Weekly Randomness

This week was just another week...
 
Cody did some reading while
Kade had a dentist appointment.
He loves sharks and will read
everything about them.

 
Can you spot my hard working hubby?
They took a break for a crew pic
while some of the big bosses
were out for a visit.
 
 
And while he was slaving away,
this was happening.
The boys said eating straight from
the carton was ok because it's
summer and that's what you do.
I didn't argue!
 
 
Cousins came for a visit this week too!
Yay!  The boys love playing
around with Landree.

 
We went to the zoo one morning
and the animals were the
liveliest I've ever seen!




We made it to our 30 day mark
for our Jamaica trip!
We have been counting down
the days ~ believe me!
 
 

The 30 day mark called for grilling steaks
and having drinks with the besties to talk
about the trip.  The airlines changed
our flight plan, and now we have
an over night stop in Miami, Florida.
Darn.  Don't we just hate that.
An extra day in paradise.
We've made some plans to check
out South Beach and visit some tiki
bars on the beach and have dinner
from food trucks.  Can't wait!

 
 
Our cucumbers have started growing!

 
Our carrots are doing good too.

 

We are still getting lots of
tomatoes and peppers from
our plants.  I did pull out one of our
tomato plants because it wasn't
producing anything.  More room
for our growing and growing
cucumber plants.  :)

 
Fresh sliced pepper and tomatoes
straight from our garden for omelets.
So Yummy!

Ultimate Summer Fun Day Part 1

Today we declared a
Cherne Ultimate Summer Fun Day!
Marking off many things
from our Summer Bucket List.
(I'm going to do this post in
2 parts because there are so
many pictures to upload)
 
First Up....
No. 23 ~ Have ice cream with
our pancakes
 
Very delicious!
 



No. 7 ~ Take the dogs to the park
 
They LOVE being in the open
and just running their little
hearts out!
 

 




We had a water balloon toss
just for fun.  Rylee and Kade
against Cody and Me!
 
Of course we were the champs!


No. 38 ~ Water Balloon Fight
This just might be our
favorite bucket list item.
 
No one shows any mercy!
 
 
Some boys take it more
serious than others.
 
 
 
 
Cops always wants to get
KC for throwing things at his
boys.  He is very protective.
 



He even tried to jump up
and catch a few balloons.  :)

Ultimate Summer Fun Day Part 2

No. 1 - a day of outside swimming
 
and kissing mom when
you're soaking wet
is so much more fun.
 
 
 

No. 5 ~ color eggs and have
an egg hunt
 
Do you know how hard it is
to find egg dye in July!?!
The KoolAid worked great though.
 
 


We decided to number all the
eggs with points.  Whoever hunted
the most points won 5 bucks!
Kade found 9 points
Rylee found 38 points
Cody found 45 points
 He was one happy little boy!

 

No. 39 ~ Pop fireworks
 
We didn't get to pop fireworks
this 4th because we were in Red River.
Popping them a little late wouldn't hurt.
 

We always have our favorites.
Smoke Bombs!
 
What little boy doesn't like to play
with fire when they can?

 
This little boy!
He's crazy!



Snakes!
We actually had some
good snakes this year!

 
It was a great day!
We really needed just a
good family day!

A Rainy Week

 

Cody and KC went and messed
around out at the river with
a couple of friends today.
I knew it would be the kind of
riding I would not approve
of ~ so I stayed home!
 

I think it's safe to say we have
hit the summer road block.
The boys have been on my
nerves SOOO bad this week.
I'm sure it goes both ways.
 
So I took a time out and did
a little crafting.  I made these
bird feeders we saw in a magazine.
The birds love them!

 
More tomatoes and a few peppers
from the garden.

 

And we went to visit the
Great Grandparents.
The boys wanted to take them
stuff from our garden.  :)

 
I for one am soooo glad it's
Friday and am ready for a new week!
