Doing our thing

So we have been doing our thing around the house lately. We have some new neighbors that have twin 7 year old boys. My boys are happy about that and have been playing with them. They have a pool!! whoo hoo, they invited us down and we headed down. This is how the boys got the pool donuts back to our house, only thing....wish I had a pic of Dev bringing both tubes down to us all by himself and riding this bike thing...THAT would of been a great pic!! LOL!

The past two Mondays we have hit the water spray park. I don't think we went at all last year so this was nice and new again for the boys. Although, the first time I forgot my camera, I know a big shocker!! Dev's friend joined us too. It was nice to watch them play while us Moms sat and chatted.

Bucket dumping time!

Or watch out for friends trying to dump theirs on you..ha ha...

Let's all dump our buckets. I like how this pic shows a different point of the pouring for each boy, funny.

This is my new fav pic!! They were all three sitting there on the buckets and this pic idea popped into my head..hilarious!! Mostly because they had no idea what I was making them do! LOL

The boys got to see their Great Aunt and Great Uncle. They were making a real short visit through town on their way for a multi day/week road trip. The boys have only met them once before about 5 years ago or so.

The boys are having their swim lessons this week. After the first class the teacher wanted to move them to a more advanced class, I'm happy about that. Bry is still a little apprehensive about it, but he does really great. She said he cried some yesterday but still did really great! Friday is their swim graduation and I'm happy I will be able to be there this year to see them perform  :-)

Counting down to the holiday weekend yay!! We are taking the boys on a suprise vacation! I haven't told them about it yet. Not sure if i shared this here yet or not..anyway....we are taking them to a huge indoor water park! This will be perfect after finishing their swim lessons! I'm not telling them so that the excitement of the trip doesn't make them act totally crazy the week before the trip. You other parents know what i'm talking about, at least I hope mine aren't the only ones. They get so excited that they start acting crazy and getting in trouble. So this time I'm not telling them until the day before! whoo hoo! I'm excited too! We've never been but we have friends that have been and say it's spectacular! So exciting!!

Then the following weekend it's a girls road trip!! We are taking Mom to MN for her 60th birthday so that she can see her family that lives there! It's going to be a lot of fun! It will be me, Mom and my sis. We are going to stop in Minneapolis on the way there and shop around at the Mall of America and stay the night! If you haven't heard of it, you should google it...it's humungous! (not sure I spelled that right?! hee hee) The boys get to have fun with Daddy all weekend while we are gone!

Can't believe half of the summer is almost over! It's going by too fast!! The boys are really wanting to go see Cars 2 this weekend!! I think we might go on Sunday, or I might see if Daddy wants to take them when I'm gone for the weekend. We'll see. Other than that we'll probably work on some house projects and yard work .I've let the weeds get a little out of control in some spots...ugh...I guess if I'd stay on top of them and spray and pull then this wouldn't happen. But it's been pretty hot and the idea of cleaning flower beds and pulling weeds hasnt' been appealing at all!

Well I think that's about all for now...happy hump day!!
