We are having a GREAT summer and staying busy as ever with our boys. We go to the pool almost everyday, play outside, or something fun and entertaining! Dawson is doing great swimming. He loves it! I think he would rather be in a pool than anywhere else. He took swimming lessons this summer and really enjoyed every moment. Some days it was hard to get him out of the pool. Parker is into everything these days. He is walking, saying "da-da, ma-ma, and "jack," playing with his big brother, and loves outside. He is so opposite Dawson! It is so funny to notice and watch all the differences! We love them both so much!

Dawson and I flew to Dothan, Alabama to attend my Grandfather's funeral in July. It was a very sad time for the entire Whitestone family. He meant so much to many people. However, we are so glad he is in a better place now, and watching over us each and everyday. It was good to see my cousins and visit with the family. I wish it was under better circumstances. Dawson had a great time visiting his second cousins, too! Here are some pictures from the trip.

Cute! I think it is funny the way they are sitting the same!! |
We have also been getting ready for school to start this fall. Dawson is so excited about starting school. I don't know who is more excited these days me or him. He talks about it all the time. He is doing great potty training. We are so proud of him. I think we bought Target in the process of training him. We now own many Thomas trains, Disney cars, and lots of "junk" taking up space in the playroom. Parker even gets excited about potty training! Every time Dawson goes to the potty Parker claps his hands does the potty dance. It is
so cute!!
