Pillows and blankets

Grant loves pillows and blankets. If we leave one out on the floor, he will crawl right over to it, bury his face in it for a few seconds, and then roll over it with a huge grin. It is the sweetest thing! I like to leave out pillows and blankets now... :)

Playing with Leah

These are some of Leah's favorite games :)

Candyland, "bug game", dice-and-blocks, matching game, dice game, puzzles, etc.

She is such a sweetie... She waits until Grant goes to sleep, and then: "Mommy, howbout we ... play a game!!!" "Momma, can we play something together? Pleeease?" "I never play bug game before! I never play it this day!"

Blue Angels

Our kids (particularly Grant) sure love airplanes, so when we heard that the Blue Angels were coming to town, we thought it would be fun to go watch. We walked over to the nearby nature trail (which goes right along Lake Washington) and got a nice view of the planes from afar. They did fly right over us a couple of times, which was loud enough to scare poor Grant, but I think they had fun overall :)

Watching...:


Here they come!:



Leah got a little bored after a while and sat in the grass:

July Family Trip

During the first week of July, we went to stay at my parents' house for a week (the same week that my brother and his family came in town, and shortly after another brother moved back to Washington). We had so much fun all together! I took an embarrassing amount of pictures, but I guess it's okay since I have some really cute ones and lots of memories! Here are the highlights of our fun week!

On the way down, we stopped at the Brown & Haley shop and Cabela's. Then we visited with Grandma and Grandpa Brewer at their house and played with them at the park before starting the festivities with the Caine side:
- We went to the park for some afternoon Fourth of July fun!
- We rode on a train!
- We played outside with water balloons, squirt guns, kiddie pools, and sprinklers!
- We went to the beach (Grant's first trip)!
- We had a picnic at the park!
- We played a lot with special "grandpa and grandma toys" :)
- We had a movie night!

Dah-gee!

Okay, so I am behind on this blog, but here is a cute video in the meantime. Grant loves doggies, and "doggy" is his favorite word (out of a handful) to say. I thought this video captured him perfectly. We adore our little guy!
