Peas and Milk Please!

Grant is the funniest little baby.  He is LOVING his food lately and he definitely has favorites.  Peas have to top the list.  This kid would eat bowls of them if I let him!  One thing that he does that cracks me up is he clears his throat when he wants a bottle.  No crying.  (Well unless I am really testing his patience.)  He also likes to have a little drink while he's eating.  So picture this.  He sees the peas and squeals.  Opens his mouth like a little bird and sighs with pleasure after each spoonful.  Clears his throat so I give him his bottle...takes a few sips...then repeat.  It's so funny!  He's a little smartypants.

The Dynamic Duo!!

I've been so behind that I was getting stressed about being behind...then every day I would fall more behind!!  SOOO...I will catch up on July when I can...but here is the latest in our adventures.  :)

Yesterday we had a BIG day for the boys.  Cole and Tommy have been saving gift cards from their Uncle Joey to Stride Rite for a full year as we were waiting for their big sale to cash in.  They've been eyeballing Star Wars sneakers there for awhile and both boys wanted (of all things) rain gear.  No lie.  Anyway, the *stars* aligned yesterday so off we went...gift cards in wallets.  :)  As we pulled into the parking lot, Cole declared, "I am getting superhero rain boots, too!"

The level of our success can only be defined best by this photo:

These raincoats are AMAZING!!  And of course, the matching boots arrived today.  And wait until you see their amazing new sneakers! (video coming soon)  Tommy picked red...Cole blue...and are you ready for their shoe size?  How about 11!!!!  These guys are super tall....already wearing 5T in most things.  Crazy!

I had the BEST day with all my superheroes....the Dynamic Duo...and Superboy!

Oh July....

Our July was CRAZY.  Literally.  And I have so many pictures to post!!  From Grants baptism...his first tooth...Grandma's visit...Tommy and Cole swim lessons...starting summer camp....mommy doing the Susan G. Komen 60-mile walk...then to top it off...our annual summer theme bash.  (This year we had nearly 100 guests!!!)  So...forgive me for being a little lax in posting.  I need to take the next week to organize photos...my thoughts...and my house.  :)  But I PROMISE...new photos will be coming very, very soon!

Strawberry "Groovy Smoothies!"

Every night in Puerto Rico...during cocktail hour for mommy and daddy...the boys would order smoothies.  They drank them out of fancy glasses with straws and would sit and talk about what we had done that day.  

Well ever since that amazing week of family bliss the boys have been talking about *groovy smoothies* (their name for any kind of smoothie) so today we decided it was time.  We pulled out the blender, yogurt, ice and strawberries and together we whipped up some YUMMY smoothies.  We even put a decorative strawberry on the rim of our glass for fancy sake!  :)

Nothing says summer like sipping fancy cold drinks in your bathing suit!  Cheers!  And happy fourth of July weekend to all!
