Been a while...

So, it's been a while since we last blogged! So summer is here and I think we spend every waking hour outside doing something. The boys must be outside playing in the dirt or riding bikes, or going on walks, etc.. Here's a few pictures of our latest adventures.



Duke Gardens for family fun day!



Just a few geese from the lake. We spent memorial day at the lake for a picnic with Grandma and Nanny!

Tour de Free

So....who doesn't love free things? I certainly do. With my birthday just around the corner, I'm now cashing in on all the Birthday freebees hitting my inbox. I began the Tour de Free yesterday by hitting up Red Robin for my free Birthday burger. It also includes a free sundae for dessert, with chocolate, sprinkles, and whipped cream. You can't beat that deal. I bet they'd throw in some balloons too if you asked.

Today, I went to Cafe Carolina for my free sandwich (with purchase of a drink). I selected the BLT.

Of course, I usually have at least one moocher with me when I'm having lunch. Today, Chandler was in preschool so I only had Brighton. He's generally happy sharing just a couple bites (unless we are talking about dessert) so I gave him some of my sandwich.

I seriously considered buying a Cafe Carolina cupcake. They looked very tasty, but when I finished up my sandwich, the line had grown from like one person, to who knows how many. The line reached all the way from the register to my table.

I decided not to wait and instead continue the Tour de Free with a trip to Baskin Robbins. Here's Brighton posing with my free icecream. I selected Reese's PB cups in a sugar cone. Yum Yum!

So that's all I have for the Tour de Free. Please let me know what other free things I should sign up for so next year I can stretch it to three days!

If it doesn't fit....

Just pile it on top of the loader...

Cruisin...

Here's a video of Chandler quickly learning how to 'cruise' on his bike! Watch him learning how to pick up his feet!

18 Months Old!

 

Ok, so a little late with the 18 month old post, but here it goes. Our little guy is now 18 months old. So here are the obligatory stats:
Weight: 24 lbs 7 oz (30%)
Height: 32 in (50%)
Head: 50 cm (95%)

I chose this picture because it truly does show his personality. This little guy has developed quite a personality. It consists of a very strong sense of humor, and a very strong sense of individuality. He is starting to say many different words/names. Like his brother, he will attempt to say just about anything. He says 'DaDa' really well. :)

Brighton will eat just about anything and all of it. No problems in the appetite arena for him, often eating more than his dad will eat in one meal.

The facial expressions on this child are just amazing, whether it be laughing, frowning, evil eye, squint face, bite face, etc.. He has somehow learned and mastered walking backwards. If you are trying to get him to come to you, he often will start slowly walking backwards and giggling. It's really actually pretty cute when you think about it, but very annoying when you are in a hurry!

So, Dad finally caved in an got an iphone earlier this year. I have yet to do so, but think it's cool that I can capture photos and blog from the phone. So, I intend to blog with more 'action' shots of the boys on our day-to-day adventures.

Hope all is well with everyone!
