Lake Geneva

 ...And, what do I do while Daddy is golfing at Abbey Springs??  Take the boys out on a ferry cruise, pet the horses, play in the sand, and browse the shops at Lake Geneva, of course!!

 Me & our boys.

I had a fabulous day-out with them.

E loved this fountain and lost a couple of pounds running around it numerous times, much to the spectacle of those around. We even tossed in a couple of 'good-luck' coins.

 Pic with my 'big boy'.

 I got US a little treat, intending to share it between US.

This slurpie doggie had just one owner- ha!

 And the slurpie doggie ended up in numerous pics ;)

 Our ferry.

Haven't been on it in years.

 E loved the fact that he had his own ticket!

 HE wanted to give it to the crewmen.

The crewmen did a great job playing along, and were very helpful in making sure he boarded safetly since he was SO insistent that he board all by himself.

 Even Baby C. was accessorized for his first boat cruise.

Can't believe that I paid $10 for the bib, but it was just too cute!

 Mommy & Baby C. aboard the ferry.

 What a fun time with our boys!

 E loved this staircase, especially with the water splashing up.

 Not quite tall enough (thank goodness!)

The empty, air-conditioned, bottom deck was the ideal spot to let E enjoy most of the cruise (and, suck on his slurpie doggie.

 The biggest anchor I've ever seen!

 One very happy little boy!

 Ha- E just could not wrap his head around this 'Thing'.

We stopped for a lemonade (plenty of liquids since it was 95+) and all he could do was stare this thing down.

We all agreed that Daddy should golf more often at Abbey Springs ;)

"E-de gu too!"

 If Daddy goes golfing, then E wants to golf too!!

(E's golf bag was his 2nd birthday present from Mommy & Daddy- planned out 2years prior to having a son ;)  Yes, E's bag was pulled from the fire- it was in the laundry room, and B's was in his car.  Go figure- both their clubs survive.)

 Selecting his club of choice.  Who says you can't use a driver on the green?!?

 B went golfing at Abbey Springs with his granddad and uncles, but E had to get a round in with him first :)  E insisted on playing a round of golf with Dad the minute he woke up and found out Daddy was going to golf.  So, his clubs were loaded into the trunk as well.

 Daddy loves his little caddie!

 Just like Daddy.

 "Quiet...."

 "Get in the hole!"

 "Don't think anyone saw that..."  ;)

"Me and My Dad"

Boats, Fish, Sun & Fun

 Went boating with the Cousins on the new recreational lake in town.  E loved his first boat ride, and even caught a fish with Daddy! 

Daddy and E right before boarding.







 Mommy & E ready for some fun in the glaring sun!

They had the cutest little PFD for E.



 "Pop-cl!!!!"  Third mate helped himself to an endless supply of popsicles until we got to our fishing spot.



Oh, Captain, My Captain!

 My boys, minus Baby C.

 We just love fishing and boating.  It was so nice just to relax...

 E fishing for the first time.  Even though he's been fishing with us since he was about a week old, this was the first time that he used his own pole.

 And, look what he and Daddy caught.... "-ish!".

All boy when it comes to touching the fish.  He was giggling away at the baby bass.

After two hours of scorching sun, we heading back to shore to the new splash park.

He is our little water baby, both on and off shore!

He kept saying, 'E-de do et a-gin!'



Happy 3rd Month Birthday, Baby C !!!!

 Happy 3rd Month Birthday, C!

Where did the past month go?!  But, my, have you grown!

 At 3months old I:

* Roll over from my tummy to back.
* Hold my head up very well, and will follow people & sounds around a room.

* Love tummy time (unlike my big brother who wanted nothing to do with it!).

* Love to flirt with myself in mirrors.

* Love to flirt and smile with others.

* Have a blast watching my big brother play and be obnoxious.

* Sleep from 730pm-730am, waking once sometime between 1-3am.  Believe me, Mommy is thrilled!

* Am only swaddled during nighttime, unlike my big brother who was swaddled all the time for his first 3months.

* Only do a paci sometimes, otherwise I will launch it out of my mouth and over the crib side and onto the floor (unlike we know who ;) )

* Will swing my arms at toys and grab onto my cow rattle and hold/shake rattle toys.

* Coo away at anyone who wants to talk to me.

* Prefer nursing to bottle feeding (formula).  Mom would love to do more bottle feeding, but I haven't let her have much choice- Ha.  Sometimes she offers me different bottles but I flat out refuse till I get to nurse!!  I did it the other day at the mall and she had no other option to feed me except to nurse- haha.  I'm only taking ~1bottle a day (just for some relief for Mom).

* Nap a lot.  Hey, I'm a fast-growing boy!

* ...Am taller than 98% of other boys my age (where the gene comes from, I don't know).
* Wear 3-6mth/6mth clothing, and size 2 nappies.

* Am a bundle of sweetness and cuddles, and Mom is absolutely in love with me.

 More of his sweet little toesies!

 My sweet friend, Emmalee, made these for our boys.

She hand makes them- see her Etsy site, Wooden Moose (link on my blog).

 And, this adorable rattle for C.

 SMILE!!
