Pool Games

There were a lot of kids and teens at the beach area we were staying. This means plenty of fun for my kiddies. Evan was the first to get involved in the pool games. He watched for a while and decided to join. It took Trey much longer to watch and decide to join in. But when they both joined the games they had so much fun.

Beach Time

I am going backwards in time.









Last week the family went to Treasure Island beach for a week with Grammy. We had a great time even though the sun did not appear until Friday. The boys swam and played in the rain(no lightening and thunder). Other times the days were gray and overcast which I can handle better than full heat and sun.













Notice hubby's three toned tan from working in the yard and riding his bike.

4th of July Fireworks

Later in the afternoon the kiddies and I packed up and headed to Mema and Papa's house for a cookout, fireworks and lots of fun. Uncle Carl outdid himself with the fireworks this year. They were loud, high in the sky and very pretty to watch. He also bought the boys water guns to play with during lull adult moments of talking and chilling out. I opted to use the hose and sprayer for maximum wetness. The boys and I made(tie dyed, painted and glittered) 4Th of July tshirts for the special occasion a few weeks ago. Haley was included(per her insistence).















When Papa shot off his mini cannon(yes you read that right) it hurt Trey and Zane's ears.

4th Of July Parade

Today is Independence Day, The 4Th of July, America's birthday! We got out of the house very early considering we got home very late from the beach the night before. It was a humid and muggy morning but we survived and enjoyed the parade. We met up with good friends at the parade. A nice way to start the Holiday.














The many floats and people we saw along the parade route.

Beach Time

The day started out rainy.....well stormy is more like it. But we had beach plans with friends and Haley. Nothing would get in the way. I never get Haley(alone) and I was determined it would be a good day. When we arrived at the beach it was raining. So we headed down a bit further and what do you know??? No rain, and the sun was attempting to come out. So we planted out chairs near the water and said.....beach here we are.......weather be good. And it was.

The girls relaxing. Scarlett is due in 12 days. Doesn't she look awesome!

Unwanted Guests: Part 2

A year ago I posted this blog. Go and check it out and come right back.


















Remember now.......thought so!
Yes............the frog!! Well guess what has happened? About six months ago another one moved in. I was freaked but allowed it because they they stayed put...never moved....at least when I was around.


This morning....another relative has moved in.


Oh no!!! That is it!!! I am through being nice. I am evicting them. DH must capture them and take them away. Far far away from home. Never to return again.



I will keep you posted on our frog situation.

Tired Baby

Zane had his first day of summer camp today. It lasted from 9am to 1pm. This is the result of his adventurous day.


















YES.....he is truly asleep at the dinner table. I hope my poor baby can make it through the summer.
