4th of July!

Not only is the 4th of July a fun-filled family day, it's Kaylin's birthday as well! This year we went to downtown Atlanta to watch Grandpa Sharp run in the big Peachtree race!
looking for Grandpa...

Enjoying Kaylin's birthday cake!

Grandpa got a special present for Ethan too! Do you even need to ask if he loved it??
Getting ready for fireworks back in Peachtree City with Grandma Clarke and Paka. Boy, were these kids tired!

Here's daddy reading to Ethan. He has 3 favorite books. A construction book, Transformers, and Brown Bear. So dad is perfect for reading those!

Playing-or should I say digging in the back yard with Kaylin and Savannah.

Taking a dip in Grandma Sharp's tub! Look at all those bubble! She turns the jets on and bubbles keep multiplying!

Little Gym

We enrolled our active toddler in a mommy and me class at Little Gym. His class is called Big Beasts. He loves his teacher! They are pretty relaxed but try to encourage them to stick with the class. He loved doing everything first or be the teacher's helper. Then of course, he'd run a muck...

I'm a cowboy baby!

Playing "dress up"
But of course, it involves his trucks and cars...

all lined up in a row...

DADDY!

There's always time to wrestle. Ethan has this giggle...you just touch him and he's gone into laughing hysterically.

At Daddy's shop, "helping".

I love Savannah!!! and motorcycles...

Here's Ethan's favorite little girlfriend. They wanted to sit on "daddy's bike".
Cute little bub. This is his favorite spot.
Savannah and Ethan at the pool looking so cool.
Great big hugs.

And a little smooch too!

Lake Wedowee

We went to Lake Wedowee for Memorial Day. It's a tradition. The kids love it, especially Ethan. He loves being on the boat--or where ever daddy is!
We took them tubing this time. He did pretty good! But after the ride he was ready to get off.
He's pretty stranger shy still, so with other people around, he's glued to mom or dad...
or Grandma...she loves laying with him when he falls asleep.
One cheesy boy!

One cute kid

Ethan is the sweetest, fun boy. He loves the camera too. Every time I get it out, he pulls the cutest smiles.
Here's Ethan showing me how he jumps so high!
Out by daddy's truck...another love.

Shiner

I was packing up the truck and the kids wanted to hop in while I finished packing. I was bringing a load out and BAM! Ethan toppled head first out of the truck! Got this pretty shiner.
He can't say "truck" yet so at church when people asked what happened, he said, "Daddy" and pointed to his eye. He was really trying to say "daddy's truck" but we didn't hear the end of it!

Ethan is TWO!

Ethan devouring his cake. I guess that's what a two year old boy does...

Presents were awesome. This one is from Melanie, an old World War II plane.

Playing the playground. What a silly face.

Aunt Angie came!

And of course Grandma. She bought him the Train Set. He LOVES it!

Waddle waddle

Walking with his shirt over his knees...one of his daddy's favorite pastimes...

Superman on his bike on a chilly day

Carrying his precious toys wherever he goes...

Christmas Day!

My new bike!!

Unwrapping presents!

So much to do, so little time...

Before church, cute kid.
