Splash!!

I took Cohen over to swim with his buddie Breckin on Saturday. Boy did they have a good time on this slide.. they are such good little swimmers and SO brave!! (FYI: Its looks like Tenille is being mean pushing Breckin down the slide but he went down the slide on his own about 10x before i got the camera out!)

Shadows

I don't have any pictures to go along with this post but Cohen has been doing the cutest and funnest things lately. So the other night he was playing with a flashlight and he was showing me the light on the wall... so i stuck my hand in front of it made a shadow puppet (as i called it)on the wall. Well... Cohen was quite intrigued by this i wish everyone could have seen his little face lite up! He was sure that was something real talking to him (he totally looked right past my hand and only saw that thing on the wall talking to him!) Then he went from being completely fascinated by it to being terrified, so I put my hand down and tried to show him it was only my hand making a shadow from the light. As I'm talking he is looking all around wondering where this creature has gone ( i could help but laugh it was just too cute!) he starts walking around the house looking all over the walls and than all of a sudden (like they had not existed to him before now) he notices shadows from everything... And he is completely freaked out! Poor little guy is standing in the middle of the living room and every direction he looks there they are! He didn't start screaming or anything he was just extremely worried and ran to me like he thought they were coming out to get him!

So that was about a week ago and hes still little leery of the shadows but he understands now that he can make a little "guy" with his hands. Just tonight at Mamoms Cohen picked up the flashlight held it up to the wall and said "hi" with his hand in front of the light and looked at Mamom and said "guy..guy" She has no idea what he was doing and talking about.. I'm glad i was there to explain because i think she would have been trying to figure out what he was doing all night!!

I LOVE this age i wish i could freeze time and keep him the way he is right now forever! But i know i cant, so i wanted to write this down so i could look back and remember how beautiful and innocent a almost two year old is.. I love watching him discover the world!

Tennessee Trip

Happy very late 4th of July! We hope every one had a good one... we had a very fun one this year. On Thursday morning we left early (not as early as we planned .. but still morning hours!) and drove up to Tennessee for the weekend. My Aunt and Uncle have a house on Norris lake and so generously invited us to come spend the weekend. It was quite a ride getting to the house (surprisingly no one got carsick) but once we got there it was well worth it! The house was beautiful the view from the deck was amazing! Thanks Uncle Jim and Aunt Frankie for sharing this wonderful place with us.... we had a blast and it was so great to see every one and meet some new family members! Here's some pictures of our trip..enjoy :)


Cohen's first road trip ... he was such a good boy!

Beautiful Tennessee... view from the back deck!



Daddy and Cohen making there way (long way) down to the dock.... and taking a little break to enjoy the view.


This could easily be Cohen's favorite toy ever... the bubble gun! He was so happy he could make the bubbles by himself. He tries to so hard to blow bubbles but what usually happens either is he blows way to hard or he puts the wand in his mouth.. neither ever actually makes a bubble! Lots of thanks to Aunt Frankie for all the fun toys and baby proofing the house !
My dad found a new fishin buddy!
Fun times on the boat....
Trent and Kenzi showing everyone how real "tubers" tube.....

Benjamin and Cohen... they were watching the "bubbles" behind the boat. Could they be any cuter?! :)

Taking over the wheel for a while....Thanks again Morris family!!
