Popsicle

The childhood jingle from the ice cream truck caught our ear tonight. We HAD to get a popsicle. Gavin chose a Sponge Bob popsicle, and got completely messy. But it was sooo good.

Summer Veggies

I went out to water the vegetables and flowers last night and spotted something peeking out at me...

A cucumber!

I didn't even know there was one growing already

- it must have been hidden all this time under the leaves!

We also have some banana peppers that

are just about ready to be picked.

Our squash and zucchini have lots of blooms

but haven't produced anything yet.

Potty Time

Last week and this week, we have been working on our potty skills. Gavin has been quite successful in using the potty. I've taught him how to stand up to go "like big boys do it". He has been really good at telling me when he has to go, but we're still not quite to the big boy underwear yet.

I am so proud of my little buddy!

Pool Pics

Just 2 pool pictures to share:

My boys playing

I told Gavin he couldn't pee in the pool or it would mess it up, and we wouldn't be able to swim in it anymore. So, here is a potty training photo from the pool. He got out, took his swim trunks off, and peed in the grass. It's a start!

An Old Woman

Happy Birthday, Mom.

We love you.

A Little Piece of Beauty

I couldn't help but to take a picture of these flowers from Mom's garden.

It's almost like the Garden of Eden.

The End

Good-bye old friend.

Now, a new job awaits...
