Catch up time!

So we have done a lot of fun things and I am finally getting around to do the posting. With playgroup we have come to love the Murray outdoor swimming pool and so I finally took my camera to capture the slide. Isaac could just do the slide the whole time, but those stairs will get to you after a while. We have so much fun playing in the pool.
Then on Friday night Gary and I had a date night. We went and saw Tropic Thunder (which I don't recommend) but it was so nice to go out just the 2 of us. Isaac had a great time playing with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Steve and Annie.
On Saturday we went to the Bees baseball game. It was so nice and they actually played well. We even stayed to watch the fireworks. During the game I leaned over to Gary and said we are in foul ball territory and the next inning Gary caught a foul ball (with his surgical hand) while holding onto his ice cream cone in his other hand. His hand was a little red afterwards, but hey we got a souvenier.
On Sunday when we were getting ready to leave the house, Isaac fell into the corner of our coffee table and immediately had a bump. I have no idea how his forehead didn't split open, but I am very thankful it didn't. Here he is trying to point to his bump. We held him down and put ice on his head to help with the swelling. That was fun trying to get him to hold still. That night we took a drive up to Brighton and walked around Silver Lake. The temperature was perfect, but the mosquitoes were all over so unfortunately we had to walk quickly. I also bought some new glasses finally so here is a picture of them. It is really nice to get stylish glasses after wearing my lab glasses that I wore in Iowa several years ago.
Lastly, here are some pics of Isaac and mom having fun in the backyard. My sunflowers finally bloomed and they are so beautiful. I can't believe how big they are. Oh and if anyone wants tomatoes - COME AND GET THEM!!!

Such cute pictures! I love that last one of Isaac, and the sunflowers are beautiful. Your new glasses are super cute too! I've been wanting to go up to Silver Lake sometime, maybe I'll have to fit that in this weekend or something...I've never even been there - your pictures look pretty. Oh, and I had to giggle that you mentioned Gary caught the ball with his "surgical hand" - I'm glad I'm not the only wife that thinks that way :)
