THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

Saturday morning we took the kids to our local children’s museum and had so much fun! I had never been before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Dylan had so much fun at all of the exhibits. His favorite was the 3 story climbing ‘tree’. We probably spent an hour just at the tree. In addition to being fun to climb, it was such a cool structure – I loved the flying bathtub! They also had plenty to do for Alexis, each exhibit had a baby area for her to stay entertained. We had such a good time! I can’t wait to go back!

I couldn’t get a good picture of even most of the climbing tree, but here are a few cool parts:

This was his second favorite spot was the exhibit with a bunch of different cars and motorcycle. He loved the pencil because it had a spot for Alexis to ride with him.

SUMMER STYLES FOR BOYS

Summer officially begins in just a few weeks, but with the heat, it seems like summer has been here for awhile already! I started shopping for Dylan’s summer clothes and thought I would share some of my favorites. This winter, he wanted to dress himself and he wore a dog shirt 90% of the time. So far this spring, he has been open to more options, so I hope with some fun graphic tee’s and keeping it comfy, he will continue to let me help. Oh, and I hid the dog shirt. Looking for some options for the sweet girl in your life? Check out Lisa’s picks for her daughter over at Adie’s Corner.

Love this polo for something nicer than a t-shirt. I am thinking about it for some family photos. Gap
I love Dyl in a tank. He has a couple and he always looks so cute. Paired with his swim trunks, great for the pool or the beach. Gap
I love the new Gap surf graphic tee’s. Gap
Slightly embarrassing, but this is the third summer we have bought these shorts. Dylan loves them & they look nice too. Old Navy
I love these striped swim trunks. Paired with the tank or graphic tee, so cute for the pool. Gap
I recently bought the bright blue shorts and love them!! Old Navy
Dylan loves cars and trucks, but especially fire trucks, so when I see one on a cute t-shirt, I grab it for him. Gap
He loves his crocs and he can put them on himself, so I continue to buy them. These Mickey ones cuter than I imagined they would be in the store. His are red. Crocs
Another one of the new surf tee’s at Gap. Gap

LAS VEGAS

We spent last week in Las Vegas…with the kids. While it wasn’t a Vegas trip from our 20’s, we had a great time. It was chilly and windy, so we took the kids to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and to see the water show at Bellagio. We did manage one quick trip to the pool before it got too cold.

While we were only gone for a couple of days, it was so nice being with the kids and visiting with Nick’s family. It has been a long time since we were as unplugged from technology as we were last week! Dylan is already asking to go back, he loved the different casinos, especially his “castle”.

15 MONTHS

I cannot believe how quickly time has gone. When I look at my calendar, Dylan is 15 months old, when I look at him, he is still my tiny baby – even though he’s more independent with each passing day. He needs a hair cut in a major way, but mama isn’t ready for him to look the part of a little boy, even though he is. Here are some things we love and want to remember about him now:
