Happy 4th!

The boys are different in so many ways...

Hunter devours his popsicle, while Braden does experiments and makes "popsicle juice."

Braden is hesitant about the rain storm, while Hunter would walk right out in it. We were oh so thankfully for the rain storm! Too bad the haboob happened the next day and blanketed us with an inch of dust! Lesson learned - close your garage during haboob season (now that we know what a haboob is)!!

And there are so many more examples I could share.. Hunter jumps right off the step/side/whatever right into the pool with no regard for where he lands or if someone is there to catch him, while Braden contently sits on the step and plays with his ocean animals and "mosquito" (aka - torpedo).

Hunter climbs onto the table/chair/hearth/wherever, while Braden tells him "be careful, Goingy." Goingy is Braden's name for Hunter (and a few other chosen ones).

But I love it when Hunter gives me that "look" that reminds me so much of Braden that there is no doubt they are brothers!

We found another cool room at the Children's Museum... the vehicle room.

And it has a pickle car straight out of the pages of Busytown!

Braden thought of Uncle Matt as he was riding the motorcycle.

Hunter is communicating more and more. He has many ways that he asks for more... the sign language one is the newest addition. Usually he just makes monkey sounds and points until you know what he's talking about!
