Summertime

The boys and I have been trying to stay cool in this intense heat here in Dallas! We spend much of our days swimming or playing indoors. I am definitely ready for it to start cooling off a bit so we can head outside to the parks! B and C are full of energy and need to get it out and the parks seem to be a great way to do it!
I signed Bryson up for soccer so we are looking forward to that! He was a bit upset when I went to sign him up. He thought he was going to get to play right then and there. I tried to explain to him we were just signing him up and we would start practicing and playing in a couple of weeks but that didn't seem to settle well with him and he was throwing a huge fit. Hard headed just like his momma!
Caleb is very interested in "locking and unlocking" doors. He carries keys around with him everywhere. We found some old keys and gave them to him. He loves them and has to lock and unlock the car door, front door, etc.

Caleb hard at work sorting through his business cards!Sending out an email!On the carousal at the mall.Caleb on Bryson's bike. Bryson refused to try to ride his bike. Caleb loved it! Bryson wanted to ride the tricycle which is way to small for him. He still will not peddle though.Playing at the pool!My little fish!Playing on the steps.
Caleb was playing with his car but he stopped and posed for me.Bryson happy about his "skyscraper" that he built. Victor with his mini-me!This is at Watters Creek. Neat place that has shopping and dining and in the middle is this grassy area that has this creek that the boys just love! Anytime Bryson sees water he now asks, "Is there fish in dere? sharks in dere? crocodiles in dere? turtles in dere?" They also have this buffalo statue. Anytime we tell Bryson to hug brother or put your arm around brother, this is what we get...a choke hold, lol. Caleb was not amused by this buffalo.A little painting. Bryson painted an elephant.Caleb painted a lion.After they painted their elephant and lion Bryson wanted to paint dinosaur footprints...And since B was still painting C thought he needed to paint something else too. Painting is fun!! We went to the park one Saturday morning hoping to beat some of the heat but it was still soooo hot even in the shade. Caleb decided to drive for a bit.Bryson on the monkey bars. After Victor put him on the bars Bryson said, "Daddy don't do that." I think he got scared.Notice the key in Caleb's hand. Has to go everywhere with it.Caleb climbing up the "rocks."

4th of July

We decided to head to Lubbock for the 4th! So glad we did! We had such a good time! Friday we went to my sister's house and they have a community wide fish fry and then we watched fireworks! The boys were exhausted so they fell asleep before the fireworks. Caleb did wake up and saw some of them but we didn't really get a reaction out of him, maybe next year! Saturday morning we woke up bright and early to get ready to head to Aunt Lindsey's and Uncle Vance's house for the Ransom Canyon parade. The boys got to ride on a float and they loved it! After that they had a barbeque and a bounce house. Fun! Then the boys went swimming with their cousin Brock and had so much fun. Bryson got really brave and was going down the slide all by himself! Later Saturday evening we headed to my in-laws for some more barbeque. All in all it was a great time! Looking forward to next year.

Randomness of the Past Few Weeks

Bryson had Vacation Bible School at the beginning of June. He loved it and was excited about going every day! I volunteered and really enjoyed it too!!

Our first night of VBS. Caleb thought he needed to be in the pic too :)
Being Silly!



My boy's on Father's Day.



My birthday!




Vic took Bryson to Lowe's one Saturday morning. They have an activity for the kids every other Saturday. This visit was building a pirate ship. He came home with a pirate ship, apron, and goggles.

Hard at work!

Almost finished.

All Done!

Caleb trying the goggles out.

What a multitasker! Doctor and Handyman all in one!

Lubbock Visit

We went to Lubbock this past weekend. Had a great time! The boys are in another world when they are there! They get so much attention and they just love that! When we are at Mimi's house they want to play outside all day because Mimi has a swingset. Then when we go to Grandma and Popo's house they have all their cousins to play with! Mommy likes it because I can relax a little, lol! Everybody else is keeping the boys entertained so it gives me a little break!
Caleb about to slide.

My boys swinging!

Went to Dairy Queen for some ice cream with Grandma and Cousin Tana.

Awww! Look at the ice cream face!
