Future Soccer Star

A few pregame stretches.

Learning to roll it off the bottom of his foot.

And Declan thought it was fun to wear my shoes while I watched Carson.

A cute video of Carson trying to figure out how to bounce it off his knee.

Backyard Campfire

Roasting marshmallows like a pro.

Nothing better then marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers!

Summertime at Grandma's

We're at Grandma and Papa's this week and it's been busy.

We went to the zoo where we mostly climbed on rocks and played on the playground.

Declan also rode the VERY fast carousel. Somehow Papa got chosen to ride on it, seeing how he and I have the weak stomach I'm not sure how that happened. But he was a trooper and rode not once, but twice. Seems Declan has the ability to ride things like that without feeling sick for hours after wards. Carson, I'm afraid to say, has mine and Papa's tummy.

We visited another park where we found a clown making balloon animals. Carson requested a red puppy and Declan in his indecisive ways first asked for a turtle, didn't like it since it was for his wrist, so he then requested a teddy bear. And he would go no where near the clown for a picture but he did say thank you.

They also had a bounce house at the park. The boys played so long they got kicked out.

And then we went swimming.

Where Carson had a blast with all the fountains.

Tomorrow its time to go back home. We're all anxious to see daddy and hopefully enjoy some more summertime activities.

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day!

We had a fun and busy day.

First we hit the parade!

Then we hit Falls Park (along with several other people)

Took the elevator to the top of the tower at Falls Park.

Enjoyed some free ice cream....

before we ate lunch....you can do that sometimes!

Climbed the rocks.

Went to a friends house for a BBQ.

And watched the daddies blow off some fireworks.

Then went to a field where we watched a bunch of fireworks.

And stayed up way too late (it was midnightwhen they went to bed)but had a blast doing it anyway!

P, P, P....what begins with P?

Pool

Picnic

Peanuts

Since summer has finally arrived the boys have mastered the art of being a pool bum! It's really not that hard to do. We've also enjoyed LOTS of picnics which has led us to learning our peanut cracking skills.

Happy Father's Day!

This is our daddy. Can you believe he can actually sleep like this? Mommy always gives him grief for being able to sleep anywhere and anyhow. Personally, we just thinks she's jealous of his (and our) narcoleptic ways. Our daddy is also really good at lots of other things too. And since today is Father's Day, which according to mommy means its daddy's special day and he need do whatever he wants, (I hope he wants to go swimming) Declan and I thought we would share with you why our daddy is so special.

He's the best daddy because he wrestles with us, plays airplane with us, let's us play Legos on the tv when Mommy's at work, takes us to the park, lets us help him mow the lawn, lets us help him with the basement, catches the kitties for us so we can pet them, takes me to school, builds sand castles in the sand box, takes us swimming, watches movies and cartoons with us, goes to work everyday so we can eat at Pizza Ranch and McDonalds, (and he mentioned a whole lot of other things he needs to work for but these two stuck out in our mind) lets me snuggle with him in the morning, fixes our broken toys, plays catch with us, reads us books every night and tucks us into bed every night.

Mommy said he's special because he loves us and takes care of us and brings home the bacon (I prefer sausage though!) and because he'd do anything for us.

We love you daddy! Happy Father's Day.

Love,

Carson and Declan
