Backyard Fun

Our backyard is not all that big.  Admittedly, if we were ever to move, that would be one of the first things I would be looking for is more outdoor space.  But today we managed to pack our tiny space full of outdoor fun!


 It started with the batting net.  Owen and Joe both started t-ball a few weeks ago and Ryan wanted to buy them a net to be able to practice hitting into.  They both hit a little off the tee and then Ryan pitched a few to Owen.  He did really well!  Truth be told, I even hit a few myself.  I was having fun right up until I missed the net and hit one clear over our garage, over the alley and into the neighbor's yard.  I decided it was best I took a break after that.  It was a great purchase though, because it really is a lot of fun.






The next new addition was the bounce house.  A few of our friend's have them and it seemed like such a great idea.  Easy to put up and take down and so much energy to be spent jumping!!  I finally bit the bullet and bought our own.  With only 6 weeks left of school, we need things to keep us busy this summer.  ;)

Crazy Hair Day!!

After a last minute trip to Walmart for some colored hair spray and super hold gel,
Owen is sporting a full on mohawk (his choice) for crazy hair day at school.

Best Husband Ever!!

Ryan is by far the most generous and thoughtful person I have ever met.  This morning he reminded me of that when I walked out to the car to find this....


A gift certificate to one of my favorite spas, just because he loves me.  :)

It's Tough

There are two things that are admittedly hard work....

Staying awake at the grocery store,


And looking this cool!

Puddle Jumpers

True the alley might not be my first choice for location,
but to the boys, a puddle is a puddle, and it needs to be jumped in.

Spiderman Times Two

Thanks to my mom and the costumes she got the boys for Christmas,
our house is a much safer place these days.

Pure Excitement

One of my all-time favorites of Miles' emotions is excitement.  He opens his mouth up wide and jumps up and down like a bunny rabbit....it's amazing.  I love it!  Thankfully I just so happened to catch it on video.  Who knew going outside could be so exciting??

Swinging Sillies

 Miles loves when he is on the swing and I let it bump into me as he is coming towards me.
I act like I don't see the swing coming, then make a silly noise and act startled when it hits
me.  He thinks it is hilarious!  Come to think of it, I think all my boys loved that silly joke.
For smiles like these, I'll take "surprise" bumps all day long.
