Ride a Pony and Sod

 Tater got pony riding lessons from his Papa last week and now he knows how to gallop with his pony. 

 We then went outside so that I could take pictures of the sod they had put down a few weeks ago.  

It's looking so good! 

 Tater was enthralled with watching Papa blow the leaves off of the patio. 

 Of course, on a nice summer evening, the best thing to do is swim in your pool, so Tater helped Papa move the pool outside. 

Thanks Gramma and Papa for a nice evening in the backyard. 

Shelly and Her Girls

 Last Wednesday, Tater, M, and I met up with one of my college friends, Shelly, and her two girls.  While we waited for our playdate to begin, we spent some time in our concrete backyard. 

 He was sticking his face on the glass door. 

 Loving our doggie. 

 Having fun with Shelly and her girls at the farm. 

 Tater with his future bride, B. 

 After hanging out at the farm, they came back to our house for some lunch and play time. 
M and J had a great time playing together.

 He went in for a hug and she moved out of the way.  :) 

 Being silly together

 It took us almost 5 minutes of trying to get one of the kids to take a picture of us. We finally decided that holding it ourselves was the best idea.  :) 

A Water Playdate

 Last week, Tater, M, and I met up with some friends for a water day at the town center.  Unfortunately, we were there on the day when they were cleaning the fountains.  So disappointing, but thankfully, Tater's Gramma let us use Tater's pool and the sprinkler in their backyard.  The kids had a blast and it was nice to enjoy some adult conversation.  

Just wish I'd taken more pics. 

Looking at the kitty inside. 

 

So thirsty!

Tater and M

 Last week, the two older McGirls that I've been keeping this summer were at camp with Dave and their dad, so it was just me, Tater, and M, the youngest McGirl.  We had a ton of fun together. 

We loved putting this puzzle together while Tater napped. 

 

The first day, I helped her, but the next day, she was able to do it all by herself. 

 She was so proud of herself. 

 Reading together

 They loved riding the pony together.

My Handsome Boys

Tater and Ayla

These pictures of Tater and his cousin Ayla are just tooo cute.  

So glad we were able to get some good ones of them together.  I look forward to watching them grow up and be the best of buds (and getting into trouble at Nana and Papa's house.) 

 We asked Tater to get her a kiss.  I was a little early taking the picture, as you can tell.  haha
