Two hams

These two little boys are a trip.  The one on the left is Alex, who is Tom and Maranda's youngest boy.  Jack is on the right.  I haven't posted in a while so I'm trying to refresh your memory.  Alex will be 1 in August and Jack will be right behind him turning 1 in October.  The two of them combined weigh right at 50 pounds (possibly more since my son has more rolls than a bakery).    Alex can commando crawl, but Jack is still pretty immobile (and I am not at all upset by that).   These two little boys have smiles that light up rooms, but boy can they duke it out.  Try putting a cheerio in front of the two of them and see what happens...it could get out of hand.  The middle picture is them fighting over a toy.  Neither one really wants the bucket.  Neither wants the other one to have the bucket

Trouble 1 and Trouble 2

He does not look happy about this picture.

He dumped the pot of dirt on himself shortly after this.

Swing set

Okay so I get they are both hanging off the edge.  I promise I was close enough to catch.

We finally picked out a swing set!!!  Nothing says, "I love the summer," more than assembling a 2,000 piece swing set outside in the heat.  I knew it would be bad when I couldn't even help Brian lift the boxes.  It was even worse when we opened the boxes.  Not even a swing was put together.  My first thought was actually pretty selfish.  It was something along the lines of, "I am going to owe Brian big time for this one."

After the swing set was assembled, it was hard to keep Cameron off of it...until someone let me supervise him.  One morning I forgot to wipe off the "super speedy" slide.  No big deal.  Ha!  The combination of silky nylon shorts and a super speedy surface proved detrimental to the future enjoyment of our slide.  Cameron picked up enough speed to go airborne after his tush left the bottom of the slide.  Kids are not cats...they do not always land on their feet.  The child hit butt, back, then head before finally skidding to a hault about 2 feet away from the slide.  He hasn't been down the slide again. 

In case you were wondering Jack hates the swing set.  Hate is too strong of a word.  He strongly dislikes being put in the swing.  Big boys apparently like their center of gravity and their lunch to stay put.
