Playing at the playground

Here's John posing all studly for the camera....good thing he has a muscle shirt on so all those muscles can be shown off! :)
Enjoying daddy's water bottle...he LOVES to drink out of these!

Here's a picture of the infamous "fruit stick." Cliff Bar makes these kid fruit sticks that John just adores. It's his favorite snack and if he sees one in his bag he'll repeatedly say "fruit stick" until he has one. :)

Now that's some fruit stick pride!

John's cute monkey hat. :)

I think the water hose won!

Drying off with daddy. My sweet boys!!

More fun in the water!!

Water fun!!

Well, we have the new exciting toy of the century...dum dum dum dum (that's supposed to be a drumroll :))....it's a water hose!! You see, after Barry was done planting his new herbs, he needed to water them. John got so tickled by the water coming out of the hose, that Barry started sprinkling him with water. I think these photos are priceless...his excitement is so pure and joyous! When was the last time any of us has just let loose and enjoyed ourselves like that?? :)

Planting with Daddy

We recently bought some herbs to plant in pots in the backyard...Barry likes to cook with fresh herbs so we planted some basil and rosemary. John thought he would be very helpful in planting with daddy, he was VERY excited to have permission to play in dirt! LOL!

The Bubbles King!

A couple of weekends ago, we spent some time outside just playing around with John. One thing he REALLY enjoys is bubbles. He has this huge wand that you dip in bubbles that he loves playing with....I took a few pictures capturing this treasured moment. The second one looks like he's a King holding his sceptre. So funny!

It's just a hat...not a dunce hat!

So, when we picked John up from church last weekend, they had this huge silver thing in his bag that he had received from class. Well, when John saw his bag he starting yelling out "hat mommy!" I pulled it out of the bag and found this lovely silver hat...more like a dunce hat!! He wanted to wear it so badly, so I proceeded to put it on his head and let him run around. I thought it was quite funny and adorable, but I started to wonder if he was the only one with the "special" hat....hmmmm...was he wearing the "special" hat in the corner of the room??? I was then relieved to see that other children had the same hat, but they weren't quite as enthused as my boy on wearing them. Oh well...if you're going to wear a hat like that, you should go all out and enjoy it! Barry of course wondered why he got the silver hat instead of gold....gotta love my athletic hubby! :)
