A Little Boy and His Ice Cream Cone

It has been a hot miserable couple weeks here in the desert. We live about 40 miles from Death Valley so we are used to the heat but the last couple weeks have been a special kind of sticky gross hot. We are lucky enough to have a pool but even that only offers a certain amount of relief. On Saturday after we got out of the pool I put Nixon out on the patio with his first very own ice cream cone. He was in heaven and the pictures are priceless.

Big Brother opted for an Otter Pop. We go through a lot of those.

Mmmm lets see what it tastes like if I smear it on the ground a little (yes I aloud this because i am that mom).

Oh ya that's some good stuff.

Cooper decided he needed an ice cream cone too.

Isn't he handsome?

Fish face!

Want some dad?

Even his little sticky fingers are cute. Happy summer! Nicole

Legos

Two of Cooper's most favorite things are Legos and dinosaurs. I recently discovered that Logos makes a line of dinosaur sets. To say that these are Cooper's favorite things on the planet would be putting it mildly. Since we have a 9 month old in the house Cooper has to be careful where he plays with his Legos so he spends a lot of time playing with them on our kitchen counter. On this particular day I was working on Fun-fetty cake pops (we'll talk more about those later) for my sister-in-law's birthday party. Here are a few pictures that I couldn't help but share. Isn't he such a handsome boy?

And a little taste of what I was doing while Cooper was catching dinosaurs. Papa Steve came to visit yesterday. Cooper got a new dinosaur Lego set with a Triceratops... More Lego fun to come! Nicole

New Girl

We recently decided to cut back on some things in our household. One of those things was our DirecTV. We didn't really watch all that much TV anyways. We replaced it with NetFlix and Hulu. So instead of watching HGTV while I am folding laundry I have been brousing thru the many options that NetFlix and Hulu offer. This morning I cam across a real gem. The New Girl (on Fox) staring Zooey Deschaneld is my new favorite show! It is so funny in a mildly raunchy way. If you havent checked it out you should!
