Rest Time

Today Brent decided the boys needed a nap. I think he was the one who really wanted one. I'm not sure why Ben is laying on Brent. I bet it was the only way Brent could keep him still and quiet!

4th of July at the Lake

We spent the 4th of July at Cedar Creek lake. My sister's in-laws have a great house that they weren't using, so my sister invited our family and my dad to come join them. The boys had a blast playing with their cousins. You would think that we would spend more time with them as we live in the same city, but everyone is always super busy. The boys enjoyed tubing, riding the jet ski, swimming in the lake, going down the slide, and swinging.

The fireworks out there were amazing. Just a little bit away from us a house had what had to have been a professional show going on. It was one big blast and spray after another. There was no way they could of been lighting them one at a time. This went on for at least 30 min. It was crazy. All across the lake you could see fireworks. There was at least a few other shows across the lake that were similar to the one by us. These were just people at their homes. I would hate to know how much money was blown up in their firework shows. We sure did enjoy it though. It made our fireworks very dinky. The boys like watching all the fireworks around the lake. They didn't really like the ones we were lighting. Could of been that is was 10:00 and of course very loud.

More pictures are coming. I didn't take a lot since my sister had her camera out that is much better than my little one. Unfortunately, she has been out of town all week, but I should be getting hers soon.

Last T-ball Game

Blake finished up his t-ball season on Sunday. He had a lot of fun playing and improved so much. I am happy that the season is over. The afternoon games were getting extremely hot!!

A big hit

Summer Fun

Just a few shots of things we have done this summer.

Neighborhood Party


Slip and Slide

Great Wolf Lodge

A couple of weekends ago, we took the boys to Great Wolf Lodge. I loved that it was so close and we weren't in the car for very long at all. They had a blast and loved it all.

Blake went down all the slides, big and small. The big ones he had to ride with Brent, but he didn't hesitate at all. I was really shocked. He also liked Fort Mackenzie, the lazy river and outdoor pools.

Ben was not tall enough to ride the big slides so he would get sad sometimes when he was left by his dad and brother. He could ride the other slides that were definitely big enough for a 3 year old. He enjoyed them so much! He also loved just swimming in all the pools. There was so much to do there and we had a great time! I didn't take very many pictures because everything was so wet in there, but here are a few.

Field Day II

Blake's second field day was the last day of school. There were lots of games to play that were set up inside and outside. Blake's favorite was the spoon relay race with an egg!

The Spoon Race

Blake and his teacher Mrs. Byrne. This was a rushed shot and the only one I got.


Blake and his friend Gracie. Blake was giving everyone a high five and telling them to have a good summer. He got to Gracie and she wanted to give him a hug too. She was telling him how much she was gonna miss him and he was telling her he would miss her too. It was super sweet!


Ben with his teachers, Ms. Pam and Ms. Kristy, on his last day of school. You can tell he wasn't super thrilled with this.

Field Day I

Blake had 2 field days at the end of the school year. The first field day was just for Kindergarten. His school joined 4 other local schools to enjoy lots of relays, walking on coffee cans, and hurdles. A good time was had by all.
