Garden Hose and a Tonka Truck

Mid May we caved to the heat and had some fun with the garden hose. Since then, it's been a daily occurrence. The boys are obsessed.

Coen's interests have shifted dramatically from trains to construction vehicles. It's all bulldozers and excavators over here.

 Oh brother...

 Wallace is a good sport....as long as he has that sucker.

He's hooked on those things. Walks around all day with one in his mouth and one in his hand!

 BAHAHA!!

 He looks so grown up here.

 Wait for meeeee!!

Hiding place

Some one, or two, has found his favorite hiding place....

The "Beep"

Coen got a super fun toy from Grammy and Gramps this Christmas. 

 A Jeep.

 Or "Beep" as he affectionately calls it.

 Coen LOVES driving Wallace around.

 He watches out for him and makes sure he doesn't stick his arms out of the doors. Which he always does.

 Apparently it's hilarious when they almost run over me.

  Wallace wants to drive some times.

 Maybe in a year or two, kiddo!

Playpen

October 18

Unpacking in an unfinished house with two littles can be....challenging. Wallace spends a LOT of time in the play pen where I know he is safe. On my back or hip doesn't work right now. Coen has been keeping him company, though.

He plays so sweetly with Wallace. I love watching them together. Already making sweet memories in our new home!

...and the kitchen sink

August 4

I have a love hate relationship with this sink. It's a wonderful, deep sink. I hand washed  dishes for five years in this sink until we got out portable dishwasher. Daniel shaved my legs for me in this sink the day before I had Coen.
I couldn't see or reach them, you see. Plus the barn doesn't have a tub.

Six years, two pregnancies a toddler and no tub.

That's right.

So here are the boys taking their first "bath" together in our kitchen sink.

Their first together and one of their last. Good bye sink!
