GOING CAMPING!!

This last weekend was spent preparing for our 2 upcoming camping trips. On Sat., we started by going through the garage getting our camping supplies together....which turned into cleaning the garage from top to bottom. The boys even were helping, and ended up going through toys, and put some aside for Goodwill. Then on Sunday, Dave, the boys, and I all went shopping from store to store picking up more camping supplies that we needed. It's always oh so very interesting taking all of the boys shopping:) ....And of course, we bought making for s'mores! Today was spent getting packed for the first camping trip....the boys could barely go to sleep...they're so excited!
On Sunday, we did take some time out of packing, and went for a much needed swim at the public pool.....and we had CHRISTMAS IN JULY! We watched the Grinch and The Polar Express. In the evening, we had a rain storm go through, so the boys played in the rain, and we ended the day with hot chocolate, with lot's of marshmellows! It was a lot of fun!

GOING CAMPING!!

FUN 4TH!!

We had a fun and busy 3rd and 4th! On the 3rd we had gone to the lake, and enjoyed the festivities....a kids water zone, concert, and fireworks (even a good lightning show). On the 4th, we had a great bar-b-que at my uncle's house, and had a blast swimming. There was a huge dust storm coming through, so unfortunately, the firework show was canceled. Since then, we've been having our own water park in our backyard(slip-n-slide and inflatable pool), and we're packing for our 2 upcoming camping trips. Gregory and Nathan just finished there swimming lessons...both did great and had a lot of fun! Eli is very into lifting weights, and Jacob is cruisen all around....and loving the freedom!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

We're off to the lake, and we'll be doing lot's of swimming and bar-b-quing over the weekend!! Have a very happy, fun, and safe 4th of July!! More summer pics and blogs to come after the 4th....stay tuned!! Until then....stay cool!!
