Crumbs.

I just swept the floor...

Would you take the cracker away?
:)

Splash Park!!!

We have a free splash park! It is great, just show up and splash your little heart out.  I think we will be spending some hot mornings there!

Hutchinson taking it all in.

Finnean wondering if he wants to get in or not.  It took him about 45 minutes and then he was a splashing fool!!  Hutchinson on the other hand, as soon as I set him down he was in the water!

Love this boy!!

Hutch and Dad.

Hutchinson loves his Daddy.  He actually said Da-da for real, yesterday!! He always has a smile for Michael and loves when he plays the guitar!!  They are pretty darn sweet together.  I love how you can't see Hutchinson smiling but you know he is happy because his eyes are so bright!

Date Night!

The first weekend in June, Michael asked me on a date to the Capitol Theater opening in Burlington.  It was a really fun time.  We got to tour a fancy schmancy old building turned amazing living space, then did dinner with a river view before hitting the opening.  It was so fun!  We doubled with Jim and Marcia and met up with some other Main Streeters! 

Celebrating Father's Day (a bit early!)

A month or so ago we were in Bloomfield and had a chance to celebrate Father's Day with Grandpa Stevie and Poppa!  It was a fun filled Saturday and I know Finnean had a great time!!!

Grandpa Stevie showing Finnean how to cast and catch a fish!!

He got the hang of it right away and before we knew it...

Finnean hooked and reeled in a big one!!

WOW!! 

Then he got a tiny little guy that probably could have been bait :)

He was one happy guy!! Finnean and Grandpa Stevie had so much fun and so did I :)  My dad and I used to go fishing all the time when I was little, so it was awesome to share that with Finnean.  He even got to ride in the back of the truck AND we went fishing by a corn field...so cool!

He looks frustrated?!
Michael and Richard went golfing and Finnean joined in for a little putting practice and joyriding in the golf cart!

Check out his tongue...so funny!

Hmm....

Oh, of course...rock and roll faces!!

Finnean in action.

Finnean had a blast...i think the big boys did too!!

Again...not serious for too long :)

Randomness...

Just a few random thoughts about what is going on in our little family...

• Hutchinson is getting THREE teeth in at once! He isn't doing too bad at all.
• I started watching a friend's two babes for two hours twice a week!
• We are superheros.  As if you didn't already know that!  Hutchinson is Flash Gordon.  Finnean is Spiderman.  I am Batman.  All the time.  Finnean refers to us as our superhero name.  Michael and Jerry are not as consistent but they rotate between Green Lantern and Captain America.  Finnean will say things like, "Thanks for getting me some breakfast, Captain America."  It is hilarious and we really don't know where he gets it...his underwear are superheros I guess??
• If we are not superheros we are some sort of animal.  I am usually the Mommy puppy, tiger, lion, kangaroo etc and Finnean is the Big Boy puppy or whatever animal he decides that day and Hutchinson is the Baby puppy etc.  Jerry is usually just Jerry, well-because he is already an animal!  We spent a lot of our day pretending. 
• Hutchinson LOVES to drive trucks and can make truck sounds now :)
• The boys enjoy going to the zoo, thankful for our membership! We recently found out that Mondays you get to ride the train for FREE...what?!  Yes, it is awesome. 
• We now have a sandbox!! Thanks Sadlers!!  Finnean would spend hours in it if he could.
• I am running a 5K on Saturday!!!  Send up a prayer for me around 8-835:)
• Hutchinson is cruising around furniture and pulls up on EVERYTHING! He is quite the little explorer. 
• Some of my dear friends are moving and some have moved recently, so we are in a friend transition:(
• Michael is doing well in his new job and has also started running!!! 
• We have been struggling with getting both boys to nap in the afternoon in the same room.  Sleeping by your brother is just too much fun.  Yesterday I napped Finnean in our room.  It worked great. BUT he told Michael last night that "That (our bedroom) is his room too, we have to share."  GREAT!  I have gone 3 1/2 years of him not being in our bed and one time, he thinks it is his bed!!  Only for naps though:)  Hopefully my little plan doesn't back fire on me!
• Hutchinson loves to dance, dance and dance some more.  He started dancing while standing up...soooo cute!
• Finnean loves to sing...so they are a good pair.  Finnean continues to love music and the Foo Fighters.  Yesterday we were in the car and he says, "this is the Foo Fighters" I said, "I don't know buddy..."  We listened a little more and I recognized the song and I said "O yes, it is!"  He said "See, I told you!!"  Whew...he has some sass in his pants sometimes...
• Finnean is doing really well playing with other friends and doing a great job of "being happy" as he calls it. 
• Hutchinson is a chatty little fellow.
• We have our fair share of tantrums but nothing to outrageous.  It must be tough being 3 1/2!! 
• Finnean melted my heart today by saying "Did Dad go to work?" Yes-he did.  "Are you going to stay with me? ?  Yes buddy, I am.  "YAHHHHHH!!!!! We are going to have a Mommy Day!!"  Love that little boy!!  He is just as excited as I am to stay home together :)   

Well...that is just a few of things that are going on in our neck of the woods.  I hope to get some pictures up soon!!
