Riding with Grandpa Smith and New Toys!

Summertime and the livin's easy

This is my attempt to catch up on what we've been up to this summer...

Work... chad's been helping on the farm, and this is the kind of laundry I am privileged to clean when he's done :)

Play...

bridger uses his trains to associate colors. For example, if it's a blue cup... it's the "Thomas"cup (Thomas the train is blue...as if you didn't know). If he wants a red otter pop, he asks for a "James"one (James is red), And does the same with every train and color. Anyhow...The other day he was playing in his room and I came in and this is what he had set up... Trains matched to Lincoln logs in the same color.

We're working on the proper color names...but I'm not rushing it, It's cute at 2!

Potty training....

I swore i'd never put things like this on my blog...but it was just too funny to pass up!

Chad caught this in the works and hollered at me to grab my camera.

What's he reading?...that would be the battery instructions to a thomas toy he got a few months back. He'll study it forever!

Potty training is complete!....oh happy day

Bowen...

Just as squishy and cute as ever!

Swimming...

Grilling...

Grilled pizza is my favorite thing to cook these days...so delish!
