Summer Fun

We did a lot of fun things in June, and I was mostly good at documenting them. :) Since I'm so far behind (again!), I'm just going to lump it all into one post.

I came into the kitchen to find that Anna had some of her "friends" having dinner.

Since it was summer, and we had no where to be the next morning, we let them stay up waaaaaay past their bedtime and we had a family movie night...Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

A little early morning water gun playing before it got too hot out.

While we were at home playing, Daddy was catching fish at work with a spiderman fishing pole. :)

Then he came home and did a little multi-tasking.

Father's Day. None of them wanted to pose for my pictures. Sometimes, Mama wins. :)

He was a "shurgeon." He worked on Brandon's leg for a good little bit that afternoon. Thankfully, the surgery was a success.

A little physical therapy.

He was serving out a time-out.

Checking out the decorations for Aunt Vasha's upcoming wedding. Little did we know, we wouldn't get to see them at the actual wedding. :( 

(I've got several posts lined up that will explain that a little better.)

She got in trouble for running at the pool. She drug this chair as far away from her Daddy as she could get it, and then glared at him. Oh my...

We also had a Zoo day! Aunt Granny joined us, but I don't have any pictures of her.

Davis was mad that we were taking too long to get to the giraffe and elephant.

This one. My sweet girl. She was definitely singing "neener neener neener." Poor tiger. It's probably a good thing he couldn't hear her.

The obligatory kangaroo picture. One of these days I need to look back through my pictures and do a post with all of our kangaroo pictures. It's fun to see how much they grow.

On this day, she had missed her nap. Partly because we were busy, and partly because she was afraid she would miss something. I was taking way too long getting dinner ready, and she was throwing a fit by my feet. Davis came over and started loving on her...

...and rubbing her back! Sweet boy! He was telling her it was ok, and that Mama was trying to hurry. :)

My baby! She's getting so big! 2 1/2 seems like such a big milestone! So much personality in that tiny will body!

Annoyed that I laughed at her hat, and took a picture.

If you made it this far...you deserve a medal of some kind! Sorry for any typo's...I just didn't have it in me to proof-read. Check back in a day or so...I'll have my July Photo-A-Day post published.

Photo A Day...June 2014

Day 152...Swimming with friends. Thankful they have a pool next door!

Day 153...Because Nana has a hard time with "no."

Day 154...I had a little help deciding what to make for dinner. A little too much help. ;-)

Day 155...The last day of school! Thankful for a job that gives me time off with my babies.

Day 156...We spent our first day of summer vacation eating cookies at the mall with Nana.

Day 157...Making "minja" turtle Mac-n-Cheese for lunch today.

Day 158...Saturday morning cartoons.

Day 159...Perfectly acceptable Sunday attire. She BEGGED to wear this to church. This time, she lost.

Day 160...Big girl getting her tooth fixed. Don't be fooled. It looks like she was the picture of cooperation. Once the tools came out, it took 3 people to hold her down while they did their job. 3 people AFTER they had given her "giggle juice" AND "laughing gas." Mama needs a nap.

Day 161...At our third appointment of the week. At least they have toys!

Day 162...Summer in the pool.

Day 163...Lunch in the "pirate ship" with my tiny people. Tiny people who are still wearing their pajamas.

Day 164...Pizza picnic.

Day 165...The poor U-Verse repair man has plenty of help at our house.

Day 166...Happy Father's Day to the greatest Daddy our kids could possibly have! We all adore you!!

Day 167...Our afternoon play time got a little out of hand! :-)

Day 168...Yet another busted lip. She is DETERMINED to knock those top teeth out!

Day 169...All afternoon at the pool may have worn them out. I love it!

Day 170...Laundry day. She was NOT happy that I took her blankie out of her bed. She stood there FOREVER waiting for the washer to finish.

Day 171...Chuck-E-Cheese on a Friday night because Nana and Grandpa can't say "no."

Day 172...First day of summer on the farm: 74 and rainy. Perfect!

Day 173...We had a good weekend, but we're all happy to be back home with Daddy!

Day 174...He ALWAYS loos down at that playground and wonders where the kids are. Me too. Tons of appointments over the last 4 years at various times throughout the day and we've seen kids ONCE.

Day 175...I had the small one in baby jail with the iPad while the big one was doing the exact OPPOSITE of everything his physical therapist was telling him to do. Ugh. We need a "day 175 re-do!"

Day 176...I told them to put their shoes on so we could go. Princess "dress shoes" and a pop gun. Close enough.

Day 177...Zoo day!

Day 178...This boy loves swimming!

Day 179...I never get tired of the blurry pictures! God is so good!

Day 180...This little princess is 2 1/2 today! How?!

Day 181...Completely. Worn. Out.

In May...

...I didn't do very good at taking pictures (outside of my "photo a day"). However, the memories I did remember to document deserve a post. So, in May...

...We stayed up late on a Friday night:

And built a fort using our "picnic drop cloth" that is actually a sheet that was given to my parents when they got married. In 1979.

In May we also celebrated Mother's Day: 

I am so very blessed to be their Mama!!

They watch TV like this. A lot.

We celebrated Memorial Day honoring our hero's.

We set up a grocery store, and "cooked" lunch after church one day.

And, on May 29th, D had surgery #9: tonsils and adenoids came out, and a second set of tubes were placed in his ears. He has recovered nicely. He is eating, drinking, and sleeping so much better! And, hasn't been sick in the last month! Yay!
