Pool time

The Hankins joined us on Saturday afternoon for a little swim.

Hutson loves Big Tim...

 

He also loves Popsicles....

Just chillin'...

Wheelie loves to swim too, but when he saw crackers on the ledge of the pool his little legs kicked into overdrive to get to them...

We are very excited for Papa and Grammy to visit us from Oregon this week.  They arrive tomorrow night and stay for two whole weeks!  I'm guessing there will be lots of pool time, and maybe a few projects that will get completed and some ice cream consumed while they are here.  There are also birthdays to celebrate... My mom's birthday is July 1, and even though she will be in Hawaii, we will still celebrate for her without her.  July 8th is Jerry and my birthday, and its a big one for Jer, he will be officially out of his 30's!!  Then on the 16th is Jerry Sr.'s birthday and we will be celebrating the big 7-0 for him.  Stay tuned for pictures!

Happiest little boy in the world....

Our neighbor was kind enough to let a little tractor enthusiast ride along....

Everyday we pass this blue tractor at the neighbors house, and everyday Hut talks about it.  If it isn't there he says 'mama blue tractor working, blue tractor mow grass', and if it is there he says 'mama, blue tractor sleeping'.  Jer said he was so excited to be able to climb up there and play.  Then as they were getting down, our other neighbor came chugging along in his green tractor, which Hut knows and screams "JOHN DEERE TRACTOR".  He was nice enough to take Hut out to mow some grass with him...

thats right... we make our 2 year old mow the grass and he couldn't be happier.

What the ...

is this...?

This is the creepiest catapillar I have ever seen.  Usually catapillars are somewhat cute and harmless... this little bastard destroyed our tomato plant in under 24 hours... of course he had help from his little friend...

this is my poor tomato...

After a little research I found out that these little destroyers are called Tomato Hornworms and are very destructive to plants if not removed immediately.  They turn into the hummingbird moths... although ours aren't turning into anything other than fertilizer.  More info on them here.
