Lake Hartwell!

We went to Megan's (Uncle Matthew's girlfriend) families' beach house for the weekend to relax and have some fun in the sun. They have a beautiful home on Lake Hartwell, and we had the best time!

Me in my life jacket...am I a cool little dude or what?

I really didn't know what to make of being on the boat...

???

...in fact, I was so overwhelmed, I finally just fell asleep!

The boat ramp however....

...was more my style!

Mommy & Daddy both tried their hand at wakeboarding. Here's a picture of John, I'll spare you a picture of thunder thighs doing her thing! :) We both had a lot of fun, but man, were we sore the next day!

Tantrums and the Terrible Twos!

I read recently that the "Terrible Two's" is an awful description for the phenomenon known as toddler tantrums, because they in fact, usually start around 15 months (check!) and they last until you send the child off to college (oh boy!) Lets hope that's an exaggeration! Tantrum season is upon us. The first couple were hilarious, the public ones are morbidly embarrassing, and then you get to a point where you continue on with what you are doing and find that if you take it with a grain of salt, they are much easier to navigate through until you find your happy child again. What seems to work for us at this stage in the game is diverging all attention to something else, or to help Dylan talk out his frustrations. I'm sure in a lot of ways, the game will change and in some aspects become much easier and in others, that much more of a challenge. Ahhh...the joys of parenting...

Aquarium- Take 2!

John and I took off of work for a family day and took Dylan to the Georgia Aquarium for the 2nd time. Now that he is older, he got an even bigger kick out of it. It was a great day!

Amazed

Look at all of the Frrrishh!


Daddy teaching me about all the different kinds of fish.

Here fishy, fishy, fishy!

The touch tank was my favorite part!

No, I don't wanna leave!

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came and brought Dylan lots of fun toys and treats!

All wrapped up in a Tonka truck Easter basket!

So sweet and happy!

Easter Bunny and Egg Hunt!

Our neighborhood hosted the Easter Bunny and an Egg Hunt for all ages the weekend before Easter.

Dylan really got into finding eggs.

Look what i found!

He got a hand from Poppie for those that were hard to reach!

Happy Easter!

Mickey D's!

We took Dylan to McDonalds and scored a prime seat...right in front of the drive-thru line! He loved watching all of the "Caarrrs!"

Ice Cream!

This is awesome!

All Gone!

It was a really fun day with lots of smiles!

Fun in the Park!

Dead grass is soooo cool!

Leaves are even cooler!

Mommy! Look what i found!

Dylan especially likes the slide! (Notice he is still hanging onto the leaf that he found!)

Weeeeee! In the swings....and of course he still has the leaf. He was so very proud of it!
