Splash pad!!!

So I looked around the room today at my kiddos all still in jammies and decided a little fun in the sun was in order.  I had them put on swimsuits and I packed our lunches.  We took off on our bikes for a long ride to the splash pad.  Once we got there, we started unpacking our lunch and bragging to daddy with pics about how much fun we were having.  I look over and realize that I am gonna need a key to get into the splash pad and I did NOT bring it!!!  Ugh!!  We hop on our bikes and head all the way back home.  I went in, got the key, and piled everyone into the car!  I'm all about exercise (not really) but we were driving this time!  Anywho, once in, they had a blast and I got called cool mom for the day!  Hooray!  Enjoy the pics!  :-)

 Before we realize we are locked out...bragging to daddy!

 Yummy lunch!

 Crazy boy of mine loves to take pictures of himself while looking at himself...got a lot of his daddy in him!!!  Hahahahaha!!

More Summertime!!!

Playtime outside!  The kids LOVE the new cul-de-sac!

 Teaching Maci to shoot hoops!  Brings back lots of sweet memories of my own days with a basketball in hand!

 Payt on her big bike!

 Off they go!!!

 The dude taking a break!

 Well, you gotta work out after a big ice cream bar, right??

 The 6 weeks we were staying with the Meers' were the busiest I have ever been!  We spent our days in the car on the go, dropping off, picking up, waiting to drop off or pick up!  It was wild!!!  Since being all moved in we've had camps, VBS, and more camps!  The last couple of weeks we have NOTHING planned, so we've enjoyed lazy days in jammies watching tv!

 Blake has really gotten into building with blocks!  He is very good too!  One of his favorite things to do is build out instead of up!  (Notice how well he sorts the blocks too!!)

 Blake and I went out to watch the foundation being poured across the street...he LOVED it!

 The girls spent a couple of days with my parents for the first time ever!  Mom and dad made it so very special for them!  They went to Fiesta Texas the first day, and then to Austin Parks and pizza the next day!  The girls LOVED every minute of it!

 My sumo wrestler!  (He has taken over Payton's Leapster since she took off to Austin!!)

Alan grilled some cedar planked salmon and a lobster tail for dinner one night!  He and Maci devoured it!

 Blake and I had gourmet burgers, and sweet sweet Payton requested peanut butter and jelly!  (I can say nothing, she gets it from me!!)

 Dinner with the Stovall's at Chuy's before watching the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics...he just looked too cool not to take a pic!! 

Summertime!!!

This summer has been a very eventful one!  We started off by moving into our new home!!  We love it!  The kids adjusted to it beautifully and we are really enjoying getting to know the new neighbors and decorating and all the other fun parts to getting a new home!  Maci spent a week doing cheerleading at our church's Christian Sports Camp (their VBS this year.)  Payton spent a week at a soccer camp (that she played up for because she is too young!!)  Both girls got to spend a couple of days with my parents in Austin (will post pics later!)  Both girls went with their Grandma to her church's VBS!  And, August hasn't even begun yet!!  They are having a great time!  We will be sad (a little ;-)) to see summer end!!

Maci before cheer camp!



 Payton at soccer camp

 The dude eating cookies at grandma's pool!

 More soccer camp!

 Sometimes you gotta have your boots and belt when your working with tools!

 My babies let me take some pics of them so that I could freshen up my framed photos around the house!  I love them!  (They got treats for their troubles!!)

 Holy Cow!!!  How old is this child!?!?!

 Me and my precious girls!

 My stinker is going to kindergarten in ONE month!!!  :-(

 The guys in my life!

 4th of July Sweetness!!!

Snow Cones

This is one of my favorite pictures of the summer so far!  We took a swim break and went for snow cones!  It was much deserved after a long day playing soccer (Payton), playting tennis (Maci), and shopping (Blake)!!  I love these three people to pieces!!!
