Welcome Summer

Yahoo! It finally came! And now it's nice and HOT! But here is some of the summer fun we've been having:
Fathers Day
Well, let's just say, don't order your fathers day gifts online! Mine came the Tuesday after fathers day! Sorry Brand! But he still loves what I got him! He called it his "Cowboy Fathers Day!!" Funny! But I got him the Chris LeDoux Box Set he's been wanting! And 2 movies 8 seconds (I cry everytime!) and Pure Country! That is what I get for marring a cowboy!!! But I love those things too, so it's a toss up!!! Oh ya and he bought himself and new CD for Fathers Day too! It's George Straits new one and it's ok not my most favorite, but it works.
Summer Days
Well my sister has a pool at her apartment/townhouse so we hang out at the pool. Nice for the tan, but sucks having kids and the pool! Hadley will go and play with the other kids, either in her floaty or they will hold her (Travis is way taller than the 5 ft, it's nuts) but Taylor, oh man she like the floaty for like 5 mins likes to be held for another 5 and then she wants you to dip her in and out of the pool or hold her by her arms and put her half way into the way so she can climb with her feet on the wall! She is very stubborn! (That is so from her father's side!!) But otherwise it's pretty fun! They do have a good time and the girls even have cute little tan lines! Funny! Don't worry I do sunblock my kids, maybe not myself but them yes. (I have pictures of all of this, but I got a new camera for mothers day and I still haven't loaded the CD for it! I know I'm a slacker!!!I'll do it today!!! Plus I still have some on the other camera too!)
Home
Well we aren't here too much, for one the landlords that own this place don't care about it so everything is going to crap! We have a swamp cooler (whoever invinted this didn't think it out very well!!) But we can't put the water on to "cool" off cause it leaks into the house! Ya totally sucks! So it gets nice and stuffy and hot! We are outside or thank goodness for Jen and her house, she has AC!!! So we hang out at her place!!! I've just set up the girl's pool, I lost the plug that held all the air in it! And had to ask some kid at Ace Hardware for something that would hold the air! What a joke! So that is all fun but the girls like to step on the sides and let the water out! Oh man, then this afternoon I asked Hadley what she did with her plate of food, she threw the whole thing into the POOL!!! UG! Plate and food! (for some of you that are going to have kids, this is something you get to look forward too!) But my girls so LOVE hot dogs! It's so funny! They will walk around with one and eat it as they play! Weirdos! That is from there Dad's side too!!! But because my honey is self employeed and the boss he has late hours, leave home by 7 am return home by 8 or 9 pm! Ya I know! (I'm gonna blog about this one too!) But we eat dinner at my sisters house which is pretty nice, we all chip in some for it all and we eat after we get home from the pool. Oh yes the number one thing that I love about summer time, my children are so tired at the end of the day! That they just crash! Amazing! Sometimes as early as 9pm! That is great!!!
Weekends
Well weekends are mostly family days, Saturday and Sunday. We spend with Brandon. And lately it's been at family reunions or up in the mountains! It's so fun! The girls love the outdoors! We haven't gone camping yet with them, but everything else oh yes. We've done the smores thing, wow that was messy but a blast! And there favorite 4 wheeling. They love to get on a ride! It's so in the blood! And we've been up to see Brandon's dad alot. So we look forward to weekends. Oh yes, I try not to give away too many of our "finds" but this one is too good to keep! So how many times do you go to parks and find that stupid bark or whatever and your kids want to take there shoes off and play? And you wish there was sand? We have found our "beach" and it has swings! Like real swings! It's in Mt Green and it rocks! There is sand a play toy swings lots of nice grass water and tables! Oh it rocks! The girls love to go! They play in the sand and love it! We bring sand toys and our umbrella from our table that we stick in the sand! We really feel like we are at the beach, minus the ocean and the hummity! But it's so fun! Totally worth the drive, plus the kids fall asleep on the way to and from sometimes!!! So great time for ma and pa! Those are our weekends so far!!!

Well I'm going to put up the pictures cause they are amazing! And so fun! I can't wait to see what else we do this summer!!! Oh yeah, did I mention I LOVE SUMMER!!!!??? It rocks!
