Little Helper

Swimming all by himself at Grandma & Grandpa V's ~

No help was allowed!

Addy, Aaron, & Andrew ~

We had so much fun with the Russell's last week!The past couple of weeks we've started to notice how observant Andrew is. He takes a rag, bib, or washcloth and will start wiping the coffee table like he's dusting. He'll also fight me for the vacuum to try to help, or go in the closet to help sweep up the kitchen. In addition to trying to help around the house he is starting to really like books and animals. If he can find a book with animals in it, he will sit and let you re-read it a couple of times. He's changing so much, so fast it's unbelievable. Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Home Sweet Home!

We are finally home from our almost 2 week vacation. We had a great time and Andrew surprisingly did GREAT in the car! Aaron has been sick since Sunday and is finally starting to feel better. During our stay in St. Louis we were woken by the fire alarm in the hotel at 3 a.m. - not fun anytime, especially with a 14 month old! Needless to say we had a great time, relaxed, and are glad to be home! Enjoy the pics - warning, there's a ton!

Playing peek-a-boo behind the pole

This was Andrew's first time in a BIG pool - He LOVED it!
He was ticked that he couldn't play by himself once he got off the stairs though

The curious case of Andrew Glass

Close-up of that contagious smile!

The water & fire show every hour at The Landing in Branson

Yee Haw!

Andrew fell asleep outside at Garfield's with a Live band playing - too precious!

He loves to play with straws

Aaron was in charge of opening the gate so we can drive through to the next field. He eagerly jumped out of the truck and said "Watch Daddy in action - famous last words!"

This is what happened - Once he practically patted the cow on the back as it was passing through the gate - He told us, "What you didn't see were the 4 mean looking cows to my left" Needless to say the cows switched fields about a week early :)

In amazement of the cattle passing by the truck

" I can't believe I'm in the car without a car seat - act natural"

A quick shot on Uncle Christophers land

This is part of Christopher's land - its called cutsoo(spelling?)

It looks like something you would see in a movie

Andrews first time on a horse with his Uncle Lonnie Ray -

He didn't mind it as long as he wasn't touching the horse

Pointing at the horses - it took him a few days to stop calling them dogs

Giggling with Uncle Leland

Cool Shades

He loves his Uncle Christopher!

ON VACATION

Getting ready for dinner

Andrew paying attention to everyone BUT us!

We are heading home today from Branson and stopping in St. Louis for the night. We will stop in Springfield in our way home tomorrow. We have had such a relaxing week and loved spending time with Christopher. I have tons of pictures & stories to share when we get back. These are just a few pics we took on Aaron's phone :)

4th of July!

I love Kennedy's little grin!

The girls getting ready for fireworks

* SPARKLERS *

OOOOOH! Fireworks!

Even though the weather was so poopy on the 4th, we were able to go see fireworks. We had a BBQ in the rain then all headed to the golf course for a great fireworks show! On Sunday, we finally spent some time with Brooke, Ryan, & Kennedy! It was a fun long weekend! We head off to KY next week and then to Branson for the rest of our vacation. We're looking forward to seeing Aaron's brother Christopher and relaxing together as a family :)

Sorry I've been such a slacker these past few weeks - I had my nieces all last week and that had be pretty busy, and we're finishing our basement so keeping the house clean is a daily battle! I will try to do better. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and have plans for a great 4th!
