Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's House

We had lots of fun visiting with Grandma and Grandpa last weekend. Grandma made lots of treats, and Gabriel loved watching her cook. And Grandpa got the boys so tickled when he tried to use their feet as a phone. They were cracking up over that. Mommy got a pedicure, and Daddy and Grandpa waited for the girls in Best Buy.

YeeeeeeHaaaaww!!!

The boys love playing with thier spring horse. Noah has started taking off his hat and yelling yeehaw. It is so funny. He really loves that horse, as you can see. He gives it kisses all the time.

Clay Creation

Gabriel, my little artist, made this beautiful sculpture of mommy out of Playdough. He made eyes, ears, nose and smile. He also gave mommy a beautiful green shirt with a big bump in the front...... Wonder what that is????

Reading to the Grandbabies

Mamaw came to visit this past weekend. We had such a wonderful time. Jason and I took advantage of having a babysitter and cleaned out our garage. I major job that we did on a very hot humid day. It wasn't fun. But the boys had a great time. I just LOVE these pics of mamaw reading to my boys. What a precious moment.

Trip to the Beach

Well Mom and Heather (my niece) are visiting and we decided to take an actual trip to the beach. I have been there several times. Shopped around the beach stuck our feet in. But we had never actually taken a trip to the beach to swim. Noah and Gabriel had a great time splashing thier cousin. But we had to stay right by noah with our eyes on him all the time. He is fearless. And even after falling face first several times he still wanted to walk into the deep water.

the ice cream truck

We have an ice cream truck that goes thru our nieghborhood. We have heard it several times, and never got any ice cream. But it came thru a couple of times the other day so we decided to treat the boys. It was exciting. They ran after daddy, picked the one they wanted off of the truck and ran back to show me thier treat. It was a mess!!!! But it sure was fun.

Pity Party

Oh the Drama!!! When Gabriel doesn't get his way he has taken to pouting. My mom used to call them pity parties. I remember my own pouting, and getting so mad when mom would say, "sorry I don't want to come to your pity party" Now I feel like I am getting what I deserve, "what goes around comes around"

Fixing Mommy's Swing

Gabriel is helping Daddy to put mommy's backyard swing together. This is the swing that Jason got me on my birthday the first year we were married. He bought me another swing this year on our anniversary for my new front porch. I love porch swings. This one is beautiful, it is made of teak and it has a rose carved in the back and under the seat. I can't wait till he can get it put up. But I think it is a two person job. So I am hoping my dad can come up and help him hang my swing.

Meeting Family

When we moved here we found out that we had family that lived close by. Jason's Great Aunt and Uncle, Edith and Joe Deml. They came over for a visit. It was wonderful. They are such nice people, and Edith knows a lot about Jason's family history. She brought a picture album and we all looked through it. They were so generous. They brought us a housewarming gift, a mastercard gift card with $100 on it. Wow, how nice was that. And they brought the boys a gift too, the disney dumbo dvd. We really had a wonderful visit. They have invited us to meet the rest of their family in the fall. What fun it is to meet new people and even better to meet people in your family.
