Water Baby

Well, I guess he's technically more of a "water big boy", but it doesn't sound as catchy as water baby!

Brennan had a great weekend, full of fun in the sun. We spent Saturday at my GrandMommy & GrandDaddy Bob's house with the Biffel family. Brennan had a blast swimming and playing in the dirt. We left there around 4:30 pm (with a child who was asleep in his car seat before we left the driveway!) and headed to Cobb Island to spend time with B's cousin Michaela who is visiting from Minot, ND. Brennan is absolutely smitten with her! Here's a couple pictures of B with his cousins Michaela ("McLaLa") and Wyatt.

B & His Girlfriends

Last Wednesday B and I went to Grandmommy's pool with our friend "Shell" (Michelle) and her two kiddos, Lexi (6) and Abby (3 - going on 13!). The kids had a blast and were pretty well behaved. Nobody drowned and they all shared the water toys, so we'll call it a successful outing!

B is starting to do very well in the water. He was quite timid in the water at the beginning of the summer, but now he loves the pool. He even did some jumps off the diving board at my cousin Charlie's house yesterday! (If anyone has a picture of that, be sure to send it to me).

Nobody tell his Daddy he was wearing a purple life jacket & pink goggles!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

It has definitely been a busy summer so far. Lots of fun in the sun and quality time with the family. Brennan has been enjoying every minute, well, every minute that we let him spend outside! Truthfully, he would live outside if we let him. Unfortunately, his Momma is more of a shade-dweller. I hate the heat! Even worse, if I spend more than 5 minutes outside I end up with about 20 mesquito bites (seriously). Apparently I'm very sweet :o) We even have a skeeter vac and I use Off - neither of which seem to help me.



Well, my son just woke up from his nap so I have to cut this post short. We will leave you with some pictures of our 5th of July party at the Kopel's house:




Brennan loves this scooter!


Any child who has ever been to Grandmommy's house knows about the Tootsie Pops!

My Apologies

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I have tons of recent pictures to post, but I've just been a bad, lazy blogger!

Brennan continues to grow like a weed and he is learning new things and words every day. He is such a funny little guy with an awesome personality and we can't get enough of the silly things he does.

We are currently celebrating the 4th of July with Sammy & J-Pop (aka "Josh's parents") and we're really enjoying all of the fun in the sun. While I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to post after the annual Hammett Family 4th of July BBQ tomorrow, I'll leave you with some pictures from our time in Cobb Island with the Hixson's...


B isn't scared of much - but he was terrified when he first got in the water...or the "big pool" as he calls it.


One of the back of his head for Nana!


I don't know...do you think he loves his J-Pop?!
