It is Officially Summer

That is correct.  I am enjoying every minute of my Summer Vacation.  I have cashed in my Mother's Day Spa day, relaxed, cleaned and organized the house, did a little planning for August (shhhh don't tell the other teachers that I'm that huge dork).  But most importantly, I have spent more time with the Ty Guy. Must take trips to make is officially summer = The Pool & The Zoo.  

The best about the pool is that Ty just feel in absolute love with this bucket that day and was determined to wear it everywhere.  He walked around Target, Sports Authority, and the grocery store, telling everyone that they can call him, "Pail Head".  Not Bucket Head....he will correct you on that one.  Its Pail Head.

We went to the zoo this week with some friends and after watching the penguins for at least 15 minutes (as everyone should always plan for), I snapped this pic which is to die for.  Seriously...you all know how hard it is to get kids to all smile.  And this one is just perfect.  Thanks iPhone, for capturing the moment just at the right time!!  

And a zoo trip would not be complete without a train ride and measurement at the Polar Bear.  The day finished with Ty picking out a huge blue stuffed snake that he name "Waddle".  Love his creativity!!

Family Fun in the Sun

Yes we are close to Halloween and I already saw Christmas decor at Target and Hallmark (heeellooo suburbs).  But it is about time I share a little of the family fun that we had this summer.  Nothing out of the ordinary...well except a trip to Sunny California and Mexico for Mama and Dad...but that will come later.  Here's a few snaps

The Curious Boy and The Sprinkler

The sprinkler. 

The Curious Boy watches the sprinkler. 

The Curious Boy is now a Crying Boy as a tiny drop of water got him. 

A Crying Boy.

Finally, the Curious Boy realizes that it is just water and is now a Brave Boy.

Sort of...

And he ran through the sprinkler all day long. 

The Curious Boy was in fact, a Happy Boy. 

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

The Gapps made it to our first Rockies Game as a family of three.  Of course, we didn't stay for the whole thing. But the little guy greatly enjoyed himself, yelled out BAAAALLLLLL numerous times for everyone to hear, gave a flirty "Hi" to everyone around us, and downed a cup of Dip N Dots.

Tyson had a good time too!!  :)

I would definitely say that it was a hit.  (And look at those cheeks!!)
