Enjoying July!

Doesn't it look like he is enjoying pulling the petals off mommy's flowers!

Two peas in a pod :)

We walked in several parades this month with the "Harp for Sheriff" group

Good Morning! Always wakes up with a smile

Lunch time!

Waiting for mommy to get out of a doctor's appointment hanging with daddy in the car

Daddy found an addition to his wardrobe on this day LOL!

Blake & Reese


Just sitting in daddy's chair with Reese.

She even let him pet her now without getting up and moving as soon as he touches her :)


Daddy sent this picture to mommy at work to show her what was going on...love the updates!


Blake's 1st Fair - Elkhart County

Being the unprepared parents we are at times - we forgot the "good" camera on our outing to the fair and had to resort to cell phone cameras to capture the moment so you will have to pardon the fuzzy and not so focused pictures but it did the job just fine.



On our way home, way past bedtime, but by the look on his face he had a great time!


Always have to have fair food! Sharing some of Grandma Spencer's strawberry smoothie...


...and then some of mommy's favorite and famous strawberry shortcake!


Maybe next year he will enjoy the clowns more and they can make him some balloon art :)


Waiting in our line for rides...


Still patiently waiting...


The goat daddy made mad in the petting zoo.

Some of the animals didn't want to come close enough to touch by he enjoyed watching them.


This little horse bit daddy when he was trying to get it to come close enough for Blake to touch.

Holy cow...or pig daddy - I thought this was a "petting" zoo not a "setting" zoo :)

Fun going round and round up and down!

again...

and again!

Last we hit the BIG slide and mommy went down with B

According to daddy he smiled the whole way down.

Weekend Away in Michigan!

Doug and I were invited for a weekend getaway to the McNaughton lake house in Holland, MI. We had a great time there with Colleen, Nadia, & Tim. We left Blake with his Aunt Tresa until Grandma Spencer came home from work on Friday and then Saturday he went to spend with his Grandma & Grandpa Mullet. His Aunt Tresa got some great pictures of him petting a wild Oriel that she saved after it fell out of its nest. It lives outside but still comes back to get treats and visit.


As you can see the weather didn't completely cooperate with us but we made the best of it...


...they just wore wet suits to go jet sking :)


They looked like they had fun, from my seat just inside the house while I put together a puzzle...and we finished it too, despite the fact it was only 64 degrees this day.


Yep you got it that is us trying to soak up the sun in the cold :)

and we even got the blankets out to take the chill off when the sun was behind the clouds LOL but in our defense that wind off the lake was quite chilly.


And after some late night games a couple of us jumped in the hot tub!


The sunsets were nice and relaxing to take the time to watch.



Just me playing with the color features on the camera :)



We had a wonderful time and hope to do it again sometime!


15 months!


Our little man is just so much fun to take pictures of that we just can't pass up logging another 3 months :) Maybe we will stop at 24 mth LOL



Priceless...


So grown up!



Handsome...



Kisses for mommy!



Perfect!



Charmer!



Serious....ly cute :)

Told you he was fun...haha








Love My FOOD!

Blake enjoys feeding himself these days and I just thought I would share what a fabulous job he does hitting his mouth! He does get plenty on the inside I promise :)


Ravioli

Oatmeal


Oatmeal


Spaghetti :)







Splashing in my Frog!

Cousins Candis & Presley bought Blake his first pool for his birthday and we finally had a nice hot day to try it out.

Such a handsome guy!

When you hook the hose up to it the water squirts out...how fun!

Daddy playing with colors again...


OH Mommy...it might still be a little cold :)
