Happy Wednesday!

We are trying to get into the groove of summer... which means the kids get up at soon as the sun is up, so like 6am... which is not okay for mama.  The best time is for us to play outside is early morning before it gets too hot, plus it is the best way to wear out their energy.  This morning our little buddy Will came over with his mama to play with us.  Will is about 5 months younger than Wheeler, so it will be very fun for us to see them grow up together, can't wait to stand on the sidelines of whatever activity they choose with his mama.

Little Will....
 
 

Check out Will's eyes... aren't they amazing?  They have so many different colors in them.  His mama and I are gonna have a heck of time keeping the girls away from our boys.  Check out Will's blog at The Spauldings...

 We are missing our daddy this week, but we are making it through the week.  Got big plans for the gym and pool this afternoon, definitely going to have to stock up on sunscreen this summer.

Uninvited guests...


Can you say creepy...?  Both of these little friends were spotted right by our pool last night.  Jeff gathered up the Tarantula and put him in Hutson's bug catcher, and the other spider makes it's home in the rocks by the pool... very disturbing.  Spiders are one thing that terrify me.  Not the itty bitty ones that we see around all the time, but these big ones like tarantulas, wolf spiders, garden spiders...etc.  Jeff decided it would be funny to chase me around the yard with this bad boy, and I am guessing it was pretty funny to everyone but me as I started running, crying and basically peeing my pants all within seconds of realizing what they had caught.  Hysterical Jeffrey, hysterical.

We decided to have our first little swim of the season last night, and the whole family turned up for it.  It was good times.


Hutson is a very conscientious little man, he won't go anywhere near the pool without his life jacket on... whew.

 Miss Tiffany, who I never seem to get any pictures of...
 Hutson trying out his new goggles...  well really just wearing them because he refused to try them out under water.
 GrAndi and Evee...

The Hipstamatic version of our life...

I frequently don't have my camera on hand when I want it, and if I don't I whip out my phone.... Which, lets be honest I ALWAYS have on hand.  I've mentioned this before but one of my favorite apps is the Hipstamatic app.  I have built up quite a collection of films and lenses in this little app, and we love to play with it.

We like to head to the park...

We LOVE to goof off around the house...

and the best of both worlds... goofing off at home outside!


I have put up quite a few posts this week, here are some links just in case you missed some.

Read all about our little house guest.

Check out our Memorial Day photos.

Everyone have a great weekend and GO MAVS!

House guest...

We were lucky enough to be able to have one of our favorite little friends for a sleepover last week while her parents hit up Mexico for the weekend.  We had so much fun.  Her and Wheeler are two peas in a pod, and have the best time together.

 Gorgeous Miss Iris...

 uh-oh... first kiss!  PS this was unprompted.. and completely adorable.


We love to play airplane...


 these three are seriously the goofiest bunch around... Non-stop entertainment.

Memorial Day

We spent it at the Ranch with the family.... and while we were there all day, I only managed to take pictures when we were on the trampoline.  It was technically supposed to be a gift for all the grandbabies, but everyone has a great time on it, and it is such a good workout!
