Backyard Fun

Matt surprised all of us tonight when he showed up in the backyard with his bathing suit on! Swimming was a nightly ritual for us at the old house, so we are always looking for new ways to fill the evening with the boys before the sun goes down. Tonight they got their second round of playing in the hose, but this time it was Matt providing all the entertainment!


This one is my favorite, Ollie was practically recreating the Tommy Boy scene of "I'm a maniac!" He was already waving his arms all around so we got him to shout "I'm a maniac" and he didn't mind at all because it got us all laughing...

Ollie would only let Matt control the water for so long before it was his turn...


One of his favorites is drinking out of the hose, and I love all his expressions!



He is a boy through and through!

One of Ollie's chores is watering the potted plants, this poor little tree is slowly making its way back to life. This tree is special because it's a pomegranate tree that we got shortly after he was born. Pomegranate is Jess's favorite fruit and it used to sit outside the casita bedroom window where she stays when she comes to visit. I think of her every time I see it and can't wait till we can plant it at our permanent home so Ollie can eat pomegranates from it some day. It's had a rough time with the move but there are still green leaves and now Ollie gets to take care of it every day.

Once the yard was soaked it was time to run the water off and play a little backyard basketball!



 This is his proud look back to me to make sure I saw him make a basket...

Won't be long before Jed is giving him a real run for the ball...

 For now he loves watching his big brother play...



A Slam Dunk!

Jed really does have an obsession for balls, looks like he is already posing for a team picture ;)
