Our Little Crawler

 

 

Doing a little reading

 So I caught Judson the other day just sitting so nicely and "reading" through all his magazines!! He get one every month in the mail and really enjoys them when they come, but it was so great to see him looking back through them!!

It is not very often I find him sitting so calmly for such a long span of time! :) 

It was really nice!!!

Little People Land

 "Little People Land" this is what my sister would call her living room when her boys would get out and play with all the Little People.  Well they still have more than we do, but we are catching up fast and when the boys play with them the room is taken over!

 But it is so so nice to have something that the boys can both play with.  Judson can be creative and actually play with them and there are no pieces to small for Lawson!! And Lawson thinks he is so big playing with the same thing as his brother.

POOL TIME!!!

 We were invited to go to the pool with friends after nap time one day.  It was our first time to be at the actually pool this summer!

 It was so so much fun!! And makes me think that next year maybe we need a pool pass!! Or atleast the punch card!

 Both boys had a great time cooling off in the water.  This pool is zero entry so that is so great for Lawson and makes it more relaxed for me too!

 There is a small slide that the kids can go down by themselves.  Judson LOVED it.  He would slide down run around and do it all again as Lawson and I sat, splashed and watched him.

 This is Judson and his buddy James going down

There are also two larger slides that Judson could go down as long as he was with me.  My friend Jessica watch Lawson so I could take him one time.  But one time was not enough.  Judson was trying to figure out ways that we could just keep going and going!  I told him that next time we would bring dad!! :)

Once we were done playing in the water we went out to the parking lot found a shaded spot and had a picnic.  It was a great way to spend some of our time while Nate was out of town!

Me and my boys!!

 Even though there are days that I am so worn out, and nights that I wish I could sleep through the noises they make or Judson needing to get up to go to the bath room, I am so so blessed to have these two boys in my life and to be able to stay home with them!!

 After we took pictures of the three of us Judson wanted to try to take some... so here they are!

The mess that is my house, now that I have a very active almost 9 month old!

Parade

 The other weekend we went to a parade here in Ankeny.  It was not the greatest parade, but the boys still enjoyed it and it was great to spend some time as a family!! 

This first picture is of the cheerleaders.  A girl from our youth group and who we use as our babysitter is the one in front.  It was hard to get a good shot because she was on the other side of the street from us. 

 Judson getting a little better view of what was going on.

 Nate is such a great dad.  He brought a chair to sit in, but instead sat on the ground so that he and Judson could be closer to the action.

 It was a pretty hot day, and these guys had to be be so hot in their head to toe gold spandex!

 This was the float that our church made. 

 Again our church float

 More of the people that walked with and handed out candy

Cute picture of Nate and Judson taking some pictures!

The kids is EVERYWHERE!!

 Now that Lawson is crawling you never know where you are going to find him, or what you are going to find him in/with!
