After our depressing and exhausting June, things are starting to look up. Summer is our busy time no matter what, plus Cody here by himself has just made it that much harder. We have settled in quite nicely though, considering. We have a new norm and a new routine and it fits. Cody has finally realized he can't work 7-10 everyday and not having a break. He has started coming in a few hours during the day, when its the hottest to hang out with us or we go to the water park:) or taking time for himself.
Jones has had a few special days too:) His first bite of ice cream was for breakfast, he was in love!
It has been so hot that everyday involves water..........
We have an awesome water park and it's so nice for young kids too!
The Carter clan came down for a visit! We so enjoyed their visit and it was terrible short! Jones walks around saying Eyi for Eli all day long!
Our water park has a huge area for little toddlers and it's only about ankle to shin deep. Jones does his best in water up to his neck with no floaty. I bought him an arm thingy floaty and he hates the restrictions. So I decided to just let him go and see what he does. He is a natural and goes everywhere!
While the Carter's were here the boys went to play golf while the boys napped. After naps we loaded up and joined in. Jones loves golf!
Every night after dinner, before we start our afternoon chores of checking the deer, filling waters, feeling feed buckets and bottle feeding babies, Jones gets a quick dip in his mini pool. When he is done we clean it out, dry it off and bring it in....HOURS of entertainment! He snacks in his pool, he races cars in his pool, and just about everything he has in the house ends up in his pool sometime throughout the day. Best $8.00 spent!
