Sprinkler & Pool Fun!

Connor isn't the only one who's been having fun in the water this summer. Matthew enjoys jumping into the pool & running through the sprinkler. And he just started swimming lessons at the city pool this week.

Connor In His Lawn Chair

This is such a cute picture of Connor ~ I just HAD to share. :)

Apple Tree

Connor is standing next to the apple tree we planted last spring. Both Connor & the tree have grown a lot in the past year. :)

A Boy & His...FROG?

Connor has a great time playing with the bath toys in the pool. On this sunny day in mid-June, he was having fun squirting himself & Mommy with a toy frog. I just love his smiles in these pictures. :)

Connor's 1st "Swim"

May 23, 2010 - Connor's 1st time in the kiddie pool in the backyard. This kid loves the pool, but absolutely hates baths - go figure. :)

Tree Planting Time!

We planted 2 new trees in our front yard on May 1st - an autumn blaze maple & a crabapple. We needed to replace the red maple & bushes that we took out last fall. Uncle Mark was kind enough to let us borrow his pickup for hauling the trees home from the nursery. We are looking forward to watching the new trees grow for many years to come.

Big Boy Bed!

We converted Connor's crib into a toddler bed at the end of April. As you can tell by the pictures, this turned into a family event! With as much as Connor likes to climb, we're quite surprised that he didn't start climbing on his crib until April. Now he's enjoying his new-found freedom, sometimes a little too much. My baby is growing up!
