When playing catch up on my blog, I am looking back at the amount of photos I have taken and I realize, "Dang, I take a lot of photos that have nothing to do with each other!!!" So, I guess it is only fitting to compile them all into one blog post, so that you see that we don't only do HUGE trips or birthdays. We do the pretty normal everyday activities that most people do... the park, the zoo, swimming, Children's Museum, etc.The above picture is use just watching cartoons in the morning. Jacob has been really into Miles, PAW patrol, and of course Peppa. Whereas Brayden could really care less about TV; the most he'll watch is some Sesame Street. And even then he just yells ELMO at the screen the whole time.
We have had many days of just visiting with our favorite people. My dad comes up a lot, so the boys absolutely love that!! Also Deb and Dayton moved up here, so we get to see them a lot more. As Jacob will tell you, "My Noni's new house is so close we can see her everyday!" That will be another blog for another day, but their house is amazing and we LOVE hanging out there!!
The Children's Museum has become a hit again, now that Brayden is older. They love going!! Brayden doesn't quite have the painting down, he really likes to be an abstract painter and paints his hands and clothes mostly. However, it is a great place for the boys to spend energy on really hot days!
Of course there has been loads of trips to the park!! We have about 5 different parks that we go too. Jacob absolutely loves the "Acorn Park" which has a lot of acorns that he can throw into the stream. this summer we hope to discover more parks in our area! Can't wait!!
Brayden has been really into hats lately, which has been so funny to watch. He has this hunter looking hat that he absolutely LOVES to wear!! And he usually pairs it with some Winnie the Pooh slippers and no pants. So it makes for an amazing photo op that we just haven't done yet, so just visualize PLOL! He is just about as cute as you can get!!
So I have to include the Cozy Coop (although this photo is from school). We have some of Noni and Grandpa Dayton's toys at our house, so now we have two cozy coops!! Which the boys have been racing in the backyard. Now Jacob has been watching a show called Blaze and the Monster trucks (or something like that) which teaches him a lot about cars. So the start of races usually begins like this...
J: Mommy you have to say start your engines!
Me: Ok START YOUR ENGINES!!
J: Wait Mommy! I have to put gas into my gas tank and my turbo booster so I can win the race!!
(Grandpa Eddie would be so proud!)
And last but definitely not least... we have made multiple and multiple trips to the ever so famous PANCAKE HOUSE!!! There is a woman there that does balloon animals and both our boys always want swords (boys!!!). We have had some epic sword fights in front of PCH, all while entertaining some very old people! LOL They find these boys to be the cutest things, and I would have to agree. So, some of you may know Brayden and his eating habits, but this kid can put down a a meal... the come eat your food. So, we now order him a whole dutch baby, sausage to split with Jacob, and scrambled eggs when we go to this place. I can't imagine what our grocery bill will be when they are teenagers!! AHHHH!!!!
These are my favorite types of posts!
ReplyDelete1) Brayden is so cute in hats!

3) Did you see there's a Groupon for Pancake House? You guys definitely need it at the rate they eat!!
