Splash!!
It's official!
We have a swimmer!
Cason has been loving going swimming lately. Walking to the pool the other day, he grabbed his "swimmie" and as soon as we arrived, he said "Daddy, you do it!" (Meaning clip his swimmie in the back after he slipped it on). Once he had it on, he confidently jumped into the pool to Daddy and never looked back! So glad he's loving the water!!

Booger picker
There really is no way around it.
Kids pick their noses!
It's a fact.
What we didn't know is that kids can actually get stuff and spread it just by picking their noses. For instance, have you heard of Impetigo? Yeah, until Cason, we hadn't either. Here's our story.
Cason's face had been breaking out off and on throughout the late spring and early summer. We just attributed it to warmer weather, boys getting dirty and possibly baby/childhood acne. "Just keep him bathed and clean and it will go away on it's own" is what we thought.
(a few examples of Cason's breakouts)
Finally one day at Momma G's, Cason's "acne" spread from 1 bump to about 6 bumps within hours! When we picked him up that afternoon, Momma G was worried it might be chicken pox but wasn't really sure. We immediately went to the after hours clinic at Hendersonville Pediatrics. After seeing Cason for maybe 2 minutes, the doctor ruled out chicken pox (amen!) and strep (whew!) and diagnosed him with Impetigo.
On our way to the doctor's office
According to the doctor, Cason would pick his nose and develop a sore. Infection would set in and then as he continued to pick, it would continue to open sores and spread. Gross, right?... he was treated with some oral antibiotics and a topical medicine to treat the infection inside and out. That was great news to this worried Mommy & Daddy!
In other words, he has the Booger Picker disease.
So....
Kids pick their noses,
but this is a great reason to make them try and stop!
Cason was out of school for a few days and chilled at home until his sores cleared up.

Hair all gone!
We have to rewind a little bit.
At the beginning of the summer it was so hot here.
I mean REALLY hot!
Really REALLY hot!
Like Africa hot!
Habanero hot!
Anyway, you get the picture.
We decided it just might be time to give Cason a "big boy haircut" (which actually means a buzz cut) and it would be so much cooler for him this time of the year. His hair is so thick, and when the weather is this warm, he sweats like he's a man working out. So honestly, it was time to shear.
He wasn't too sure about it at first, but then after 2 suckers and a popsicle, he was on board!
Yes it was messy and icky.
Mommy had a steady hand but a hard time seeing how her baby boy somehow morphed into this man-child just by cutting his hair.
Cason really seemed to like it though and said afterwards, rubbing his head, so matter-of-factly
"Hair all gone!"

Post-trip veg-out
There is nothing better after a nice vacation than to have a few days at home to just relax.
Big, homemade breakfast
Pool time (with snacks, of course!)
Ballfield fun with Daddy
(at Big Bubba's Bash for Make-a-Wish)
And, well, this was too cute not to share!

Happy Independence Day!!
For the July 4th holiday, we took a family trip to Atlanta and met up with G&G, Auntie Carol and Aunt Jessie for some Atlanta Braves baseball! We stayed at a really nice 2 bedroom suite so we would have room for everyone. Even had a mini-kitchen, and 3 tvs! The guys were lovin' it. When we arrived, we had just enough time to drop off bags at the hotel, swap the carseat into the van & then head out to the game.
Road trip yummies
Here ye, here ye... We shall go that way!
The King has spoken.
Reading the program before the game.
CHIPPER!!!!

Post game "BOOMS!" with Gaga
The next morning started a little late because it was such a late night the night before. We had breakfast in our room, then went swimming. It's nice to have some down time to relax on a vacation trip. Later we grilled hamburgers and hot dogs (it's the 4th of July!) and then loaded up to go the game!

On our last morning in Atlanta, it's become customary that we have breakfast at Cracker Barrel before we all part ways and head home. On this particular trip to CB, Auntie Carol (who is a big fan of cute frog stuff) found an adorable sock monkey-ish Frog. Cason named her Froggie and snuggled with her most of the way home. It was precious!
Catching some Zzzz's on the way home with Monkey and Froggie.
To end our fun family trip we went to Shane's Rib Shak for dinner. Cason discovered a love of BBQ, cornbread, green beans and ribs. Man this child can eat!!
This little boy is a big ball of energy and a whole bunch of fun!!!

Fooooooore!!!
Cason is really starting to enjoy golf. He likes to swing his clubs, but we think he might actually be understanding some of the rules too. Like being very quiet (shhhhhhh!) when someone is putting...
and screaming really loud when they make the putt!!
(Ok, so that last one might not be a rule, but it should be!)
Hehe...
Kinda makes golf a little more fun, huh?
