Just a Swingin'...

Summer is here! Sunshine, long days and tons of play time ..its my favorite time of the year. Summer is starting off great! 

last saturday the moon was suppose to be closer to earth than normal so we had to check it out. I liked this pic because it looks like the trees are holding the moon up =) 

Heather LOVES to swing.. she would swing all day if she could

she gets a little dirty sometimes but always smiling having fun

Im an airplane....

we have now mastered how to swing up side down.. she tried doing a flip too. She's my little daredevil =) 

We are all doing good and lovin the sun and time with our family and friends

sun and fun

Another great weekend w/ friends playing in the sunshine! 

we headed to the river with some friends and enjoyed some time on the boat and playing in the sun. It wasnt really hot which was nice but the water.. bbbrrrr... it was a bit chilly at first. 

we made a little stop in the town of Goff on our way to the river..its not much of a town anymore but we get out to stretch the legs and check out the trains =) 

Heather was running as fast as a train..this girl LOVES to run!

it kind of reminds me of radiator springs...

spent the weekend on the boat enjoying some sun

saw this cool car/ boat! it drove up on the beach afterwards too! CRAZY!

a very nice memorial to honor all that have and continue 

to keep our amazing country safe! 

the kiddos building some sandcastles

the water was far from warm.. but Heather still went in =)

 (Kev is over on the side) 

Hunter is our friends pup.. she's a great hunting dog and saw the ducks..

 we almost had duck for dinner! 

but she was called back so the ducks could enjoy the rest of their swim 

went over to watch the fireworks from the Avi.. amazing show! 

saw this HUGE competition boat on the way home..

 I cant even imagine what it would be like to ride in that! 

Kev and Heather went shooting with some of the group too and Heather shot the .22  6 times and hit a can.. she was so prould of her self. Kev helped her hold it.. she may be a sharp shooter soon HAHA! 

Its always nice to spend time with friends...

now.. lets see what next weekend has in store for us =) 

family fun

The weekend was once again wonderful! Busy but wonderful! Amongst the graduation and birthday parties we found some time to have some fun in the sun. I took advantage of the sun and cleaned up the patio including Heather's outside toys.

I had to clean the toy buckets so might as well have some fun since it was nice and warm outside.

Dingo and Molly guarded Heather as she was swimming in her bucket.. yes she has her arm floaties on. I told her she didnt need them but she wanted to wear them anyways...

water+sun= fun!!

a little game of tag your it!

this was from a few weeks ago when we had our family pics done

do you know what this is?? We couldnt help but get a few pics with this relic! it was clean and no graffiti either

here is my wonderful family..We realized we didnt have a group pic of our family with Kev's brother (Tracy's) family so we thought that would be the perfect mother's day gift for their mom =)

 

creative day..

 another amazing weekend! I just love sunshine.. and weekends! Sunday was just so nice and beautiful that we decided to have a crafy creative day. We got some popsicle sticks at the craft store and a few more paints and then let our creativity run free =) we started making some houses out of the popsicle sticks and while those dry we got out the paints.

at first it was fun painting on the paper and see what could be made and then..

it was more fun to see what colors we could make with the paint

one color was this pretty purple! and since the plate was full of purple paint there was only one thing to do.. step in and have some fun! doesnt our walk way look beautiful!

after pouring some of the paint out of the other plates this is what Heather created.. I just love the waterfall looking one. Im hoping it dries well so I can spray some clear coat on it and frame it

 

Saturday was Super truck day! We headed to the Coliseum to watch the stadium trucks.. we were sooooo excited. There was about 10 of us all together so we took a limo.. it was so cool! Heather had a blast! (we got a killer hook up on a limo and when you figure the expense for all of us to drive and parking etc and not have to deal with traffic.. so worth it!)

 

our seats were right in front of start finish so we could watch them jump and they would light off the flames.. it was pretty cool!

watching the super trucks and monster trucks jump through the peristyle arches was amazing!  

I like to make shapes for Heather's sandwiches.. I cut out 2 hearts and 1 bone.. this is what was left.. a monster sandwich LOL it made me laugh how the pb & j look like eyebrows. I had cut a triangle out of the part left between the heart eyes.. she cracks up when I do silly things like this :)

Cant wait for more fun and sun this weekend...

some dirty fun...

The weather has been wonderful and the hubby was going stir crazy so we headed off to the desert for a little fun. No riding or little drives in the dirt until he's better but defiantly had some nice walks and enjoyed the beautiful desert! We went with some friends and had a little (week after) Easter egg hunt too. We were out numbered by the kiddos but survived... LOL

the sunset was so amazing

the kiddos loved throwing rocks 

they were looking for diamonds... =) 

when kids go wild..

Heather and her buddy Aaron looking for eggs

I just love these little silly faces!!! 

my friend and my cousins pups.. they are brother and sister. Bronson and Remi.. so cute! 

the kids and the dogs enjoyed chasing the RC truck

my little wild child

It was a nice break to get away with some friends and family =) 

Friends and Fun...

we are loving!! this weather! Sunshine and friends is always good. Kev is re-cooping well, still sore and cant lift more than 10# which is absolutely driving him crazy but its only been 3 weeks. He's trying to be patient while everything heals but trying to keep an active guy down.. its not easy!  Thankfully the weather has been wonderful so he has gotten out for many, many walks and even met a few neighbors a couple of blocks away. We had a friend filled weekend! Last weekend my friend Lisa and I thought it would be fun to take our little ones to a kickboxing class at the park... another friend has been taking her daughter which is about the same age so we went to check it out. Turns out the three girls were the youngest by far and maybe a class more designed for younger kids would be better. We all got together again this past weekend and had some more fun in the sun! Heather and Emily love playing dress up together and finding all kinds of stuff to check out. 

 

the girls kept picking up those sticker balls and found them sooooo neat! 

they were so proud of the sticker balls they found =) 

the neighbor kids came over to play..

Not really sure what they were making but they were having a good time

swinging is always fun

the girls having fun on their "stage" 

Dingo was ever so patiently waiting for Heather to toss the water in the air.. her dog LOVES chasing water.. 

Heather pretty much drenched her self throwing the water in the air for her pup but Dingo appreciated it 

I absolutely love that Heather can find enjoyment in everything she does =) 

cant wait to see what new adventures the Easter bunny is going to bring this weekend.....
