Summer :)

Alex eating a popsicle out on our porch for one of the first times.  Sucking on the empty wrapper.

Big mouthful...lots of juice dripping..

He knew just what to do!

Studying with Daddy

Fun in the pool in the backyard

Our gorgeous lillies!

Strong boy hanging from the shower rod :)

Spending a quiet morning with Papa reading books

Mmmmmm strawberries!

Totally sacked out after a day at the waterpark

He LOVES the waterpark now!  He gets totally soaked and loves to get splashed in the face.

A little naked lawn-mowing after tubby time.  Hehehe :-D

Trying to get ahold of Piper's snacks at a Mommies playdate at the waterpark

Helping grandpa mow the lawn.

He methodically put all his barnyard animals inside of his book.

Indy 500

Every year we go to Indianapolis for the Indy 500 and a reunion of sorts with my mom's side of the family.  Here are some photos of our trip:

Alex and grandpa hanging out at the parade.

Cool dude.

Feeding grandpa a cracker

Dick Vitale.  Our parade seats were awesome!

Walking up to our seats

This car caught on fire right in front of us

Cleaning up the fire with big ol' shammies...

The winner, Helio Castroneves, right after winning

Helio climbing the fence.  (He's down in the bottom left hand corner above the white-haired guy's head :)

We celebrated Alex's birthday again with the family.

Still running...

Crazy hair from the sunscreen :)

Weeeeee!

Hanging out on his birthday.

The Smoker clan stopped by on his birthday to try out his new sprinkler.

Goofy.

Climbing, climbing, climbing....always.

Going UP the slide.  Of course.
