Fishing with Daddy and Papaw Dave

On Labor Day, Dave came over and he and Russell took the boys out fishing in the little pond in our neighborhood. Drew got a fishing pole for Christmas last year and has been getting pretty good at casting it around the backyard. They had a lot of fun and Drew is already asking when they can go again!

Such concentration

So proud...

My cute boys

I know it's been absolutely forever since I posted (I'm actually writing this in October, but will post date it back to the end of August when the pictures were taken), but such is life with 2 small boys! Here's a sampling of their latest cuteness.

Drew playing with our water table

Josh checking everything out from on top of the "playground"
Danger: Boys at Play!

Fireman Josh

Russell and the boys at "Touch a Truck" (it was REALLY HOT)

Drew playing at the park

Wrestling brothers

This looks like a good place to sit

A couple random pics

Here's the latest batch of random happenings around the Wiggins' house. Don't you wish you were here?

Josh is ready for his run

Drew is practicing writing his name (seen here with chalk on the back patio - done with minimal assistance!!)
2 silly boys making "silly faces"

Josh is starting to play with Legos independently (and properly)

A rare moment when Drew cooperated for a picture (probably because I'd just taken his brother's picture...)

Daddy makes a great horse!!

Also, check out this post on "My Other Blog" that shows the neat way we had lunch today!

Our Sliding Monster!

No fear here! Josh is a sliding pro!!! (Actually makes me feel better since now I'm not as worried that he'll just walk off the edge!! He just figured out how to climb up the ladder this week...)

Fun Times in July

July has been another great month. As many of you know, the problem with active boys, is that it is often difficult to get good pictures of them (we've got lots of blurry ones, or the backs of heads, and one or two all out "misses" with no subject at all - probably a little bit of operator error on Dad). Here are some of our favorites.

One of the few where Drew would smile,
we'll work on looking at the camera some other time.

"Please don't talk to me while Elmo is on"

The boys and their momma

The boys and their cartoons

"Tackle Daddy!!!"

Gotta be quick to get a smile, but this one

was worth the effort. (It was picture #7)

Water Fun

One of the boys favorite ways to pass the time is to play outside, and anytime they can get wet in the process, they're pretty happy about it. Enjoy a sampling of the fun!

Is this fun?

I'm not sure either . . .

Yeah, this is fun!

Happy 4th of July!!!

We had a fun weekend with the Wiggins family in Louisiana at Papaw Dave & Mimi-isha's B&B.

Happy Birthday America

We found an old tricycle that Drew fell in love with.
