Camping

Dan had this past Monday off of work so we decided to pack up and go camping at our local state park.  We had a blast, got at least some rest (thanks to our new air mattresses), enjoyed nice weather, and got to do all kinds of outdoor activities. 

Setting up. Luke loves helping Daddy get things ready…and always has his Batman sword handy.

On our nature walk!

Looking at tadpoles.

Camp fire food: hot dogs and Smores. 

Luke trying out the ax.  He loves tools, and yes we were watching him.

The boys brought their light sabers to have battles in the woods with Daddy.  Never leave home without your weapons.

The next day we went to the BMX course and the new playground at the park.

Fun times in the kitchen

Last week we had 4 days in a row in which it did not get above 35 degrees.  Two days didn’t get above 29.  So needless to say, we were inside A LOT!!!  So one day we decided to bake some cookies.  And then just to add another level of fun (and me some more picture opportunities) I let them make milk bubbles!  They had a blast and it made for some fun during a really cold week.

 

 

 

Check, Check 1,2,3 anyone there….

Well, its been literally forever since I have posted on the blog.  I was super busy this summer and then I had some technical difficulties with the BLOG itself and fall and the holidays have come and gone.  But here I am again willing to give it a try.

Here are some pics of the boys on the trampoline.  They absolutely love it and Im thankful they can burn some energy.  BUTTTTT, as you may have guessed, they can get pretty wild.  And at the moment, Nathan actually has a broken arm from the trampoline. 

Fun times in Huntsville

We had a blast getting to spend a week up in Huntsville with Grammy, Papa, and Uncle Kevin.  We stayed busy the whole time and had a blast!!!

At the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Decatur, AL.  Boys sharing ice cream, wearing matching glasses, and checking out the hot air balloons.

 

Uncle Kevin was a huge hit!

A great creek right by my parents’ house.

Another fun creek down here in Birmingham.  These boys love creeks and they are great for burning off energy!

Papa’s Co-captains!

 

Strawberry Picking right outside of Huntsville.

 

 

 

A big catch behind Grammy and Papa’s house.  Someone was pretty excited!

Wild Animal Drive Through Safari.  Check out those teeth!

 

 

Catch up post #2

Ok I will continue with the catching up pics.  If you want to see the earlier ones just scroll down to the previous post before this one.  I have a lot of catching up to do. 

Mean and scary biker dude and getting the hang of it biker boy.

My big graduate!!! So cute

I guess that’s it for now.  I need to finish editing all the other fun events.  We are blessed for the many many fun memories.  Glory to God for this family.
