Musical Playtime

Chloe isn't quite sure what to make of Timber's howling!

Little piano master! 

Looking at her brother.

Girlfriend is loving standing.  We're in trouble!  

Watching big brother play.

Garden Time

Our little helper AJ loves to harvest the veggies from the garden with Daddy and Grandpa

Bringing some red peppers to the bowl to bring back in the house. 

Putting the veggies with the other ones they picked. 

Meanwhile, this little girl was being a cutie in the door. 

One of my absolute favorite pictures of her. 

Her best friend joined her. 

Two peas in a pod.

Sneaky Feeder

Chloe loves her Cheerios so much that she wants to share the yumminess of them with Timber!  She thinks she is being sneaky, but I caught on to what she's doing! haha  She's just like her little brother who used to feed Timber his food all the time.

Acting all innocent!

Caught in the act!

He loves her.  She loves him.  I love how he is just staring at her... 

Not Goodbye... See you Later!

Tonight my friend Danelle came over for our last hang out of the summer before she heads out to Arizona to attend Vet School.  I am so darn excited for her, but sad for me and our pets!!  Nelle has been working towards getting in to Vet School for the past many years taking classes at ECSU and SCSU.  All of her hard work has finally paid off as she got accepted into Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ.  I cannot wait for her to experience this new adventure, but I will definitely miss being able to get together with her whenever I want!!

Before Nelle left tonight, she had to get in a few last minute snuggles with her favorite Husky and Fat Cat!

Hanging with Timber

Chloe is still getting used to Timber.. she's not sure what to make of him - should she like him?  Should she avoid him?  Tonight, she decided she would sit next to him and test the waters...

Being brave.

We had Timber howling with her...

She thought he was a bit nuts!

Still unsure...

But then big brother came around...

Cheese! 

Jeeps, T-Ball and Chalk, Oh My!

It was a beautiful day out and I couldn't resist taking the kiddos outside to get some fresh air.  We broke out the jeeps, the t-ball set, the exersaucer for Miss Chloe and the big purple ball.  We even did a little bit of drawing with sidewalk chalk on the driveway!  AJ absolutely loved learning how to hit the ball and see how far it would go on the driveway/yard.  He also enjoyed having an audience of his little sister and Mommy cheering him on!

[I love the continuous shutter on my iPhone - it makes for great action shots!  So expect to be inundated with lots of 'ready, set, go' pics of AJ learning how to play t-ball!]

Setting it up

Good hit buddy!

He's so strong he hits the base and makes it fall over! 

Winding up...

 

..and almost contact...

...he did it!

 

A different angle.

He hits....

He scores!

Woohoo Bud!  

Look at that wind-up!

..and the follow-through...

I think we might have a professional t-ball player on our hands!

There's nothing special about this picture, but I just love it.  My little guy...

Back at it!

'Mom, stop taking so many pictures!'

'I told you to stop!' 

Taking a bathroom break inside..with the cheese head, of course!  

Chloe enjoyed watching her big brother. 

He hits, he scores!

Play time for our little girl!

'Oh wow, look at that hit!'

Back to my playtime though...

'Hi Mom!'

Can you tell AJ wasn't into taking a picture with Mommy?!

Enjoying the view of my kiddos and the beautiful day.

I love the look on Chloe's face.. 'Wait a minute big bro, that's my seat!'

'Ahh, nevermind, back to playing!'

I even let Timber outside on the porch off the leash 

so he could partake in the outside time.

Loving life.

Fun with bouncing the purple ball. 

Our handsome furry first born.

I think someone was a bit tired from all of his outside fun.
