4th of July

Sadly I don't have any pictures of Graham's second 4th of July but i wanted to write about it so I can remember it ... 

It was a fun day! Preston worked until 6:15 then once he was off we (including my parents) met his parents at his aunts house and swam in their pool. Graham wasn't so sure about the water so he didn't get it much but it was still fun! We also BBQed and then did the whole firework thing! Graham liked some of the fireworks but not the loud ones. 

The next day we went to his aunts house and swam again. Graham still didn't like the water but warmed up to it a little more. I wish I could have gotten him in swim lessons this year! But I will definitely be doing that next year. 

Catch up again!

This is Graham's lawn mower that he loves so much. He pushes it around everywhere when we are outside. I really think he thinks he's helping Preston by mowing which is the cutest thing. He's the best helper ;) 

Graham brought me a pair of Preston's shoes the other day and tried to put them on his feet. He is so cute and looks so little with them on. Before I know it though he will have huge size 13 feet like his dad I'm sure. 

Graham thought it was so great to be sitting in the front seat. He even knows, and tried to put the key in the ignition which is strange because he is still rear facing in his car seat and hasn't ever seen Preston or I do it. 

Daddy's big helper! 

Cloth diaper baby! We LOVE cloth diapers!! Graham does too. I would never go back to disposables unless of course you go on a trip and aren't able to be near a washer. Cloth diapers are so so easy too! Graham has never had a diaper rash (aside from a weird allergic reaction on his back which was not caused by the cloth diapers). And the best part is they are nice better for my little guy because they don't have the bad chemicals that disposable diapers do, they are better for the environment (yes I care about the environment, and we don't have to spend money every month on diapers OR Wipes ... Yes we use cloth wipes too!! Maybe I'll do a whole post dedicated to cloth diapers!! I'm sure you all would love that ;) hahaha

Water thief! 

Love my little man! 

He loves Bob aka VeggieTales. He loves listening to the cd in the car too. 

Day in Chico

Since Preston only works one job now and is officially done with summer school we are able to see each other more often and spend time doing fun things which right now mostly include working out in our backyard and watching graham have a good time with his play lawn mower and any thing else he can get his hands on. 

On one of Preston's days off this past week we decided to go to Chico and look around in some thrift shops. We had to make the trip to go to Costco anyways so it was the perfect opportunity. We walked around downtown Chico, got some coffees at The Naked Lounge which is the coolest little coffee shop ever (nothing like the same, lol) and then decided to go to Burgers and Brew for some burgers and let me say it was the best veggie burger I've had. Next, we decided to let graham run some of his energy off at Bidwell park. They have the coolest park for little ones with so min stuff to do. Graham loved it! 

And to finish this post off I would like to say I was the last person to think id be seen wearing a pair of these: 

Birkenstocks! But they are back in style and in my opinion so cute! Don't go wearing them with a tye dye shirt though!! I wanted a pair so bad and Preston let me get some! I was so excited!!! 

This day was so fun! I think there will be many more trips to Bidwell park in the near future!
