This kid cracks me up!

Shane and I went to the pool today with Josh's sister Rachel and his little brother Matthew.  Thankfully, Shane has a blast in the pool because that is where we will probably be living for the next year and a half!  He kicks and splashes the whole time, and tries to drink the water (gross!).  Well he lured in a cute little girl with all that splashing and she started grabbing his hands and splashing them, much to his delight.  She was 4 and wearing a little pink bikini and was one of the most adorable little girls I have ever seen.  He was laughing and squealing and patiently had his arms ready just waiting for the opportunity, then she came close enough and sure enough, he grabbed her face with both hands, pulled her in, and gave her a kiss.  Over, and over, and over again.  Where is your camera when you need it?  The little girl thought it was hilarious and so did her mom.  She kept putting her face right up so he could do it, and of course he couldn't resist.  Well, she liked it until he bit her!  Even then she forgave him and came back for more.  My son the player.  Is it bad that I think this  is hilarious?  Hopefully it's just a phase, or we might be in for trouble with this kid!  

Shane Faces

So my sister Shannon has a fancy dancy camera that she brought to the beach, and she was able to capture some great faces of Shane's that I usually try to get but miss with my little Kodak Easyshare.  And I just couldn't resist posting them.  Just ignore the Kelly faces, it's unfortunate that double chins are cute on babies, but not adults!  

This Week in Pictures

This week we went to the beachhouse in Bethany Beach, Delaware with my mom's side of the family, one of my favorite weeks of the year. I've tried my hardest to narrow down the pictures, but I can't promise it's short! Here is a recap of the week, we had a great time and were sad to leave the beach but happy to realize that soon we'll be living at one! We flew to D.C. and Shane was so excited that he stayed up pretty late. But at 7 am the next morning when the sun came up, he decided he was already on Eastern time. "Look mom, I'm on Eastern time!"
"No you're not sweetheart"

We got to the beach on the Fourth of July

Shane enjoyed playing in the sand

Everything's more fun at the beach

"Does my belly look fat in this mom?"

He dipped his feet in the ocean

And played in the pool

Rode bikes

Went to the boardwalk and tried shaved ice for the first time. He wasn't so sure about it at first,

But then he saw the light

He had fun with girl cousins! Quite different than boys

As the resident manly man he gave them piggy back rides (okay not really)

But he did love pulling their hair

And tried to kiss them of course. One time I overheard 4 year old Kate politely telling him, "No thank you Shane."

Then he flew home and had a grand old time. I'm hoping for some of that to carry over to the 10 hour car ride back to Manti tomorrow, but I won't count on that for the long flight to Dominica! Notice he's strategically dressed in his "Fly Guy" outfit. Don't you just hate when parents do that? ;)
