Summer

Our summer has been full of:

Tanner sleeping in. All the other boys wake up early.
Getting wet outside. Slip n Slide and just getting wet on the trampoline.
Riding bikes, playing basketball with the neighborhood boys, and just being hot!
Never ending laundry. I cannot keep up with all the towels!!
Cousin sleepovers.
Snow cones! Thanks to some great friends who introduced this little machine to my boys. We had to go to Walmart the very next day. We now have 9 different flavors.

And me constantly looking for my phone. They all think that it belongs to them. Incuding Greyson!! So that means that my battery is always dead. Go figure!!

15 years

July 6, 2011 was our 15 year anniversary.

Last weekend we were able to get away for a couple days. It was much needed!!!

We decided on a staycation at the JW Marriott.

We went to two movies (Super 8 & Captain America), went out to dinner, slept in, went shopping, swimming, took a nap, ate at the buffet with all the old people, hiking at red rock, late night at the jacuzzi, and just lots of free us time with no kids. We really didn't know what to do with ourselves. It felt like time had stopped. No one was waiting on us or needed anything from us. It was really nice. I wish we could do this more often.

Thanks to grandma for taking good care of the boys while we were able to get away.

Carson lost another tooth. He has had 2 that have been wiggly for awhile. One more then the other. Last night I looked at it. And he did not want me to pull it. It was hanging on. I got a paper towel and pinned him down. Yes, he was kicking and screaming but I couldn't let him go to sleep with that little tiny tooth just hanging there.
He had been pushing it forward with his tounge and so all I had to do was push it back and it just fell out. He was happy that it was not painful.
So the tooth fairy came last night and he got some money. Oh and the tooth fairy.......well, HE forgot to take his tooth. Carson is planning on leaving the tooth again tonight! haha!!!

Sunday

This is what we saw when we pulled up to dad & mom's house on sunday. Part of the neighbors tree fell and was in the yard. Well you know the kids instantly had ideas of playing in it. They called it their playhouse.

Claire & Crew relaxing in Grandpa's chair. These two are so cute together!

We had cupcakes for Connor's birthday. Greyson loved them!!!

Recap of the 4th of July

We had a great time in Kanarra again with the Rose's.

Richard & Cheryl could not be there this year :(

He was recovering from surgery and it was definately not the same.

They were missed!

The boys went with Brian on the hike. I stayed home with Greyson.

They got went and had a great time. As usual!

We had a great weekend. We relaxed, visited, ate yummy food, watched fireworks, played on the slide & swings, and made many more great memories!!
