Hot Summer Days


Well it's officially summer and we're feeling the heat! We had a great June with Fathers Day celebrations and Kathy and Michaels visit (Jasons NY parents). The boys just revel in the attention and all the noise in the house :) We ate out lots and the adults even took in a movie night! Tucker loves how loud Grandpa Bear can be and Wyatt loves having KK make up stories before bedtime and reading all his new books she buys him. And we all love how silly we can be together. This picture is in our front yard. I had just scraped Wyatt with my ring (well, 5 carats is a lot to carry around..hahah) and GPB and KK were trying desperately to get Tucker to smile for a photo..just one buddy.. PLEASE!!! Oh well, it was a funny photo anyway.



Fathers Day occurred during their visit. Wy, Grandpa and Daddy went to Home Depot for some TOOL TIME. They had a special project you could do with kids. Wyatt and GPB worked hard on what would become a leaf press. We have no idea what to do with it now that it's done..but MAN they did a great job :)

On Sunday Jasons sister and her family came to visit as well as my Dad. We had a great cookout with lots of good food and the weather was great. We sat under the trees and watched the kids play in the pool. Below Tucker is shaking his head like a little puppy trying to shake off the water. He loves the water and had a blast trying to copy Wyatt diving "under" the water. Dad was nice enough to let Tucker lead him around while we were busy setting up lunch. Tucker loves our yard and being outside in general. His favorite place in the house are the windows. He will run behind the chairs to look outside and he gets super excited when he sees the birds, squirrels and bunnies that are always around.





















Wyatt got his first official bike while they were visiting. He is trying hard to get used to pedaling. he thinks it's really a lot of work. I'm sure as he gets older the peer pressure of his other friends riding will get the best of him and encourage him to just do it! It is a spiderman bike after all...
Earlier in the month we went to the annual IAC picnic. It was a super hot day but we still had lots of fun. Wyatts birthmom and her 3 boys came. Wyatt always has lots of fun with them. They all enjoyed the magician that came. He is so wonderful with the kids..and he does this for free for the IAC! We love Happy Dan the Magic Man! Below is a picture of Tucker and Wyatt on the right and his birthmoms 2 older boys on the far left. They had a blast. It was great to see her and spend some time together. This was our 4th IAC picnic..time has flown since our adoption journey began...
