Busy summer

We love our summer, the pool calls our name about every day. Ty is still our swimmer, he loves to dive under the water. He is swimming small distances, from us to the steps. Aidan has begun to love the water as well. She has so much fun splashing. The first part of our summer has been a lot of parks, pools and family time. We took the kids to their first drive in movie, that was exciting. We were actually in town for the 4th, which is very rare, and enjoyed the towns parade. Afterwards we had friends over for a lot of food, games, and fireworks. We haven't traveled as much as we normally do but that is getting ready to change. Last weekend mommy went away for a short girls weekend and daddy, Ty and Aidan had a blast together. Daddy constructed a big fort that covered the entire living room and half the kitchen. They had such a good time. We leave this weekend to go visit Chad's younger brother/wife and their son (cousin Warner). Then we are on to Granny and Granddad's house. I made the mistake of telling Ty yesterday where we were going this weekend and he has begun to get upset that we aren't loading up the car now to go. We are staying about 5 days and then Ty gets to spend a week with Granny and Granddad, we still aren't quite ready for Aidan to be gone from us yet. We will be making a weekend trip to the mountains to spend with Chad's parents and pick up Ty. We have been doing the potty dance here frequently, Ty is really doing well. He has been very excited lately from doing the BIG poo poo on the potty. Aidan is working on her third tooth so we are chewing on everything. She is taking her time on crawling. But of course why would she hurry that up, she is the crowned princess and enjoys sitting to play while her toys are brought to her :) I am excited for August as well for our family beach trip, it will be Aidan's first trip to the beach and of course Ty is our little beach bum. It should be a blast.
