More Summer Time Fun







Ivan absolutely loves to go outside, he will stand at the back door and say "outside" until you give into his request. If you do not give in, chances are he will throw a fit. He usually wants to go outside and go down his slide, however his favorite thing to do is play in his pool. He loves to get in and out of his pool over and over and also loves to drag the sprinkler over the pool. His new favorite pool toy is a plastic cup, he loves to fill it up and dump it our and apparenlty, he also loves to drink out of this cup. We do not encourage this, however it is pretty cute.








We have made a couple trips to my parent's house this summer to swim in the "big pool" Ivan loves to be in the water, but he also just loves to run up and down their yard. He has to stop and look at all of the flowers (which are often just bushes) and anything else that may catch his eye.
I thought it was pretty cute that he had to drag his towel along with him every where that he went! Mallory also had her very first swim with Aunt Kelly and she loved it as well!





These are just a few cute photos of Ivan playing at my parent's house. Ivan absolutely loves his "Paw Paw" When we arrive at their house, he instantly asks for him and if he does not find him right away, he will go looking for him! He also finds him first in our family photo and will randomly ask for him when we are at home. He seems to have a little obsession with "Paw Paw" and Mallory!

A Day at the Zoo










Mike and I decided to take a day off work recently and were very happy when we had nice weather so we could spend the day at the zoo. Ivan is much more interested in the animals than we was last year. It was so much fun to watch him actually pay attention to the animals-we were extra happy when we saw that he liked the monkeys! Ivan really does not have a choice to not like monkeys-his bathroom has a monkey theme and I buy him every stuffed monkey I can get my hands on. As you can see, Ivan just kicked back and enjoyed the day!
