Graduation

My cousin Stephanie graduated from high school last week. And on Saturday she had a great party. There was awesome food from portillos and homemade salads, a snow cone machine(which Easton loved), great family and friends.
I have said it before I love the way that my cousins and I grew up more like sisters than cousins. And Easton is having that opportunity to do that with his cousin(2nd cousin to be exact) Cordy. I love that on some Sundays we all get together and hang out. Birthday, holidays, and just because they get to see each other. Well, the graduation was no exception. Cordy was there and she brought a pool. So her and Easton could go swimming.

Summer

Summer has just started but Easton has been in his pool at least 3 times. He loves a bath so imagine him in a pool. But most of all he loves the hose. He loves to hold it, run with it, and spray people with it.
Easton has his own pool, a really cool one. One that sprays water and takes forever to blow up. But he enjoys playing with Bella's pool. And he enjoys playing with Bella. Most of the time, Bella enjoys Easton. But sometimes I think Bella wishes he didn't know how to walk/run.

Sure, I'll share the water with you

I love Easton's face

Let me stir the water with the rake

It's hard work playing

Umm, here do you want some corn?



Really, take the corn

He reaches in.....

Takes a bite....

and puts it right back in!!!!

Easton loves having Bella chase him

Time to sit down and relax

So much to talk about

There are so many small things to tell I don't know where to begin. So I guess I'll start with our computer.
*Our old computer was crap. Plain and simple. It would take 10 minutes just to sign on. I'm not joking it took that long. Well my parents bought a new computer and gave us their old computer. and we LOVE it. I mean there is NOTHING wrong with it, It works fast, has sound, it even has Word so I can type letters. Ah, the simple things in life.
* James applied for a new department at Wal-Mart and it looks good. I'm so happy for him. There will be many things that we have to cut but if this job makes him happy Easton and I are more than willing to but some things out.
*Summer is here and I seem to be loving it this year. I think it's because Easton is a little older so he can do more things and enjoy them. But let me tell you Easton has been a beast. I think he got confused with "terrible twos" with "terrible toddler". If he does not get what he wants he screams, like a girl scream. And to be honest sometimes I give in, most of the time I don't. I keep telling myself that it's a good thing he is being a leader and is strong. But in the back of my head I'm telling myself uhhh, can't he just give in.
* As I'm typing this Easton is starting to cry a little. We are trying to stop the rocking him before bed. I still hold him and spend Mommy and Easton time but instead of put him to sleep while rocking. have been putting him in his crib while he is somewhat awake. Most days I have to go in there about 3 times before he finally sleeps but it seems to be working.
* And one last thing. Since we have my parent's old computer they left pictures on there of Easton. Some of them I don't have since my dad took them with his camera. So the pictures that are below are of some cute ones of Easton.
*Goodnight!
