4th of July

He's shooting Molly

His favorite part I would dare say was the fireworks!  He seemed pretty happy watching. 

First Garden

And I actually have food growing!  Hopefully it keeps happening.

Head Bangin

This is what happens with no carseat!

Scare ya a little bit?  We didn't crash or anything.  He was jumping up and down in my car and hit his head on the windshield but it didn't even phase him.  I said "whoops", and went back to playing!  I guess that's what happens when you get a tough head from banging into things a lot when you're little. 

Franklin Days

This is him pointing at all the tractors coming.  He was pretty excited!

Golfing

Here's the cute little stud showing us how to drive the golf cart!  He loves to "hit the ball".  He's not too bad either.

Molly

Molly and Ronin are Baine's two cousins that he loves asking for them and telling me about them,  He also loves Kade and Matt.  He used to ask every morning for Daddy, Zeus, Grammie, Matt, Ro, Molly, Kade.  I guess when you think you're stuck with me you just start asking for anyone else.  Now we are down to only half of them one day and so on. 

The Boots

Baine LOVES his boots.  'Love' might even be an understatement!  They are the first thing he wants in the morning and the last thing he takes off at night.  He tries to nap in them.  He tries to wear them wherever he goes.  He tries to go to bed in them.  It doesn't matter if it is 100 degrees outside he will wear those dang boots!  Our neighbors just laugh.  They even make comments when I'm able to put other shoes on him. 

I guess these pictures of Brady might be the reason why Baine loves his boots.  :)

Date Night

Yup that's right. The Mr. and Mrs. had a night out on the town. A very much NEEDED night out. We hit up Olive Garden for dinner.....mmmmmm.....a little miniature golfing, and then had to end the night at Wal-Mart for some groceries! Haha! My Mom and Dad watched Baine for me that night and all I can say is thank you very much for doing that! We have made plans a for a couple past weekend nights and something has always come up. I also have a hard time leaving Baine. Not that I think he won't be fine, I KNOW he will be fine. It's just that I can think of a million reasons why I should just stay home and put him to bed then we can have a date night in our own house. I'm glad we actually went out.

I know that picture is kinda nasty but hey I'm here documenting memories and apparently Brady smiling will only be in a few of them!

That's right!  I didn't lose by much.

A Day At the Lake

We try to go once a week to the lake with my friend Rozz that watches Baine for me on Monday's.  It is so fun and relaxing.  I think I love this more than boating!  Baine is so good he just floats with me and even falls asleep around naptime.  I wish I could take a camera in the lake with me to get pictures of just how cute he is.  He even wears his life jacket without 1 complaint!  Very impressed since last year during swimming lessons he threw a MAJOR fit when I tried to put one on him.  

Here he got a few owies from a fall.  I laugh when people get hurt, this one was different.  I wish the battle wounds could show how bad I thought he was hurt.  The dirt there is clay.  So when it dries it is so hard and bumpy.  He was running down a hill because he loves to do that and when he got to the bottom he fell.  I thought that was weird that he fell on the flat part.  He cried and I jumped up and ran over, which I hardly ever do, and he was fine.  Kept whining but went on his marry way.

Chase and Baine.  Chase loves to torment  Baine but  Baine couldn't ask for a better friend.  Rozz and Chase have trained Baine to call Chase his brother.  Chase couldn't be prouder.  He cries when I pick up Baine before 5 on Monday's.  I love that they love him. 

Here are some pictures of Baine riding the rides at the mall.  I was trying to pass some time one day so this is where we ended up.  He is one cute kid!
