Good Ole Summertime FUN!

Fun in the summertime in Las Vegas is...

Splash parks to cool your overheated skin...

Chilling in a sea of water, his own personal paradise...

Wondering if it is possible to catch some of the sweet coolness...

and practicing being a monkey one last time!

Then and Now

Last week our sweet Andrew graduated from Kindergarten!  I seriously cannot believe how quickly this school year flew by.  It seems like just a moment ago that I was dropping him off on the first day with butterflies in my tummy and tears in my eyes.  When I dropped him off at school for his last day, I again had butterflies and tears.  Some things never change!!

Although I love that he loves his school, his teacher and especially learning, I am not ready for my baby to be away from me at school all day!!  Luckily, we have all summer before I really have to think about it!  We plan on enjoying EVERY moment.

Summer SKY (and a giveaway too!)

My favorite thing about summertime approaching is that it stays light outside so much later!  There is nothing more fun than playing with our boys outside until after 8:00!  I can be guaranteed that they will fall fast asleep within seconds and a good night's rest will be had by all!!

 

The moon makes an appearance long before darkness arrives!!

Look Ma!! No Training Wheels!!

Somehow we were blessed with the most adventurous children.  They fear nothing!  From Anthony's skydiving, to Andrew's swimming like a fish, to this...

3 years old and no training wheels!

Today, Daddy said that he thought Jack was ready to lose the training wheels.  So, while Mommy held her breath (literally!), Daddy took off the trainers and off he went!  Seriously, he just took off riding!  He is getting so big so fast!  

And I couldn't be prouder...

T-Ball Champ

Saturday was the last t-ball game of the season!  I can't believe all of the fun and hard work is over.  We made some wonderful friends that we hope to see again in the future. 

Truly, the best part of the day was this...

Can you see the pride written all over his face?

It's the BEST!!

Although Jack didn't play t-ball (yet!), he got in on the action!

Kids Say the Darndest Things

Last night, I was preparing Jackson (3) for bed.  We were laying together cuddling, which is certainly a favorite part of my day.  My sweet little boy wrapped his chubby arms around my neck and in his syrupy delicious voice said (and I quote), "Mom, I only just hate you a little". 

Awesome.

Sweet dreams kid.  Sweet dreams.
