My boys

Summer has just begun and we are already enjoying it! The weather has been overall pretty good, so as usual, most days are spent outside. We have been trying out many different parks this year, but if we don't get to a park, this is what else we do! We are usually playing trucks, riding bikes/trikes, or playing w/ our push toys in our driveway, or we can be seen in our backyard playing softball, kickball or chasing Haven! Oh, and I guess the normal bubbles on our deck and chasing the birds that come to our bird feeder (thanks boys!).

A lot of times if the boys want to play out back, they are out there by themselves since I can see them from multiple windows and since we don't have many bugs out here, the doors are kept wide open for me to hear them. Well, the boys have now found a new activity, which is picking mommy's flowers! I have a nice flower bed that I have planted flowers and a few plants this year. The boys know that they are suppose to stay out of there, but I guess that didn't stop them this time. They brought me some of my pretty marigolds that had just started blooming. After laughing/scolding them, Silas says, "Don't worry mommy, they'll grow back." I guess I'm just thankful they picked mine and not my neighbors who spends far more time on hers.

Anyways, other than that, Silas and Nathan have a love/hate relationship. They are each others best friend, but boy can they fight! There have already been some good wrestling matches. However, if one is gone, the other one doesn't know what to do! Kurt took Silas to a baseball game the other night, and Nathan cried and all he could say was "bubba, bubba", it broke his heart to go to bed w/o Silas there. All this to say, I'm so glad they have each other to play with. Somedays I can just sit back and watch them play and be thankful they have there very own playmate in their house!

Nathan with my flowers. Doesn't he look so innocent?

Here they are holding my beautiful flowers.

Here's my flower bed after the boys got to it. Not many flowers left!


Wrestling as usual. Don't be deceived....Silas is not always on top!

I thought this was such a good picture. Here they are just hanging out as buddies. After they were sitting in this same position for awhile I finally asked what they were doing. There was a spider web that they were watching and telling each other about. It was really cute listening to them explain it!
