Will Ferrel or Josh Hamilton?

Carter has some crazy hair and we are not sure where it came from. The texture is SO course almost like African Americans and is ringlet tight curls. We wanted to try and grow it out a little to see what it would do. He got hot and we couldn't control the fro in the humidity so it didn't last too long. Trav thought he looked like a baby Will Ferrel and I thought he looked like Josh Hamilton. There is NO controlling it! Maybe when we are back in the hospital we will give it a go again. For now we will keep Buzzing it every other week, because it grows SO fast!

Just In Case

Just in case you needed proof of what we do almost every day. After seeing this pic Boston said "Mom how did I turn black?" The kid has some GOOD color!

He is a Fish!

Back in July Boston has his first ever swimming lesson's. He has never had ANY fear of the water so I never felt like he needed them. Although this summer I really wanted him to learn to swim. He was swimming good before swimming lessons, but now he has literally turned into a fish.

The only hang up he had a swimming lesson's was doing the treasure dive to the bottom of the pool. Too bad for him, because these lessons were intense and the teachers would not take no for an answer. If someone didn't want to jump off the diving board they would just push them in and if they didn't want to do the treasure dive they would grab them and dive down with them. Seriously it was nuts, but everyone in the class left swimming great! Of course two days after swim lessons treasure diving is his favorite thing to do. We no spend most of our time at the pool throwing a torpedo to the deep end so he can dive for it. 

After the first day his teacher suggested that he go to the 5-6 year old class so he could be challenged more and I'm so glad we did it. Fast forward to the Olympics and this boy was obsessed with the Swimming events. Bonus for me! We would head out to the pool in the afternoon and all the sudden he is doing the backstroke and attempting back flips off the side of the pool. Summer 2012 will definitely go down and the summer he turned into a fish.

Waters Creek

I'm not sure why, but Boston loves going to Waters Creek. Lucky for him it is just down the street so we happen to end up there quite a bit. I don't mind peeking in Anthropologie and and lusting after everything in that store. Why do I torture myself. Anyways nights like this are some of my favorites with my family.

Summer

Since it's so blasted hot and humid you will find us at one of two places. In our house or in the water. 

 Playing in the back yard and giving himself a cast on his "hurt" foot. He made it out of a paper towel and scotch tape. 

 Playing with the Hunters at the "beach".

 Such nasty water and he was loving it!

4th of July

We had a great VERY hot 4th of July! We started the day at the McKinney parade with my Mom, Kyle, and the Komenda's and the Hunter's. I don't know what it is, but I have to go to a parade on the 4th. 

Cute daddy and Carter

Waiting for them to throw candy. They never did.

 We are one hot frizzy haired family.

 Bobo and his "girls" as he calls them.

 Snow Cone after the parade tradition. 

 Grandma D. and here chunk

 After the parade we came home went swimming. The boys are crazy about the pool! Poor Carter wants so bad to put his face in the water and swim like Boston. It's a good thing he can handle his trach being submerged in the water, because no matter how hard we try to keep it out he finds a way. 

 After a yummy BBQ we went over the watch the fireworks. The sprinklers came on and left us and the rest of the hundreds of people there for that matter soaked. We weren't going to let that get us down, but changing the location of the fireworks sure did. We had a less than stellar view through a couple of huge trees. Definitely not worth keeping the boys up so late. O well Boston enjoyed a plethora of glow stick. Carter, well he didn't really enjoy any of it.
