Fun on the lake...

...so the oil hasn't made it to lake ponchartrain yet!!! what a better way to spend a saturday than on the boat with gramma and grandpa out on the lake! 5 boy cousins all having the time of their lives on their first trip ever tubing! yep, grandpa dusted off the ole tube from the attic and we gave it a whirl.  the boys thought it was awesome! so much fun had by all!!

Hope all of you are having a great summer too!

busy summer days

we are smack in the middle of VBS week at our church.  the kids are loving it! lots of carpooling and running around but it's worth it. riley and luke, my neice and nephew are coming too so it's a full, fun ride there and back each day.  they are loving the rainforest theme and i'm glad to keep them busy. i'll try to get some pictures before it's over.  i have been shopping some and trying to keep up with housework (is it just me or is that neverending?!) anyway, what are you staying busy with this summer?

New summer haircuts!!

end of school

wow, this school year is almost over! today is logan's last day of 3 year old preschool and jackson has kindergarten graduation on wednesday! i can't believe it.  my life is going by so fast and my boys are growing up way too fast.  i am a little stressed about summer already being here.  the boys have had their moments the last 2 weeks with fighting and not getting along and i know i'm going to have to keep everyone busy this summer to keep the peace around here.  we have already done swim lessons so swimming will be a big part of our schedule.  t-ball ends in 2 weeks and that is good and bad.  the practice and game schedules have kept us busy almost everynight but the boys love it and it's great exercise.  jackson is my academic kid so i'm going to have to schedule some workbook time to keep him happy. maybe some regular trips to the library? what do all of you do to keep busy and happy during the summer?!

we scheduled our annual beach trip for early this year and i'm praying the oil spill won't be a problem. it is all so sad and i've grown tired of watching the news about how it will affect everything. so discouraging.  anyway, we are only going for a few days this year because of my hubby's job but it will still be good to get away. the boys are already counting down days to the sand, surf, shells, and sun!!! hope you have a great week!

the joys of my life...

Summer is here and we are having a blast!

The boys are enjoying days filled with soccer, slip-n-slides, swim lessons and a whole lot of fun!
