Watering The Lawn

With all of this hot weather our lawn has really been suffering so when the kids offered to water the lawn for me I thought that was a great idea.  Although I should have known that it was just there way of asking to play with the hose.  But either way they got to cool down and my lawn mostly got watered.

A Simple Solution

So I just had to share the conversation I watched my children having at the dinner table last night.   

Morgan: "I have this word stuck in my head and I can't stop saying it!" 

Liza: "When you have a word stuck in your head all you have to do is this" and this is when she hit herself really hard in the head. 

So now we all know the proper technique .  Thanks Liza!

4th of July

I am only about a week behind (not too bad)

Our 4th was a very busy weekend filled with lots of food and of course fireworks.  On Saturday night we hosted an Adam's Family BBQ where my amazing BBQ cook hubby grilled us all steaks.

 Then once it was dark we settled in for our own private show.  The kids had a blast lighting all of their own fireworks.

Then on Sunday we went to my brother's house for the Moon party where my husband again grilled us some yummy steaks  (I love summer!)  All of the cousins had a ton of fun playing together and the golf cart definitely played a role in that.

When sun started to go down we lined their roundabout  with chairs and blankets, ready for the show to start. 

The kids were very excited so we started with the sparklers.   I love sparklers but there is just something terrifying about 20 kids running around with fire sticks.

After the sparklers then we started with the arsenal of fireworks that everyone brought.  It was a lot of fun to be surrounded by friends and family.

A Hot Day at the Pool

Last Friday both Paul and I had the day off, so we decided it was a great day to go play at the pool with the kiddos.  Our rec center has an awesome pool and the kids LOVE it, especially when it is hot outside.

One of our favorites is the big dumping bucket.  This is what it looks like...

...and this is what it looks like when you are under it

Cam and Morgan also like to jump off the high platforms.  You wouldn't catch me up there!
