Craft Time

We made the frog puppet Monday. Both Syd and H enjoyed the crafting. Though H was a loud sass when Brokeback wouldn't let him paint the table. That is what I get for not putting down newspaper this time!

Mixing the paint. From reading the book Mouse Paint and mixing colors Syd knows that yellow and blue make green!


Hayden painting in a serious manner.


Final product. Someone is getting a tan!

Photo Shoot

Brokeback took these after a long swim. My parents and I were working on the yard, and Syd was hiding in the tree, watching. Some of them turned out really cute!

Our Kite Adventure

So, I can't even remember the last time I flew a kite. I am sure it was with my dad sometime in elementary school. My mom gave the kites to Brokeback at some point. We walked to the park to feed the ducks and do some kite flying yesterday. Woul have loved to play at the park as well, but it has been replaced by some modern monstrosity that is too advanced for my kids, and is still within a chain link fence. But that is a vent for another day.

The kids LOVED the wide open space, I can tell you that much. Here are some fun pics!

Great Weekend

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! We had a great one, and it was a long time coming. I was really bummed not to be able to go on a trip to the river with friends, because Ron's doc told him last Wednesday that he is healing nicely but 6ish hours sitting in a car was a no go. He made it up to me!!

We had a "date night" Friday night. Ate at an "adult" restaurant and went to see Prince Caspian, which we both greatly enjoyed. The kids spent the night with Gigi and so I slept til close to 10. I was thrilled to do this as I was up sick most of the night before. We had a cookout with friends from church Saturday. The men folk brewed beer. We all swam, and I won't post any pics of the kids in the pool because I forgot to take any! Ron bought all the food to cookout, etc. It was great. He had the massage therapist come that night, he called her and set it up and everything. So great. We had my fam swim and cookout and swim again Sunday, then yesterday we had some other friends and their 3 kids come over. All in all a fab weekend!

Spoke too soon

Okay, I hate to admit it but I don't think I am going to be up for posting everyday this summer. We are not at home too much, and if we are we seem to be swimming or sleeping. So I will post as much as I can, but pics of my kids in the hot tub everyday get old.

Hope no one is tooooo disappointed!

Awwwww.......

She is such a lover. This picture speaks for itself.
