Oregon cannot make up its MIND!
Summer, not summer, summer, not summer...we have been fluctuating up and down for the past 3 months with our weather! One day we have showers and clouds, the next, we are dying of heat! It's unfortunate as Gannon hasn't had much opportunity to play out in the backyard, but we did one weekend where we were able to set up all his stuff so that he could be out in the pool and play in the sand. The yard is not quite what we want it to be, but because we haven't decided if we are going to actually BUY this house, we wanted to invest as little money as possible into it until we decide. Of course now that I've been laid off, we aren't sure what we are going to do though the option to move OUT of Oregon is much more realistic as we chose to stay put simply because of my job with my company. Now the world can be ours! LOL
So here is Gannon enjoying his new pool (that we had to fill twice because the first time, we forgot we have a fricking ski slope and so the round pool turned kidney shaped and all the water sloshed to the bottom - terrible way to build this house and manage the land! No wonder the builder went bankrupt!!!! (That's a WHOLE another story...)
WHAT is it about kids and water?????? And bugs....below is Gannon's new friend the BUG! YUK! I'd rather he bring home frogs and snakes than insects....
Sometimes I can still see the "baby" in Gannon...boy I miss those days, yet I do love how he is able to function as a small human...we can get him to do more stuff for us now...
As soon as we can, we are going to get him signed up for martial arts - I think it is the Asian in him to gives him the natural forms...
Showing us how he holds a bat and swings it....amazingly enough, he has the same form as Duke...where he holds the bat up really high....
Showing us his throw...
Jumping into a very shallow pool...
Then our friends Sheri & Aric came by with their son Brayden to join in the fun!
Thus our attempt at summer begins!
