Watermelon- the summer candy!!

We had a TON of watermelon on Father's day and the boys and I could not stay out of it! YUMMY! I have to say it's one of the things that I look forward to most during summer--although with prices the way that they are we can hardly afford a $10 watermelon! Yikes! Here's some pictures of Logan enjoying his sweet fruit!

Block Party

I didn't know they even had them anymore... but Brandon's family does every year. We got to go this year, it was really fun. The kids were dancing around and there was some yummy food. Here's some fun pics from the night.

The girls thought it was so fun to dance with Logan-who was a willing partner. He loved every second of it.

Logan thought it was so funny to dance around with this face on:

Just a cute one

Lynne and her friend Megan who's leaving for college soon. They'll miss each other.

Our entertainment for the night. Ralph and Wavey live across the street and they are amazing people!

YUMMY! Homemade rootbeer- we had slushies at the end of the party.

Grandma and Logan eating watermelon.

Dad and Brandon-male bonding by the BBQ!

First haircut... bye bye curls...

We finally had to break down and do it. Brandon found a couple of LONG hairs on Landen's head and we just couldn't take it any longer. Plus he had rubbed off a bald patch on the back of his head so it looked like I gave him a haircut already.

Bye Bye Curls....

"what are you doing to me?" Poor kid.

And a pic of logan getting his hair cut. He does such a good job, we let him stand on the counter and look in the mirror while we do it. For some reason it calms his fears. He HATES getting hair in his mouth though and he tries to get it out with his hair covered hands and starts spitting everywhere. I always die laughing.

Daily Life

I try to remind myself how important living in the moment is. That my Daily life is what my children and I will remember. I try to treasure those little times that I think I'll forget in a couple years. Here's one: Logan doing a strange (and kinda scary) Kissing Tiger face. He kept chasing me around the house, growling and kissing!! he he so cute. He said, "Mommy, I'm the Scary Kissing Tiger. And these are my tiger paws" (holding up his claw-like hands)I'm so glad I got this picture of him!



And here's a picture of Landen when he just got out of his bath wrapped in a fluffy white towel. So sweet and he smelled sooooo good. He kept smiling and laughing in the bathtub, but when I went to take a picture of him, he refused to do either. I think he's going to be a big booger, like his older brother!! :)

Time Machines... why don't we have one?

We went to see Prince Caspian this last saturday with Brandon's parents. While we were there I saw an ad for the 3rd Ice Age movie- which is Logan's favorite movie. When we got home Lyndsay told him all about and he wanted to go right then and there to see it. She explained that it didn't come out until this summer, in the future. He looked up at me with big puppy dog eyes and said, "Mommy, you take me to the future?" I laughed and said, "sorry honey, I don't have my time machine right now!" Would have been nice to have one though. But then again, I treasure my time with my boys, don't want to miss them growing up for the world!!

Memorial Day at Leo's Place

So much for our BBQ we had planned! It rained all day-kinda reminded me of home! :) So we scratched our plans and headed over to Leo's place for burgers, pizza, and video games!! What more could you ask for? We spent the whole day together, shopping, eating, and playing games. Lynne- you still owe me a game of Harry Potter Scene it!! Here's some fun pictures from our day!
Hope you had a great weekend!
