odds and ends

We've been enjoying our summer break here. The weather has been VERY hot and humid but we're spending lots of time in the pool or inside in the air conditioning. =) Dylan spends a lot of his day doing "arks" and crafts. I keep telling him it's "arts" but he won't budge. Jackson is doing great!! He's staying awake longer to "talk" and play. His favorite things are his big brother, ceiling fans, his swaddle, and his crib mobile. If he sees or feels any of those things, you immediately get a smile out of him. So sweet!!

Jackson got his first haircut last weekend. Don't worry, we only cut the sideburns! They were bugging me. =)
Here's the before:

And here's the after:And here's a cute picture I snagged while I was shooting the others:

Dylan's "girlfriend" came over to the house last week and they played outside getting dirty and wet. LOL I was lucky enough to snag this lens for the day so I spent most of the time taking pictures.And here's the little dude napping the morning away.My friend Brooke made me a sling for Jackson last week and that is the best thing EVAH!! I use it all the time! It's great for "holding" him but not really, kwim? I can be doing other stuff (like editing pics on the computer) while he's snuggled up next to me. I love it!!!! She's going to be selling these little bad boys soon so if you're interested in one, let me know and I'll get her info to you. I picked out the fabric from Hobby Lobby. =)
This past weekend was another crop at Scrap4Life. I got 7 pages done. Wahoo!!!! Here are my favs:


Oh, and guess who's sleeping through the night now! Wahoo!!!!!

Well, I guess that's about it for today. Hope everyone is having a great Monday!
