Mowing and Gardening

Ok, I have a little bit of time to post some quick pictures from last week. Below is Adam working hard to keep up with the never ending chore of mowing the lawn and Ray and the boys complete their nightly routine of checking to see how many veggies are ready to pick from our fast growing, overly producing garden.

Playing Outside

It was a really cloudy evening, Daddy was fishing, and we were bored so we took battery run Thomas trains outside to play and turned our playyard into a train town.

It was a fun way to pass some time.

Look what I learned to do!

Where's the water?

Just playing.

Bubbles!! One of Adam's favorite outdoor activities.

My sweet boy.




Spill proof bubbles - What a great invention for a 2 year old.

Weekend Fun

What a terrific weekend. Have you ever had one of those great family weekends when nothing special happened, you were totally relaxed, you didn't really go anywhere - but had a super time? Below are some random pictures of our fun.

This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken of Nick.

He was actually in the mood to be photographed. Isn't cooperation grand?

Especiallly when the end product turns out so darn cute.

Believe it or not - Adam isn't screaming for dear life and Nick isn't trying to throw his brother off of the slide - they are actually laughing and having a really great time.

Anyone reading this who has 2 boys will understand!

As the boys took a long Sunday afternoon nap, I filled 2 baby pools and got out the slipping slide. They awoke to a water wonderland in the backyard. We all had a super time and played for hours. I even got into the baby pool.

Below Adam is taking a rest in the midst of all of the excitement.

After just playing in the sand box, Adam has a seat while I put his sandals back on him. In case I wasn't sure, he is showing me where they go. Neither one of my boys like to walk barefoot in the grass.

As Adam still plays in the water, Nick and I sat on the swing, rested, and he played with his newest Transformer as we both enjoyed the smells of Daddy BBQing dinner.

"Tractor Ride"!! Nothing is better than a tractor ride!! Beside, Adam knew Daddy couldn't mow the whole yard without his help.

Slipin' and Slidin'

What a hot Memorial Day weekend! We bought a slip n' slide for something fun to do.

I even went down the slide - twice. I'm sure it was quite a sight and hope the neighbors weren't watching. The kids laughed and we had a super time!!!!

I got some really great photos of the day.

The sun was really hot and I was fearing the water wouldn't make the sunscreen last as long so towards the end I made them wear t-shirts. I might be nuts, but babies with sunburns doesn't sound like fun to me.

I was teasing Nick about getting him a mowhawk (No I wasn't serious - I don't like them, we were just playing). His hair was wet and I honestly thought he looked really cute. Ray didn't enjoy my humor. I loved this picture.
