It's Hot Hot Hot

It's no secret that it's been insanely hot around here lately.  We can't stay couped up in the AC all day, so we have to find some way to enjoy this stinking heat!  So, who needs a pool and fancy water toys when you have a garden hose?!  This has become a nightly tradition at our house lately.  It's too hot during the middle of the day, so after dinner we head outside for some quality family outdoor fun!

Ayson loves to run through the water, drink from the hose and drench himself from head to toe :)
Now that's the face of a happy kiddo!

Everyone keeps saying how much Ayson looks like Aaron, and I've never really been able to see it...until this picture.  Oh my!  A little Aaron Jr.

For as skinny as he is, he sure does have a cute lil' pot belly ;)

Just another good ole hot summer night

Yee-Haw!

Little man is always good for a laugh...see for yourself! He's an "OSU" cowboy in training ;)

I have also added a birthday wishlist page for those of you who have been asking. We can't believe we have an almost two year old!!!! The party is August 6th and invites will be mailed this week:)

The Orneriest Face Around

This has got to be one of our favorite pictures of little dude lately.  It pretty much sums up his personality right now.  He is ornery, ornery, ornery.  He likes to give us this face A LOT, and its only when he doesn't want to do something.  I think he thinks that if he can make us laugh, it just might work...and sometimes, he is absolutely right.

I just love these little frozen moments in time :)

Happy 4th!

We hope you all had a fabulous holiday!  We spent the weekend celebrating with great friends.  The Leigh's, the William's, & Auntie LouLou all came to stay with us.  Lots of fun for everyone...including the kiddos.  We are very close to Lake Ponca, which shoots off their own display, so we got to shoot off our own fireworks, then sit in the front yard and watch PC's display...and with four kids, it was so nice to not have to pack them up and go somewhere just to see the fireworks.  I think the 4th will quickly become a new favorite holiday around here :) 

Ays and two of his bestest buds...Love love love them!  (Of course, our child is the one who won't sit still for the dang picture!)

We spent a lot of time outside letting the boys run out their energy.  Thank goodness for battery operated riding toys :)

Ayson & Gav having a blast

We need to get this boy a cupholder :)

Then it was fireworks time...This just cracks me up!  Don't worry, it was just a smoke bomb & Aaron got there before Ays did.

He was not a huge fan of the sparklers ;)  Other than that though, Ayson LOVED the fireworks.  Everytime one went off, he would clap and say "WOW!"  It was so fun to see the excitement in his eyes.  Another successful 4th in the books!
