JD loves History and Geography!

Daddy's been working with him this summer...can you tell? :)

Little Eman

He loves his Papa belly!!

Fork!

Ethan used his fork all by himself this morning to eat his whole breakfast! He was so proud of himself (and I was awfully proud, too)!

Our Little Bowler!!

JD bowled for the first time up north last weekend. He bowled a 97!! Enjoy the video of his spare! :)

Happy 3rd Birthday, JD!!

What a fun day JD had!! Grandma and Grandpa Dunwell took JD and Ethan to Castaway Cafe to play for lunch. They had a great time. After I picked the boys up, we came home and JD played with his new trapeeze that Grandma and Grandpa D. got him for his birthday. We then took JD into the garage to see his new bike. He didn't notice it right away, because he was putting "gas" into his car with the watering can! But when he noticed it he said, "What is that bike? Who is it for? Is that bike for me?!" It was too cute! He hopped right on and rode around the garage like a pro (with a tiny bit of help from Mommy and Daddy). We then went to Red Robin for his birthday dinner. Afterward, we had him open his other two presents (slinky and books) and we sang and enjoyed cupcakes with feet! It was such a fun night!

New Swing set!!!

JD had a blast this evening on his new swing set! My girlfriend gave us her gently used swing set last fall and we're just getting around to putting it all together again! My dad and brother worked on it all day today. They want to make sure it's ready for JD's birthday party in a couple weeks. Tonight, just before bed time, my dad and Uncle Bill came over to finish putting on the slide. JD had SO much fun playing on it. Although he did get to bed a little late, it was worth it!!

Beautiful Day!

The weather was beautiful this weekend! We went to the park. JD had fun climbing, sliding, and spider swinging with Daddy. Ethan really enjoyed swinging!

vacation photos!

Take a look at our vacation photos! There are some cute videos, too! :)

Yay! Vacation!

We had a super-fun day!! We hit the road about 2:15am and made great time! For breakfast we stopped at a very cool playplace and JD loved running around, playing, and eating a little breakfast. We then drove to Mammoth Cave and took a very cold, but fantastic, cave tour. JD loved it! It was about 3:30 when we finally arrived at our planned hotel for the night in Decatur, AL. I am sure to say that JD's favorite part of this hotel was the pool!! John taught him how to jump in the water...which he did right away with the safety of dad's hands and his life jacket. After a delicious dinner, JD was back in the pool again...without dad's hands to catch him OR his life jacket. I have to admit this made me a little nervous, but I suppose since Daddy was in the water right there with him and he does know a little about coaching swimming :), it was okay. Check out the videos from our playtime in the pool. Tomorrow we're off bright and early to Ericka's. We have about a 5 hour drive. We can't wait to see them!! More updates soon...stay tuned! :)

You Are My Sunshine!

You'll need to know that ever since he was born, I have sung this to JD substituting "Bubbie" for "sunshine" (since my nickname for him is Bubbie). I love when he sings this with me!!
