We went to the Oklahoma Aquarium on Friday with Aedan.  He got a blast watching all the fish and critters.  My favorite are the jellyfish - they are so relaxing to watch!

 

Jeremy, I wish I had gotten a profile picture of him here... 

Aedan on the other hand liked watching more interesting faces:

 

And trying to 'catch' frogs:

 

That is a man after granny's own heart, I tell ya!  (I collect frogs - what for I don't know, but I love them!)

And he stood for 30 minutes watching the stingrays:

 

I love this picture of Aedan looking at the stingrays, but look at the little guy in the background!

 

Lol, he was actually falling and his parents didn't hear him yell. I think he was a bit annoyed with them!

We went in the giftshop afterwards and Aedan really wanted to buy this shirt for his brother - he is always thinking of Marcus - it is so sweet!  However, the prices were not in his favor so we just took this picture!

The heat and lack of rain have kicked our backsides this year - well, this is the second year of no rain.  We have wildfires all over the state - this is the smoke from one about 30 miles away:

Yes, very ominous and heavy.  

Steve has been trying to get a trench dug to get electric to our pond so we can keep it healthy with an aerator:

The temp when he was doing this was 112 degrees F!!  It is so blasted HOT!  Aedan went out to help him for a very short time:

That lasted all of about 4 minutes - he came screaming in that it is HOT OUT THERE GRANNY!

Poor papa!

Doesn't he look great all dressed up and ready to help his papa though?

We are having a great time with our little guy.  He is so sweet, caring and soft hearted; so much like his daddy it is unreal.  Love that we have him to get to know him better.

I cannot drive anywhere because of the cast on my right foot, but we are trying to find plenty to keep him busy right here at the house.  Being on a farm is tough; he only has (real) tractors, 4 wheelers and a horse or two to ride.  He only has trailers, forts and fences to climb, but, oh what fun he is having 'hanging out' on the farm!

Granny needs to be able to drive though - oh the things we could do!
