Hot Days

Man the last 3 days have been hot! That hasn't stopped us though. Dempsey and Mommy went to the lake swimming on Monday and Tuesday. We picked up Keenan and Turner to come along. Dempsey thinks he likes the water but only when mom is holding him. He sure thought it was funny when the boys would swim under water and tickle his feet.
Today we just stayed home. I had a little to much sun yesterday; I don't think I drank enough water for as hot as it was. So we hung out inside most of the day, then later went out side where I finally put my last tomato plants in the ground. I'd been afraid to move them since they were doing so well in the pot I had them in, but now they look pretty spindly.
I don't have any pictures of Dempsey swimming so oh well.

birthday party

On sunday we had Reids 9th birthday party and boy what a nice day.

After eating, cake, icecream and opening presents; Adam got out the slip and slide!!

All the kids played in the water. They had lots of fun.

June Bug Days

We had a very bissy weekend. It was "June Bug Days" in Baldwin. On Friday night Grandpa and Grandma, along with Adam, Payton and Walker, and Heather and Dave; all went to ride on the rides. Dempsey LOVED the rides and cryied when he had to get off of them.
Then on Saturday afternoon, we went to the parade. It was a hot day and mommy go a little sunburnt. Dempsey started to get the hang of running out to get candy, but he mainly wanted to eat it. We then continued on to the fair grounds, where we to the peting zoo. The goats got a little close but he enjoyed the little chickens the most. Then Dempsey had to ride the little train that he loved the night before. In total he rode the train 5 or 6 times.

Dempsey finally figured out how to squirt the squirt bottle.

Finally a nice day:) We spent the day ot side playing and enjoying the sun; it sure was a nice change from the rainy weather we've been having. This weekend is "June Bug Days" we plan on hitting a few garage sales in the morning and some rides in the evening, maybe a brat or two for supper.

Today Dempsey got his 2nd hair cut and man does he look cute, and so much like my dad. He didn't do as well as his first cut but he did good and got a nice, yummy sucker as a reward.

Heres a before shot

and an after, with the sucker

and now the sucker mess. You can see he even ate some of the stick.

Seeing as I enjoy my friends blogs I thought that it was time to start my own.

We'll start with a family update...

Aaron is still working at Andersen Windows, I am a stay at home mom, doing massage on Sautrdays. Dempsey is now 13 1/2 months old. Walking, climing and being a monster all the time; but he sure is wonderful. He loves to play out side so we often spend our days playing with the hoes, out on walks, playing at the park or in the garden (which is looking pretty sorry with the lack of rain).

We are also expecting our second baby. I am 10 weeks along, feeling like crap most evenings. Our due date is around the first of the year. We are very excited for the new baby.

Here are some resent family pictures.
