We ended our day by watching Fireworks-AKA Boom Boom. We had no idea how Caleb would react to the loud noises and bright sky but he LOVED them. We got there way too early to get a good seat and he did OK waiting and playing in the grass.
Caleb and Daddy waiting for the big show!
This is how he watched the Fireworks. Such a sweet boy!
The Finale- I love fireworks and was so glad that we got to see them as a family this year.
Caleb and I were playing at the Playground in our neighborhood and we felt raindrops but I questioned if it was going to last. Needless to say, minutes later we were in the midst of a million hard raindrops. I ran back home pulling Caleb in the wagon and laughing so hard at the same time. He was so excited to eat his apple at the park (but we never go to it), so as soon as we walked in the house with wet clothes he asked for "Apple".
It was the first time I never cut up his apple and he loved it!
He has a mind of his own and I am so thankful for these sweet memories with him. We have had such precious times together this summer so far!
The Smiths' have become dear friends to us this past year. We met them last summer and quickly our lives and friendships just blossomed. Both our families have had great joys and heartaches this past year and I can see God's hand in why we had these friends during this season. I'm sad to see them move back home to TN in September. But I am so thankful they can be close to family and feel settled for the girls to grow-up.
Precious Zi was born this year and she is such a treat. We have gotten to watch her while Jona and Rachael had date nights.
Caleb loves doing whatever Zi does and making her laugh:) He wanted so badly to wrestle with her.
Cute chubby checks talking to one another!
At the end of school we always have Water Day. We put out lots of kiddie pools, water tables, anything that squirts, sprinklers, and a huge water slide. Caleb LOVED it all!
He concentrated so hard until he figured out how to get water in the squirter.
The water was rather cold from the sprinklers but he kept going back to it even though it took his breathe away every time.
Caleb wasn't even walking last summer so recently I realized how different this season is going to be for us. I am so excited to be off from work and spending a lot of time just hanging out and without a schedule:) His hair was hanging down in his eyes when it got wet so we got another haircut last week. He loves is going because it is the only time he gets a lollipop. 
Caleb loves to be outisde! So as the weather has gotten warmer we have spent a lot of time in the yard and patio. But with shorts and running around, comes falls and boo-boo's. But Mimi introduced Caleb to Band-Aids and life hasn't been the same since:)
He had his first ice cream cone. I found the greatest mini snack size nutty buddies and he savored every bite.
I thought he wouldn't like the cold texture BUT I was wrong.
Trying to catch the neighbors cat.
It rained for 4 days before the Lois Lodge Walk-a-thon but on Saturday is was just overcast. So, we headed to Freedom Park, registered, got our T-shirts, and walked! 
Our friends, Joe and Amelia, were there so we walked and talked the whole time together.
Caleb loves balloons so every time we passed them he wanted to touch them.
Truly the highlight of the time for Caleb was the ducks. We walked around this huge lake and on one side were all the ducks waiting to be fed. Before we left we let Caleb run around and feed the ducks our leftover bagels.
