July Fun!

Fourth of July Celebration at Pleasant Hill UMC

Baker got to ride in the wagon parade.

Ridin' in patriotic style...

Slip 'n Slides will be around forever!

Baker had a blast riding at Nana's and Granddaddy's. Head 1st!

Pure excitement!!!

Mickey even got to ride.

Oak Mountain Petting Farm with Daddy

"Look, Horsey!"

Friday backyard fun.

Baker and I are always looking for something fun to do on Friday afternoons. We didn't have to look far this day.

It started with a red popsicle. Yummy!

Then we needed to clean up the sticky.

Baker's ready to ride...the Mickey Mouse sunglasses complete the outfit.

Okay, so I've got alot of updating to do. In July we got to spend a long weekend with the Baker side of the family. Most of them were meeting Baker Baswell for the first time. We stayed in Pigeon Forge and had the opportunity venture in some fun activities like whitewater rafting, visiting a petting farm and picking blackberries. Baker loved the petting farm. Here is some footage from his conversations with the animals.

Yum!

Baker enjoyed a mid-afternoon yellow and pink cupcake at his friend, Ava's birthday party. I love the icing beard!

Some July splashin' fun!

Our backyard has quickly become "splashtown". However, lately Chief's pool has been getting more action from a certain little boy. A couple of days ago Baker was in the backyard "helping" Eric work on the lawn mower and decided Chief's pool looked like lots more fun. He was completely clothed - socks, shoes, clothes, real diaper. He had a ball!!!!

Below are some pics of a Baswell "splashtown" afternoon with Baker and Kate. They had so much fun. Takes me back to the days with Water Willy...remember...it was like this bug that you hooked up to the hose pipe and his hair was made of tubing that would squirt everywhere. Those were the days...sprinklers are awesome!!!!!
