Quick Update

It's been awhile since I've posted, I KNOW. I've been having some trouble with my computer and I'm too cheap to replace it right now. I bought a king size bed instead!

Anyway, so here is a quick update of the last couple of weeks:

Father's Day was pretty uneventful because it rained all day till about 5:00pm. We did make it out for some ice cream after the rain. The boys got a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich to share, but Caleb didn't want to share. We told him that he could either share or have none at all. He chose none at all...OMG he is so stubborn.

I had a girls' night out to celebrate Jen's birthday. We had a lot of fun. I haven't been out on a Friday night till 10:00pm for a LONG TIME.

We've been busy having BBQ picnics (when it's not raining). Caleb has discovered the joys of frozen food coloring...he probably had 6 frozen pops one right after the other and loved each sliver of ice.

I was too interested in capturing this moment of the boys on the slide together that I didn't even think about catching Riley at the end. This is no little slide, it stands about 12ft tall and when Riley hit the bottom....let's just say that I have guilt every time I see this picture and felt guilt for about 3 days afterwards from looking at the bump on his forehead.

I'm a great mom...

Caleb has learned how to shuck corn and has decided that he doesn't like the thin strands of the husk on his hands, but really enjoys pulling off the outer part.

And we've had some mud time. The boys are very different when it comes to mud time. Caleb doesn't like to get dirty and insists on spraying off every couple of minutes, but Riley loves to get dirty and run around until the mud dries and flakes off....

And that's what we've been up to.

I am amazed and strangely proud that you bought a king size bed! All I can think is that it is about time!

And I too have forgotten about the kids so that I can get that perfect picture. I'm sure Riley will never remember and now you will always remember that day because of the picture!

Miss you!

I love the picture of Riley all muddy. The one of Caleb shucking the corn is pricless too. If that was John he would be furious I put a pic on the blog of him in his underwear. lol

Hmmm....new computer...king size bed...hmmm...good choice:)

Looks like Caleb and Spencer have a common joy-running around in just underwear!! Sometimes we are lucky he even puts them back on when he gets out of the bathroom:)

The picture of Riley looks exactly like the one JoAnn has of Shawn in the mud. So funny. Miss you all!

King beds are awesome! Especially with kids. We aren't as grumpy when Liz climbs in as we were when we had a queen. . . . I love the picture of all the boys in matching outfits. Cute. . . . And you are looking lovely!
