life lately

We have been having so much fun this summer, I don't want it to end! I know I've said it before, but my firstborn is starting all day kindergarten next Monday and I'm dreading it. I'm going to miss that boy so much!

Let's take a look at what we've been up to!

I took the kids to the library a few weeks ago and Brayden participated in a lego challenge with his buddies - they had so much fun!

After the library, we walked over to the ice cream place and indulged :)

Right outside the ice cream place is a little splash pad so we hung out there for a while. The kids loved it!

Cousins! These two are so cute!

Brayden got a dinosaur kit for his birthday so he spent one day digging for the bones

Daddy & son digging away :)

More backyard fun! Miss A LOVES the water table!

2 kids ready to go! They look HUGE to me on their little bikes

I can't believe how well Ella rides her bike! She literally just got on it the first time and took off. This is quite the opposite of her brother

We live in an unincorporated area so there are no sidewalks, so we took them to the park which also has a tennis court so they could ride around

I took the kiddos to Home Depot the other day and this is how we roll :) I swear I get so many looks when I go out with them, LOL

We spent the afternoon fort building the other day. 

 

This little cutie was having a blast rolling around and being tickled :)

We took a page out of Momfessionals and had an Eric Carle day.  We read The Very Grouchy Ladybug and made grouchy ladybug crafts.  I just love their grouchy faces :)

This cute went to his new school last week and met his teacher and saw his classroom.

Brayden needed an eye exam for school and he passed with flying colors

The boy cousins! 

My nephew and me at the park :)

The bigger cousins enjoying their freeze pops on a hot day!

We met up with the hubs and several other family members at a local golf course where they were all playing in an outing. The kids wanted a ride on the golf cart SO bad so the hubs took them out :)

It was my father in laws 60th birthday last weekend so we celebrated with lots of cake :)

We took the kids to our local lake to go paddle boating.  We tried out the new work out equipment they installed while we waited.

The hubs went to sit down on the bench and asked Ella to sit with them....

and this was her reply.  She did NOT want to sit on the bench.  All she wanted was to get on the paddle boat but it was such a long wait.

Finally getting ready to get on!!

And we're paddling :) I was in back with Brayden but came in front to help paddle. The kids enjoyed it so much!

Happy Tuesday everyone!
