In June, 2013, or, What's Happening with the Wards Lately!

Summer is in full swing and the Wards have been busy enjoying it!  We spent the first weekend in June up in Northwest Arkansas visiting Bunky A and Aunt Steph and Baby E and their new house (awesome!) and celebrating Bunky A's birthday.  Alas, I only got a couple of pictures from that weekend:

Ride 'em cowboy!



Does this look like a man who just turned 32?


Jones and I also made a trip up to Broken Arrow and had lots of fun!

We played in the sprinklers with Pepaw!

 



 

 

I think this picture/all of these pictures of the sprinklers are so sweet.  Jones was not having any of the sprinklers until Pepaw got into the game!  Then they ran back and forth and back and forth, lots of squealing and giggling from the Jones-man.  He would also run at an angle a lot, so that Pepaw ran through the sprinkler and Jones kind of did an end-run around it, and he would giggle at Pepaw, having to get wet.

We played in the dirt in Nana's flowerbed!

 

Truth be told, I didn't really know what he was up to for awhile.  He and my dad were around the corner, and I thought dad was just spraying him with the water hose, but then I thought, "Huh, he's staying pretty still over there."  And then my dad goes, "Y'all should really see what he's doing over here."  He was helping Nana with her landscaping :o)

 

We went swimming at Nana and Pepaw's neighborhood pool!

 

 

He swam, and swam, and swam, and swam - the child is a fish!  He would jump, and as soon as he hit the water he'd say, "Again!"  Then he would say, "I wanna swim!" and we would let him swim around the pool, or he'd get on Pepaw's back and ride along while Pepaw swam.  He's not even remotely afraid of the water, which is great, but means you have to watch him like a hawk - he'll jump in on his own without anyone to catch him, and he'll attempt to get into the water without floaties.  So, you know, we're always on high alert when we're at the pool.

 

 

 

We got to "drive" with Pepaw!

 

 

And that's just a couple of weekends!  We're loving the summertime!
