Our life in review

Sooo.... it's been a while.  Turns out having two children shakes life up a little bit.  I can't count the number of posts I've started and not finished over the last month and a half because someone needed me to do something... you know feed and sustain them, keep them from peeing on the carpet, kiss their bruised head after unnamed two year old's feet went right out from under him on a huge puddle of water in the kitchen right after HE dumped it out of his cup.  (lesson learned btw... kind of).   Okay, okay, turns out I CAN count the number of posts I've started in the last month and a half.  That was a lie.  It was only 2.  Yes that's how often I've been able to sit down and write in my online scrapbook/keep grandma up to date sort of blog... but I promise there were a whole whole bunch more started in my head.  :)  You know, Easter, business trip with daddy to Kansas City, our camping vacation, Everett turning 3 months... um Everett turning 4 months...,  my garden (which not unlike this blog will be lucky to survive the summer.... probably should be watering it right now instead of typing...  I'm super excited about it, by the way!  (It was my Mother's Day/Birthday present from Eric, and it's AWESOME!  :)  Long story short, you know it's been a long time since you've blogged when... your husband would rather you blog than unpack the van and suitcases from the vacation we got home from 4 days ago....


So for starters here's our life as of late in review with a few photos:


Eric turned the big 30 in April!




Soo glad for warmer weather! And my hard working men! 



 First popsicle ever!  :)



My birthday in K.C. on Eric's business trip we got to tag along on!


Digging for dinosaurs at Science City in Union Station.  :)



Fritz's restaurant where our food was delivered by train!



Found a fun park with a splash pad!



My handsome boys!


Camping near Omaha this past week!

Nap time! Successful and fun but sooo hot.  New rule for Dobbs camping: In summer months, camping is only allowed at higher altitudes or more northern latitudes!



1st S'more!  Hard to enjoy in the heat! :) 


Air and Space Museum!


Enjoying a patch of shade in the campground!


Loving the animals at the Henry Doorly Zoo!


 And the train ride!


Keeping cool at the pool at our campground!



And let me tell you!  This kid does not hold back on his smiles!  He smiles and babbles ALL the time!!!  I almost CAN wait until he talks because I'm afraid that he's going to talk even more than his brother... and that folks is saying something!  :)   We sure do love our boys!


It's been a fun summer so far, but as most days we're drowning in laundry, and up to our eyeballs in dishes... we're definitely counting our blessings when vacation days break the daily monotony of life with little ones at home.  :)
