Cousin Graham

Xavier and Graham

From the back-side!

Making them pose on the stairs for a pic! 

Jake, X, Bill and Graham

(at least 2 of them are looking!) 

Chillin in the back-yard!

So Jake's cousin Bill and his wife Stacey have Graham who is about 10 days younger than X! We were so excited to move into our new house and be closer to them so we could hang out. But of course as we moved in, they moved away to IL. These 2 are pretty similar in weight and height, they even in these pics look like they have similar hair. Graham has some beautiful thick hair though, X's is a little more fine and some curls (depending on the day!) Thankfully we got to say goodbye to Graham and Bill before they moved!

Swim Lessons

The last day of Swim class. He actually didn't cry! I don't know what it was but he cried every day, for the whole half hour of swimming. It didn't matter if I sat and watched or was out in the parking lot in my car (yes I could still hear him crying) he didn't want to be with someone else in the water.

Last day and he let Brandy put him on his back and kick!

One more time!

What's up Mom? Thanks for making me take swim lessons.

Thanks to Brandy and Mr Sharp for continuing to work with X for the 2 weeks even though he cried. The best part about swim lessons is that when we go to the pool and I tell him to kick, he kicks. He will go on his back or his tummy, blows bubbles. So at least he learned something!

More summer!

What better way to enjoy your popsicle than in the pool!

Cheese!!!

Caden was pretty smart. He gave Xavier a bite of his popsicle so that he could have a taste of Xavier's! It was so nice that they were sharing!

Watching Disney!

Random summer pics!

Red the pony at Grandi and Pops house! Xavier loves to ride him. He is pretty good at getting on and off by himself and he can almost get him going as high and fast as his daddy used to do!

Watering Gigi's flowers, a nightly tradition!

Xavier LOVES hoses and the water that comes out! He doesn't even mind that the water shoots him in the face, so long as he can get a drink!

He even drinks from his watering can! :)

Weekend with all the kids!

Xavier cheesing for the camera!

Xavier, Chlo Bug and Caden. Chloe is not really as big as Caden although this picture certainly looks that way.......

One of them said something funny!

Aww! Best friends!

Caden must have been in the kissing mood! Giving Bugs a kiss too!

Caden loved the Gator in Gigi's "pool" he would run, jump and slide into the pool and onto the gator.

Bugs climbing on Xavier and Caden's chairs. They were both pretty quick to let her know the chairs were NOT hers. It is also pretty funny, but when Xavier goes out to the porch to the chairs he always sits in the left chair. When Caden goes out he always sits in the right chair. Its like they picked chairs last summer and then remembered who's chair was whos!

Ashley and Brady went to Brooks n Dunn concert one Friday night so we had C and C and Xavier for the day and night! We had a lot of fun together

4th of July!

While staying at my moms this summer Xavier loved a lot of things! A top love was the hose and the pool I guess. Every night we would go outside and just play in the hose. Sometimes his clothes would get totally wet and sometimes he wasn't wearing any clothes! :)

We got a mini flag at Toys R Us that he loved waving around!

He also loved to chew on it. Happy 4th of July!

Gigi, X and Opa on 4th of July at Aunt Mimi's house

Aunt Mimi, X and Mama (still has his flag!)

It was a rather quiet July 4th this year. Well other than some of my parents neighbors lighting off illegal fireworks around 10:30, but other than that just a peaceful/restful holiday. I believe (gotta think back) that X had bronchitis and an ear infection the Friday before the 4th. Only his 2nd ear infection and first Bronchitis, which came with a nasty sounding cough! A Z-pac for kids and he was pretty much back to his regular ornery self by Saturday!
