Yummy Yummy Ice Cream !!

The other day Grant and I were outside playing with the water ball and on the swingset and we took a break to eat some ice cream. I remember when I was little eating push pops. So I bought some, sherbert. I haven't seen any other flavor before. He loved them!! Although I had to push it up for him! He got a bit messy but who cares he just got all wet again afterwards!!

Aquarium!

Monday and Tuesday we went to visit Boomer's sister and her family in Baton Rouge. We also went to the aquarium in New Orleans on Tuesday. Can I just say that place is ginormous!! It took 2 hours to tour it and that's rushing a few of the displays. Grant had such a great time! He didn't like being in his stroller much. He wanted to be out touching the glass. His expressions are just priceless! Those of you who were at his birthday party know exactly what I am talking about! He did the same thing with the penguins!! One of the little penguins waas playing with him in the corner of the glass case. He just yelled and jumped up and down. People kept telling us that his expressions were so funny!!

Playing in the Fountains

Gosh looking back at all my pictures, I can tell how far behind I am in the blogging world. A couple of weeks ago, we took Grant to the fountains here in town. Since it is still new, we were the only ones there, which was nice. Grant was hesitant as first but then LOVED it. He chased the water coming and going from each hole. Then he would put his foot over the hole and water would shoot it off of it! He had a blast! Luckily it was a nice day. Not too hot, nice breeze. But the fountains are very well shaded by an oak tree! Smart person! But poor Grant was shaking like a leaf he was so cold! His poor lips were turning blue. So before he got hypothermia, we decided to go! He didn't like out decision too much! He cried when we had to go. I can't wait to go back!!

Kolton got this water beach ball for Grant's birthday. It is so much fun! Grant LOVES IT!! He will run through the water and yell, "WATER, WATER!Like Water!" Then he will stop and come eat my sandwich!! Little monkey!! Thanks Kolton!!

Busy Busy Busy

You would think that being out for the summer one would be relaxing and taking it easy...oh but no! Those who know me, know that I don't stop! I HAVE to have a project of some sort going! SO... I decided to paint my kitchen AND living room. The LR got thrown in because there is no "breaking point" in the wall between it and the kitchen so we had to carry the paint throughout. It took about 4 days total. I am exhausted and sore! I think that my calves will be shaking permanently from standing on that ladder!! Here are a couple of before and after shots of the kitchen. I didn't do the living room before..sorry..I forgot!:)
Before: It was a goldy color. Pretty but our crown molding and cabinetry is an antique white so it was "blendy"! So we went for Vermont View..an Olive Green.





After...the green. I didn't have everything on the wall in the kitchen before I retook the pictures. I moved the bakers rack somewhere else and put a large mirror there. And I did not put the white frame by the door there either. It just didn't go with all the off white stuff. It feels good to have it all done and cleaned up and it all back in its place. I think I am a little OCD in a way...
