 What do you do when the weather is so hot you think you might have accidentally moved to Arizona?  You buy a wading pool!!!!! 

 Jim surprised the girls by sitting in the pool fully clothed!!!  Those bilibo's also make great seats in a small wading pool.

 There was just enough water for Helaina to back float.  Her buns were actually off the bottom!

 A few nights ago Jim called me out to the garage to "SEE" something.  Jim had taken the dogs out for their last potty break of the night and found two raccoons in the garage.  Parker chased one out but the other hid under the tool box.  We shut the garage door and went to bed.  In the morning Jim came back in the bedroom to tell me that we had apparently locked three more coons in the garage over night.  They spent their night pooping all over Jim's grill.  hehehehehehehe  Maybe I should mention that Jim didn't find that party very funny.  We haven't seen them again but we are read this time!  We have a live animal trap just waiting.  Of course, with our luck we will probably catch our neighbors dog or a cat!   

All three kids hanging out on the floor with a good book and some toys!  I think Curious George is on the TV! 

Easton is 7 months

Easton is seven months old!  EEEEEEKKKK!!!!!  So many months just flying by!    So, what is Easton doing these days?  I think I can finally say he starting to sit up a lot better.  The picture above is one of few times where I haven't placed a pillow behind him.  He doesn't always stay on his buns.  He seems to enjoy falling over and then just playing on his back for a while.  Jim and I just call him LAZY!!!  hehehehehe  I figure at this rate we won't have to worry about him crawling any time soon.   
Easton laughs and smiles VERY easily.  He is exceedingly ticklish too.  He is a squealer too.  Sometimes he just squeals for no reason.  He loves his dogs but doesn't have much patients for other dogs.  I don't think he realizes the noisy hairy thing that lives in our house is the same as the sweet quiet one next door.  We ran into the neighbors on our walk and they had their sweet Retriever with them.  Copper didn't so much as look as Easton before Easton was screaming with terror.  "Oh Easton, you can't be in this family and be afraid of animals!"
He is in LOVE with his sisters.  Helaina adores him so much.  Breleigh  loves him too and always calls him, "Mr. Man" but doesn't have the patients for him like Helaina does.  (it's an age thing I am sure)  There are a lot of smiles and giggles in our house right now.  Easton is a good baby food eater.  We haven't branched out too far with other foods.  He tends to gag on anything new and since gagging usually leads to a full fledged vomit session I have avoided trying anything new while we are out and about!  YUCK!!!!
