Well our boys have been the luckiest lil guys around. Our good friend, Krissy, found Breck (he has wanted one FOREVER) and Cullen this car at a garage sale. THANKS KRISSY!! And to my surprise Cullen has been enjoying it more than Breck.
And what I mean is, Breck loves it and has a great time in it. However, he likes to be the ticket taker and pusher more.
Cullen has been given lots of rides courtesy of his big brother. And for the most part it has worked out well between taking turns and giving rides.
Here he is holding the door open for Cullen to get in while he takes the money and helps him get in the car. The best part for me has been watching Cullen's reaction when he has to let Breck have a turn in the car...... I'm sorry, but it makes me laugh really hard!!
Culley flop to the ground and cry so hard! The most pathetic eyes you have ever seen in your life. and he is making sure you are watching the theatrics the whole time :) Funny kid.
We had the most beautiful day yesterday! We spent the whole morning in the park playing baseball, on the playground, and running around. I was able to get a few pics of the boys while taking a break!
Brotherly love (sometimes) and as I was taking this picture Breck told Cullen that he loved him :)
Cheeseballs :)
The swaying bridge is Cullen's new favorite thing to do at the park. It used to be the slide, then the swings, and now the bridge. I love that he is so willing to try new things and is always very adventurous!
Breck is really liking to play in the sand ( which is good because before he didn't like getting dirty) I love that he has a very creative mind and an energetic spirit!
After the park we walked down the St. Luke's to have lunch with Daddy. It's very hard to get a picture of the boys when they are trying to eat a muffin (one of their favorite things) It was a lot of work for not a great pic, but still fun none the less!
After a long walk home (up hill) we made it home for both boys to take great naps. Then when Shawn got home I was able to take a few pictures the them mowing the lawns.
Breck thinks our lawnmower is too loud so he takes his mower into our neighbors yard (Thanks for letting us invade your yard, Therese & Gary) and mows over there while Shawn mows our yard.
The best part about this is Breck copys everything Shawn does. I will take video next time so you can see what I'm talking about. But he will pull the mower backwards on hills, he will push the "choke" button and pull the cord to start his mower, and he trys to stay even -like a shadow- with Shawn as they go up and down the yard together. Breck will be moving our lawn (and Gary's ) in no time if he keeps this up :) 
Last Friday was our 6th wedding anniversary and we we're lucky enough to get a night out without kids ( thanks g & g) We saw a movie, went out to eat, did some furniture shopping, and went for a walk. A great night with a great guy!
Cullen had a great time down by the water, eating sand, getting dirty and exploring. Keeping him out of the water was the hard part. He is our waterbug.
Gramma and Breck enjoying a fast boat ride!
Breck had more fun digging in the sand and moving it in his dump truck than he did in the water. He goes in spurts of really liking or not. That Tonka truck, however, was his best friend!
Catching a few Sunnys! Thank goodness he only caught Sun Fish this year and NO Bullheads!!
Cullen decided he was ready to go down stairs forward. He had the best time climbing up and walking down. He made everyone pretty nervous! Only a few minor falls though, so he is well on his way. Even though his legs are as tall as the stairs he somehow makes it work!
Breck and Dad tubing. They liked going over big waves/bumps but not going outside the wake.
Culleybear!!!
All smiles!!
Breck's sand castle city. Mom and Dad made most of them but Breck has the best time smashing all of them!
Shawn making his first pass of the season!
Brushing off the dust.
The crew soaking up the sun!
Our family living up our vacation!
Mommy and Culley
Breck Bug!
Everyone looking and smiling! Nice work group!
Mazie on the boat, loving the breeze in her face.
Cullen driving the boat, literally. He had a grip on the wheel and Grandpa had a hard time keeping us on track. He had a blast though!
Our funny lil guy being silly! Loves sticking out his tongue.
Breck being adventurous!
The boys sitting outside the house before lunch.
They make me smile all the time. I was trying to take a picture of Cullen and Breck was jealous so he came to sit by Culley and said "Mommy, take a picture of me and my little brother"
Erin came up to Duluth for two days and we had one amazing day and one windy day. Can you guess which one this is?? We still had a great time down by the lake throwing rocks, sitting on the deck, getting some sun, going for a run and eating at the Brewhouse. We are glad you made the trip up, Erin!
Cullen did pretty well during the game. It was very hot and we were in direct sun for the first 3 innings so we were trying to keep his sunglasses on and keep him cool. There was lots for him to look at so that helped.
Breck decided he wanted to be a vender at the ball park. He was walking around handing out "food" (straws) to everyone talking in his deep, loud, vender voice. I wish I had video because he was really funny. 
Nathan, Erin, Me and Shawn (Cullen too) sweating it out through the first few innings! It was the first game for all of us in the new ballpark. We had a great time!
Sunday morning we headed down to Minnihaha Falls for a nice walk and to see some waterfalls. But first we had a little breakfast picnic of breads and pastrys. Yummy!
The 4 of us at the Falls. 
Most of the crew again. 
Breck, Gma Dee, Cullen, and Gpa Gary walking/swinging on the trails on the way back. We spent a lot of time hanging out and enjoying this beautiful summer.
The Boys hit up the golf course Monday morning while the rest of us hung out on the deck and did Stacy's weekend project (shucking black beans...for quite some time ) and relaxed before heading over to my Aunts for a little Johnson get together.
Here the 4 of us were watching the fireworks. Both Breck and Cullen really liked them. Culley was ooohhh'ing and clapping for most of it and Breck liked talking about them. My favorite thing he said was "Oh, No! Is Jesus's house catching on fire?" Such a creative mind he has. Thanks for such a great weekend!
