Outside is where its at (and by it I mean me and my brothers!)

We spend as much time as possible in the backyard and outside!  
 We do silly things back there...


 We pretend to drive a car...
 We ride bike around campus...when we need a break from our yard.
 We go to Daddy's softball games sometimes.
  We love it when Mommy finds worms in the garden!


 Playing is awesome!

 We even get haircuts outside!
If we had our way, we would never come in...ok maybe sometimes.

Jonah horse

I go to horse therapy almost every week but this time, Mommy came and took pictures.
















Here I am riding Jonah (that's my horse friend's name) reaching up to the toys above. 
Simon had a good time while I was riding.
 
So did Jonah.  He got to ride a horse too!
 
Mommy even let Simon try riding.
 
At the end of riding time, I sing a song and ride my little sick horse.  It is a lot of fun!

One big week

As Uncle Daniel says, "Go big or go home."  To be fair, he is normally talking about food but the sentiment is still true.  Here is one week of our summer:
On Wednesday, our local library brought animals from the Alligator farm to the park and we got to touch them.  Here is Jonah, not touching an alligator.
 And not touching a tortoise...
 Then we did some edging work in our backyard.  Mommy said Jonah did most of the work.
 We found some worms and inspected them.
 We went to New Mexico to go to Mommy's bank.  We really loved this bench/ swing! 

 On the way home, Mommy made us pose in front of this yellow sign...we still don't know why.


 Then when we got home from New Mexico, there were lots of tractors on campus.


On Friday night, we walked to the Park for the annual Summerfest and on the way home saw this beaver.  We watched it and a muskrat for a long time.

 Here we are looking at it...
 Look Jonah, see it! 
 Simon was not as amused as I was...
It was a good week!  I hope we have many more this summer!

Simon's birthday...and a crab!

Simon turned one at the end of May and there was much celebrating!
Simon had a strawberry birthday cake.  Here he is...encountering it.




And here he is after the sugar high wore off...
He also got fun presents.  We helped him open them.
 



















Our Indiana family sent Simon an awesome sandbox...it's shaped like a crab!  We have so much fun in it but Mom and Dad say it will be even more fun when we add the sand.  Who needs sand when you have great brothers like I do?


Happy 1st birthday, Simon!

Just because

Here are a montage of pictures of us...just because our Mommy and Daddy say we are cute.  Enjoy.






























































Simon tried to take his shirt off at nap time.
 












Jonah likes to practice his swing about 75% of the time.


























Jonah with his well-rounded breakfast.













I love my new drill and goggles (I call them eyes).

















































Jonah riding his "motorcycle" with his "helmet" on.

















Here we are taking a walk with Daddy.













Simon tries to steal toys from Shep sometimes.

































See how cute we are?
