Slip & Slide

I thought Dax would be terrified of this thing. I was so wrong.  He had a blast sliding back and forth for about an hour. We're inside taking a break, but he's already excited to head back out! Hope you like the pictures!

This cat isn't affraid of anything! She wanted right in on the action!

Just Some Fun Pics

Not much to say for these photos. We spend a few hours outside yesterday, and I thought these were cute. Captured some of Dax's personality.

He didn't understand why he couldn't reattach the broken piece of chalk

He reminds me a lot of linus from the Peanuts. He carries that blanket everywhere!

We're busting out the slip and slide today, so hopefully I'll have some fun pics on here tomorrow!!

The Last 30 Minutes

For the last half hour, me and Morgan have taken turns pulling Dax around on a blanket. I'm affraid we've created a blanket racing monster!

Let Me Tell You A Story

Dax: Mom, chips pleas?

Me: hm... ok. What's the magic word?

*long pause*

Dax: Ask Daddy!

How is it that my two year old already knows he's got daddy wrapped around his finger?

On a side note, we set up his pool this morning, expecting it to warm up while Dax napped. When we woke up it was really windy. I almost decided to throw in the towel on the whole 'swimming' idea, but Dax talked me into it... We had about 15 minutes of pool time fun, and then it started to rain.

In this next picture, he's showing me that there is a leaf in the pool and instructing me to get it out, NOW.

Dax sneaking back in after the wind calmed down:



My Conceited Little Boy

One of Dax's favorite pass times is watching videos of himself. . .

If we're having a rough day, or he's really tired and grumpy, we'll bust out the video camera and play a few videos of him. He's so cute about it! He giggle's and laugh's at himself, and when he hears our voice in the video asking him a question, he answers!

He found the camera when we were cleaning out our room this morning, and we snapped a few cute pics:



The Zoo

My friend Beth invited us to the zoo today. I'm glad we went. The weather was perfect, and almost all of the animals were out. Oh, and then there was the fact that once I mentioned it to Dax, he was ECSTATIC!

His First Smore

Phew. What a challenge.

Keeping a 2 year old away from a fire, while trying to make smores is ridiculously hard!

Despite his face in some of the pictures, he did have a good time. My camera just isn't great at night photos.
