Swimming in the park in the Pearl District

On Thursday we headed over to the Farmer's Market in the Pearl Distruct. Close by was a water park and the boys just couldn't resist. What a neat idea in the middle of the city. Dalton and Ellie, Lisa's niece

Our trip to Portland

Boys with their Nana Mt. Tabor Park was a beautiful park with views of the city in the background. The weather was perfect. Trenton had an ear infection and his balance was completly off. On our walk, he fell and skint his knee. Dalton had to check out is boo boo.

Dalton's first pedicure!

Dalton went with his Nana to get a pedicure for our trip to Portland. He was a little apprehensive about getting his cuticles cut but loved soaking his feet. He said he really liked it and wants to go back. Daddy said he REALLY needs some MAN time. I think women everywhere will be so proud of Dalton for being a man that takes care of himself.

Happy 7th Birthday, Caimen!

My baby is 7 years old. I can't believe it's been that long since we moved to England and a year later picked out this beautiful dog. He is a healthy seven with a lot of energy. He loves to go on walks, rides, and play ball. For his birthday he got a pigs ear, a new sqeaky bone, dog shaped treats, and a squeaky tennis ball. He also got a crate for his travels to Korea.

Boys and their remote control toys!

The boys both have remote control trucks and they love to play with them.

Shoppin At Stride Rite! (This one's for you, Daddy!)

If I have not said so before, now is the time to say it. Dalton has been around women a little too much. He is in need of some manly time. He LOVES shopping, trying on bras, shirst, skirts, shoes, etc... Well, I wanted to get the boys' feet measured and find some new shoes before we head to Korea. We were at the mall and the boys were in great moods. As you can see, they both had tons of fun. Trenton was pulling shoes of the rack and trying anything on he could get his foot into. Dalton was particularly fond of these darling "girly" shoes that he "really wanted to take home." It was very comical and we made it out of the store without the "favorite" shoes. Dalton is wearing a size 9 1/2m and Trentonis a whopping 6 1/2w.

Some outdoor fun!

As hot as it has been, it's always fun to stip down and get some good sprinkler and pool time in. No matter ehat they are wearing, when the sprinklers come on, Trenton is in the water. On this particular day, Robert, the handy man was messing with the sprinkler system. Trenton had to join in the fun. Before long, he was soaked, but having so much fun...

Sunday, I was getting things ready for the garage sale and the boys put the slide in the pool. Add a little H2O and you have instant fun! I got work done and the boys had a blast.

Dina won't you BLOW!

On August 4, we took a ride on The Huntsville Express. The boys were excited about riding on a train and blowing the horn with the conductor. It wa a fun morning.
