It's Party Time!

Ayden is really into tractors, so of course when we decided to do a little family party it had to be tractors! His new favorite song is even Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. He can sing most of the words! We had hamburgers and cake, opened some great presents, had some water fun (sprinkler and water balloons), and jumped on the trampoline until dark (or maybe a little past dark). It was a great birthday!!

Who is the scariest creature - Ayden or Screecher?

Happy Birthday to Ayden!!!

Today Ayden is turning four. Time flies by so fast. We celebrated with a root beer float - Yummm! We will have a party this weekend. Happy Birthday Aydenbug!

Buggy Boys

The boys love, love, love bugs! They are constantly going bug catching and stopping to observe the critters they find. It is so fun to look at life through their eyes and see the treasures that we tend to overlook as adults.

More vacation pics!

Blake... Do you think this is deep enough yet??




Most of us enjoyed the feel of the sand between our toes, but of course Ayden had to go all the way!! We got him completely buried, and my camera was not working well. I sent Blake back to the room to get my other camera real quick. While he was gone, I asked Ayden if he could breathe okay since he had dirt on his chest. My little man has such a sense of humor and is all boy. He laughed and said, "I can breathe just fine, but I can't toot good." Oh what fun to be the mother of a bunch of little boys!!



Mermaid Man?


There are more pictures of Ayden, because he tends to be my most willing subject. He always has a smile even if it is a goofy one! Blake and Cordell get tired of me and won't even look my way.

Relax, Splash in the Waves, and Feel the Sand Between Your Toes!

Goofy kids! Maybe I can get them out of the bags and put some clothes in there soon.

Counting Down The Days!

Cordell looks like he is already on vacation, but the boys are all counting down the days until we leave on our actual vacation. The lazy days of summer are whizzing by, but we are enjoying every minute!

Ayden's Words of Wisdom

The other day, Granny and I took the boys to see the movie, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It was Ayden's first theater movie. He did really good. He only got a little antsy the last 20 minutes or so.

Ayden can say some of the funniest things some times. Anyways, on the way home this is the converstion we had:
Ayden: Mom, Am I so skinny?
Mom: No, Ayden you are not skinny, you are just right.
Ayden: But Mom, Look, I have lots of skin. It is on my hands, arms, legs, feet....... I am skinny.

I love it! We are all skinny!!

Fourth of July Fireworks and Fun!

Hotdogs, ice cream, and brownies were our 4th of July feast. We had bought a few little fireworks earlier in the week, and it had been a long awaited night. They could not wait to enjoy their fireworks, and enjoy they did!! They showed off with their sparklers and poppers. Cordell even helped light a few little tanks and colored smoke bombs. Ayden was a little leary of the sparks this year, but he had a great time anyways.

Ayden got bit by a yellow jacket earlier in the night. We gave him a dose of Benadryl, and he did not make it to the end of the fireworks. He was zonked out in Granny's lap when the last of the smoke and sparks fizzled out!

A Weekend At The Lake
