Summers End


We are trying to finish up our summer with a bang. My oldest baby is going to start preschool in a couple of weeks. This is my last year to have my baby at home and then he starts school. My mother made the comment, "your life will never be the same soon." OUCH! MOMMMMM!!!! I know you are right but I am not ready for the reality of it. I am happy, sad, and excited for him. Aaron did go to summer school for about a month this year so we are kinda used to it.
Anyways, here are some pics of some of the summer fun...
I called my mom one morning and told her that I had to go out and run some errands that day and I was really not wanting to do any of it. After getting off the phone with her I started to get ready to go. A few minutes later she called back and asked me if she could go with us and we could spend the afternoon out at the park. Woo Hoo! My whole morning woke up then. Fun stuff!

When I was done taking care of my "business" stuff Mom bought us all Mickey Ds for lunch and then we went to the park for a picnic!

When the boys were done eating they played on the playground for a while. Next we went over and fed the geese all the leftover french fries. Pretty cooolll!!!

The rest of the afternoon we played hide and seek (actually they played. I took pics.) Rolled down the hill. Aiden learned a very valuable lesson that day. Don't run down the steep hills. He went face first. Owwww!!! You should be proud, I quit taking pictures for a few minutes. Hahaha! When the boys were beginning to get pretty hot, we loaded up the ole Jeep and went to my moms to fish in the pond. We didn't have any fishing poles or bait. That was fine cause my boys are only 3 and 4 and they are happy to fish with sticks, yarn and marshmellows. Perfect Day!





At the end of the day I was driving home. There is a swan that lives at a pond and I see him almost every time I go out. He is so pretty and helps me remember why I love living here. I decided to stop and get some pics of him. He was pretty far away and I stayed on the road to take my pictures. If I would have tried to get closer I probably would have fallen into the deep ditch and that would have made my perfect day pretty rotten. Needless to say, he topped my day off just fine.
Ya'll come back now and check fer some more posts, ya hear!?!

Today I Turned 3!

Wow! Can you believe it? I actually posted twice in one day!?!?!? I am trying to beat my record from last month. I know I should set my goals a little higher. LOL! Anyways, I did a scrap page of Aidens 3rd birthday and I wanted to share it with you.

I hope everyone has a great week. Today we finally turned the AC on and it was a little sad for me because I love to have my windows open. Now I feel like we have closed up our "cave" until fall. It is also harder to get outside more when you have the AC inside and the 90 degree heat with humidity outside. I do get spoiled. At least we lasted until July before we messed with the AC.

I really had a great time taking pictures on the fourth. I know you can't see peoples faces really well but I had fun with the light. Actually we all had a good time cause the kids kept running back and forth to see their "special" photo and Rick kept thinking up all different things to try. So it was really a fun family kinda time! :P

Your gonna miss this.


Just wanted to share my most recent scrap page. The words are from the lyrics Your Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins. The photos were taken last month when we had a wonderful time with the last family visit!

Ride 'em Cowboys!!!!

Aaron and Aiden got another combined birthday present. This one is from Grandma Michelle. Can you tell who was more excited?

The gift is a really cool tire horse. I think after Aaron was done with 'em he is now a TIRED horse! LOL!!!! (I crack myself up sometimes. Hhehehehe) I know, I know, but it is 12:20 at night which is really past my bedtime so...what do you expect?!?!? :)

Sandbox

One of the birthday presents Aiden (& Aaron) received was while Nana and Papa were in town. Since they probably won't see Aaron close to his birthday, this is a combined gift. I love it, the kids have been playing in it all the time. We are outside people so any toys outside are perfect!
