Splash Park

We're finally enjoying some nice warm temperatures, so my sister and I decided to cool off by taking the kids to our local splash park. Logan and Maddox had the most fun just riding their scooters around, but Parker and Sawyer enjoyed getting wet in the sprinklers. I must say though that the boys enjoyed just sitting on the towel eating snacks the best! We then went back to our house where we had lunch and the boys were able to jump on the trampoline and play with toys together. What a fun way to spend a summer afternoon with kids!

Fun in the Vegas Sun!

We took another trip down to Vegas this past week to visit Gma and Gpa "K" and to enjoy some sunny warm weather. It was so nice to get away from all the rain we've been having here, and the weather was perfect in Las Vegas~usually the high in mid-June would be in the 100's, but we enjoyed 80 degree weather every day. The boys had a blast swimming in my parents swimming pool everyday and every chance they got. In addition to swimming, we also toured the Hoover Dam, visited with Aunt Nina and Kevin to see their new house, went out dancing one night with friends, went shopping, layed out and relaxed for five days. I wish Vegas wasn't so far away, because we would go down every weekend if we could!

May 2009 slideshow

Here is a slideshow of some of our activities this past month. We've been loving all the warm weather and have been able to enjoy the outdoors. The boys are done with school for the summer and we are all looking forward to spending time with family and friends!

Fun with friends

I love those warm days when the boys play outdoors all day long with neighborhood friends. They jump on the trampoline, play in the waterfall, run through sprinklers, play in the clubhouse, dig in the sandbox, ride bikes and scooters, and just have fun being boys! We love our neighbors and the parents enjoy hanging outdoors together in the summer almost as much as the kids do!

Baseball

This year Logan is playing Little League Baseball and he loves it! His team is called the "Bats", they play two nights a week, and with Anthony as assistant coach, he has really learned alot about the game and working together as a team. I hope he continues to have an interest in baseball, and sports in general, because I love to watch him play. I am looking forward to getting Sawyer involved in some sports soon-but for now he's been having fun cheering on his big brother!

Field trip to the Zoo!

This week Logan took a field trip to the zoo with his preschool. It seemed like almost every school in town also took a field trip that day, because the zoo was filled with school children! He had fun running around, playing with his friends, and took a few minutes to actually look at some animals (what do you expect when you're at the zoo with all your friends)! The weather was perfect, and the animals were all pretty active since it was early in the morning. We were able to see the elephants eat breakfast and the black bears run around playing. Sawyer and Parker enjoyed the lion the best (who cares if it was just a drinking fountain!) Logan, Maddox, and their friend Bode had a blast climbing on everything and fighting who would ride in the stoller next. It was a crazy but fun day~ I am looking forward to going again soon when it can just be our family on a Sunday afternoon when it won't be so crowded with screaming, running kids!

Mother's Day

What a wonderful Mother's Day I had! It started with a Mother's Day Tea the boys had at their school on Friday. Both of their classes had the children sing songs, had lunch prepared for all the mom's, and little mothers day gifts that the kids had made-so sweet! Sunday morning Anthony prepared a delicious mother's day breakfast of homemade eggs benedict-yummm! We then went to church, and then went to the Tracey Aviary at Liberty Park. I love to look at all the birds and hadn't been there in about three years so I was amazed at all they had done. We then had lunch downtown at Cafe Trang, the boys were amazingly good and Logan loved the food-I think he ate more than I did. What a beautiful day it was, and the boys were so cute all day~they really tried to get along and kept hugging me and telling me "happy mudders day"! Why can't everyday be Mother's Day?!
