Radio Flyer

Well, I must say that Colby has really gotten spoiled by grandparents this month! This awesome Radio Flyer arrived in the mail from Mimi and Pops and Colby thinks it is great! Matt pulled him around in it yesterday and I did today, I finally had to tell him that mommy was tired and then he proceeded to play in it alone (with Sieben!) Thank you to Mimi and Pops!!Maybe I can hit a golf ball from here.
Sunbathing? He laid down on him tummy and then turned over on his back, like he was really enjoying the sunshine or getting ready for the beach. Yes, he had sunscreen on! He is such a BOY!
Come on, Mama!
Colby thought this was the coolest lawn mower he has ever seen. The man was trimming up the golf course and Colby stood there in amazement. The mower man did not see Colby (or seem to notice him), I was hoping he would wave and excite the little guy.
Before Daddy got home from work Colby and I watered all the flowers in the yard. Imagine Colby's surprise when he figured out how to use the sprayer on the hose! He was thrilled, he used it for at least an hour, spraying plants, filling up the watering can, spraying the dog, the house, Mommy from behind (who was dumb enough to turn her back on him!) He just laughed and laughed when I screamed. Sheer joy on his face here, he had just figured it out.
Watch out Mommy! He actually did not put two and two together (that he could spray people and get a reaction of them) until Matt got home, here he is just proud of his discovery.

NOW he has figured it out, that is why I am so far away!
"Spraying" Papa. You should have heard the fit he threw when we turned the water off and told him it was time to go in, he was drenched. I swear, he would spend every waking hour outside if he could.

Oh, I love that little guy of yours! Wish we could be there to watch him grow up! He's got such joy in his smile.

Excellent picture of Colby in the wagon and Sieben in front!

Hi! I stumbled upon your blog not too long ago via Heather's blog and was delighted to see that your family has grown with the addition of a very handsome little boy since we left Germany a year and a half ago. :) Congratulations! You must be loving every minute of your time with him. :) What a precious picture of Colby in his wagon next to Sieben! I enjoyed getting caught up a little on your life via your most recent posts. Take care! JoyAnna & Family
