Tangled Up With Tangled

Graham absolutely LOVES the movie "Tangled."  Portions of the movie are viewed pretty regularly at our house (we've only sat through the entire thing 2 or 3 times).  Here he is sitting on Mommy and Daddy's bed and enjoying a few minutes of "Tangled" before bedtime.

Some More of Summer

We're spending the remainder of our summer playing outside, or as G says "Side!  Side!"


We've also contiued to have fun in the water.  We visited the pool at the rec center that my parents belong to in Evergreen.  It was nice that it was inside, so we didn't have to fight for pool space on one of the many VERY hot days we have had this summer.  It will also be fun to be able to go when the weather gets cooler.  Graham is a very thoughtful and cautious little boy.  He doesn't rush into anything and doesn't take a lof risks when it comes to new play environments.  On the day we brought him to the pool, there was the sweetest little girl (she was 3, almost 4) to show him the ropes and help him get past some of his intial hesitation.  He ended up having a great time!

Bubble Boy

What's more fun than using bubbles to make a beard or a crazy hairdo?

Summer So Far

Hard to believe that summer is nearly half over.  The Pretekin's have been busy.  Graham and I have been having a blast being at home together.  He loves to go outside, although with many 100 degree + days in June, we didn't get out as much as we would like.  We did however enjoy a trip to one of the local spraygrounds and a vacation to my grandparents' cottage in Michigan. 

Sprayground Adventure:
No fear of the water

At the playground, driving a car

Floating in the water with Mommy and Grandpa (or as Graham has taken to call him, "Papa")
