole usually rides on his tricycle but the other day decided he wanted to drive :0)  The next video I put up will be of Luke :0)

Beach!

We went to the beach today and it was a lot of fun, due in large part to all the extra pairs of hands we had to help with the boys.  Our friends Robbie and Lauren are vacationing at Folly Beach and we drove down to spend the afternoon with them and their family!  Everyone was such a huge help and I actually enjoyed the beach!   Both Luke and Cole LOVE the beach and Cole is completely fearless as always.  He was laying down in the water, both on his back and his belly and must have had his face get hit with water a half a dozen times.  Luke got to play baseball, soccer, and search for crabs!  We had a blast!

Love that sly little grin

Luke and Cole's new buddies

Oh boy!

Phone, Phone, Phone (Yes that is my 4th phone in a year and a half, and oh yea, it's broken too!

I miss this girl soooo much!

Robbie and Mr. Larry were the best building castles!

Cole was a good little helper too!

Beach baseball, soo fun!

Playing in the shade

Sufer Dude!

Video

I wanted to try and post a video, I thought this was cute :0)  Prior to the recoding Cole was cracking up laughing as he twirled around ;0)

Playground Fun

Luke asked to go to the neighborhood playground this morning.  We normally walk, but I opted to drive since just taking my trash to the can had me sweating.  We were there for about 30 minutes, Cole literally rolled down the swirly slide, hitting his head, and then fell backwards off a ledge and hit his head (he also fell off a chair after we got home, luckily I don't think he hit his head).  Luke spent most of the time on the swings and after about 25 minutes declared "mom, we shouldn't come to the playground anymore, it's way to hot!"  I totally agree and we decided we will stick to the pool until the Fall!

the ledge where Cole fell backwards





"Head" "Head"... yes Cole you hurt your head

New Pictures

Luke found a frog in one of his buckets

Cole thought it was cool too

The poor frog kept trying to hop away and hide, Luke wanted to keep him as a pet

Cole was trying to help daddy out

Early morning milk and cartoons

Happy Boy!
