Summer Fun

Sorry these posts are so late but Matt's grandmother, Grams, she was 99 years old passed away the first of the month so we went to Memphis for a couple of days to be with the family. Unfortunately we could not make it to Michigan for the memorial service but most of the brothers and his mom met in Memphis, it was good to see everyone. We also got to meet Matt's dad and his new wife. We will miss Grams but I know she is very happy.
Matt is doing some work to our backyard which is a big mudfest for the boys since it has been raining so much. Jack is such a daddy's boy he is the first to run to Matt when he walks in the door. Dont get me wrong Luke loves to help daddy but Jack is always under Matt's feet. So anyways Jack was helping Matt and Uncle Rick build the temporary retaining wall in the backyard. We are camping in the bottom picture. But since it has been rainy one minute and dry the next we are breaking out some of the winter activities. Come on sunshine, I need to get outside and they DEFINITELY need it, as well as every other mom is saying right now.

BMX Ramps was a Hit

Touch A Truck was a Dud

Earlier this month I took the boys to Touch A Truck, Matt was at a golf tournament. It was very last minute and I just threw them in the car thinking they are going to love this. I would have bet money that they would have loved it. They totally flipped out as soon as they turned the sirens on the police car. So the entire time they would not get out of the stroller and kept their ears covered. Luke at the very end wanted to do the forklift it was the only thing we did. He was so serious while he was raising and lowering the forklift. As we were leaving they saw the BMX ramps and thought they were huge slides, and we played there the longest. So next year no touch a truck just BMX ramps.

4 Little Monkeys Playing at the Zoo!!!!

We recently took our "little monkeys" to Zoo Atlanta. We became members this year, so I'm sure we will be posting more pics throughout the summer. The kids had a blast and at the end of the day we let them play at the playground at the zoo. They were so tired they were asleep before I pulled out of the parking lot. It was a nice drive home. To get the kids to sit down and look at the camera is impossible, so sorry for all the random shots. Thanks Ashley, Annie Grace, and Addie for a fun day.

Happy Birthday Jack!!

On Monday (his actual birthday) Jack had a small birthday party, we had cupcakes and ice cream with some fabulous neighbors. Tomorrow I am making cupcakes to take to his school and then I think this month long birthday will be over. Now we are going to get to battle the "tough twos", so if you hear a screaming child in any store around town, their is a good possibility it will be us.
