teeter totter bliss

Trevor and Joel have been greatly enjoying their newest addition to their backyard: a Gym Dandy Teeter Totter. The helmets are remnants from the bike ride -- not because they fly off the teeter totter! Trevor likes to go "high" and "fast." We get quite the leg and arm work-out accomodating such requests. Check out the video of the boys riding the teeter totter: http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit2?ns=1&video_id=6tA09LYLJFo&next=%2Fmy_videos2%3Fpi%3D0%26ps%3D20%26sf%3Dadded%26sa%3D0%26sq%3D%26dm%3D1

safety first

The boys are becoming avid bikers riding both the tricycle and the inside the bike buggy. Trevor loves his helmet and would wear it indoors and out on the town if we would let him. Joel is getting more used to his -- it really makes him look like a lollipop with his skinny body :)

mr. clean

Trevor thoroughly enjoys cleaning. I have to clean very quietly while he is napping -- if hears me, he will wake up to help. One of the ways he "helps" is running the dust buster. I think the hat and sunglasses really complete the look.

July 4th

Trevor went to his friend Evie's b-day party on the 4th of July. He gave her the princess dress featured in the picture. He also ate princess cake, broke a princess pinata, and watched a small scaled fireworks display (the regular fireworks are postponed on account of the Mississippi flooding).

arts faire

I participated in a local arts faire and the boys came often to visit and see the art. Joel enjoyed riding in the kiddie backpack. Trevor was all hands in my booth and wanted several business cards as well as labels that accompany the art.
