Yay for the weekends!

This past weekend Garrett and I decided to just SLOW DOWN!  We have been so busy on the weekends lately that it has been easy to get wrapped up in entertaining guests, cooking for large crowds, going here, going there, etc, etc that we feel like our kids have gotten the shaft (as far as special attention goes).  So we decided to spend the entire weekend doing special activities with them!  No house work, no hours playing on the internet (until after they were asleep :)), no extra projects to work on and so on and so on.  We all had a blast together!  The boys are at such a fun age too!  They both have very outgoing personalities and love to dance to loud music, run fast (or in Jett's case, walk fast), play any kind of sport, jump on the beds, play with trains, watch movies, eat popcorn and pizza pockets, and laugh like crazy!!!  I love them both so much!  They make my life complete!!!


We started off Friday by taking Cruz to his favorite store, Barnes and Noble, to play with their train section and to pick out a new train for his set.  Lucky for him (and because I'm a huge sucker!) they were having a buy one, get one half off on all wooden Thomas trains!
 Then we picked up Daddy and headed North to PF Changs to have some dinner.  We got Cruz to eat all of the rice because we told him that Kung Fu Panda ate rice!!!  (Mommy = 1  Cruz = 0)  And Jett ate everything that we put in front of his face! :)
 Then we went home and played with our new trains.  Daddy made a giant track in the living room for all of us to play on!
 Saturday morning we woke up and Cruz helped me make breakfast.  Then we put on our suits and headed over to the Earlywine pool for the afternoon.  Cruz was so excited to go down all the slides and one of his T-ball buddies, Alex, was there so he was in HEAVEN!!! 
 Jett and I rotated time in the shade with drinks and snacks and time in the shallow end playing with the fountains.
 Then we came home, cleaned up and spent the evening in our jammies! 
 Sunday morning we went to church and lunch.  Then on the way home we stopped for a family of geese that were crossing in our neighborhood.  They boys thought this was just so awesome!!!???
 After some naps, Cruz and Daddy went to the Warren to see Transformers (no we dont have any pics, Thanks G!)  While they were gone Jett and I had a small fiesta of our own!

We practiced taking facebook profile pics of ourselves!  Cheese!
 We practiced all new tricks!
 And we ate suckers for dinner!  YUMMO!  (yes, I do realize that I will not be winning "mother of the year" for this decision but I don't care, we had fun!!!)
 Yay for weekends!!!  And yay for fun family time!

Happy Independence Day!

Fourth of July in photos...

It takes alot of packing to feed and entertain 12 adults and 2 kids for a weekend!






 Senor Todd came out to play this morning!

 And then he crashed and burned!
 The girls (minus Amber???)

 I think someone dared Austin to come party in his skivies???
Jett was the designated driver!
 
 The beginning of our tubing "adventure"
 still having fun!
 4 1/2 hours and an X-ray later at the Madill Hospital!
 Thankfully no bones were broke.  Just a serious bruise and black eye.  Not enough to stop Garrett from coming back to the house and having a stiff cocktail! :)
We tried to watch fireworks but the boys were so wiped out from playing on the water all day that they pooped out at 7pm all three nights!

Walking and Talking!

Jett is walking and talking these days!  Well more like walking and mumbling!  I can't really understand any of it but I'm sure its very intelligent conversation!

14 months old

The chicks in my life

Just a little picture update of the two most beautiful, smart, and outgoing chickies I know!  My two neices, Hailey Rose and Reagan Lynn!  They are growing up way to fast!!!


Pool Party!

Saturday we celebrated Kristen's birthday with a good old pool party at Gammy and Papa's house!  The boys played in the water until they were both worn slick and sunburned!  By the end of the afternoon, Cruz was doing back flips in the hot tub and jumping into the pool and swimming to the steps all without his life jacket!  I think I have a little fishy on my hands!!!  Maybe someday he will teach his mommy how to swim!:)




Movie Night

This past Friday night, we took Cruz to see Cars 2.  He has been patiently waiting since we first saw the preview months ago to see this movie!  It was a very cute movie and he totally loved it! 

Waiting in line with Cruz, Lightning McQueen, and Francesco!
 This cheese ball told us that he wanted his OWN popcorn and drink!
 Pretending to take a nap before the movie!

Thundercats Game 1

Tonight was the first Thundercats Tball game.  I think Cruz may be officially hooked!  He played first base and short stop and hit two runs that put him into home for a score!  After warming up to the crowd a bit, Cruz started showing off and making passes by the bleachers pumping his fists and raising the roof!  It was hysterical!  His team worked so well together and had so much fun tonight!  I can't wait for the next game!!!
