Summertime

The boys and I have been trying to stay cool in this intense heat here in Dallas! We spend much of our days swimming or playing indoors. I am definitely ready for it to start cooling off a bit so we can head outside to the parks! B and C are full of energy and need to get it out and the parks seem to be a great way to do it!
I signed Bryson up for soccer so we are looking forward to that! He was a bit upset when I went to sign him up. He thought he was going to get to play right then and there. I tried to explain to him we were just signing him up and we would start practicing and playing in a couple of weeks but that didn't seem to settle well with him and he was throwing a huge fit. Hard headed just like his momma!
Caleb is very interested in "locking and unlocking" doors. He carries keys around with him everywhere. We found some old keys and gave them to him. He loves them and has to lock and unlock the car door, front door, etc.

Caleb hard at work sorting through his business cards!Sending out an email!On the carousal at the mall.Caleb on Bryson's bike. Bryson refused to try to ride his bike. Caleb loved it! Bryson wanted to ride the tricycle which is way to small for him. He still will not peddle though.Playing at the pool!My little fish!Playing on the steps.
Caleb was playing with his car but he stopped and posed for me.Bryson happy about his "skyscraper" that he built. Victor with his mini-me!This is at Watters Creek. Neat place that has shopping and dining and in the middle is this grassy area that has this creek that the boys just love! Anytime Bryson sees water he now asks, "Is there fish in dere? sharks in dere? crocodiles in dere? turtles in dere?" They also have this buffalo statue. Anytime we tell Bryson to hug brother or put your arm around brother, this is what we get...a choke hold, lol. Caleb was not amused by this buffalo.A little painting. Bryson painted an elephant.Caleb painted a lion.After they painted their elephant and lion Bryson wanted to paint dinosaur footprints...And since B was still painting C thought he needed to paint something else too. Painting is fun!! We went to the park one Saturday morning hoping to beat some of the heat but it was still soooo hot even in the shade. Caleb decided to drive for a bit.Bryson on the monkey bars. After Victor put him on the bars Bryson said, "Daddy don't do that." I think he got scared.Notice the key in Caleb's hand. Has to go everywhere with it.Caleb climbing up the "rocks."
