IN OUR PAJAMAS!!

Ready, set, GO......

This weekend was freezing cold her in Georgia.  We pretty much hibernated all weekend long and didn't leave the house.  We are on a 'saving money' mission and so we did everything fun here at home we could think of.

We played Life!

They played Legos and the used a Home Depot box to set up Lego scenes.

We did gymnastics and worked on our flexibility.

We read books.

We played on our iPads.

We ate decorator dogs, otherwise known as hot dogs with all kinds of toppings.

We played poker.

Hayden kicked his feet back while eating popcorn.

We played multiple games of checkers.

The mini chef made cupcakes.

They were cute and tasted amazing!

We had a fun weekend just the four of us...... In our pajamas!

double dates

We love to hang out as a family of four, but we also know that it's important for individual time together. Today Layla and I went to a small beach area with one of her friends and her mom.

The boys went to play golf.

Hayden is feeling much better after many itchy days and I'm so thankful he enjoyed his day with dad on the golf course.  We ended the day with dad grilling a yummy beef tenderloin.  It was a fun Monday! 

swim, swam, swum

We have been having some fun pool days.  The kids love to try to catch the football while jumping off the diving board.  Watch out for Hayden, he throws HARD!

Gary had three balls flying at him at once.  It's hard to see, but they're cruising his way.  The neighbor next door has become a fun friend and so he was in on the football fun!

Gary was showing off his diving skills and so I decided to try to dive also.  I haven't tried diving in years.  

I was laughing so hard when I saw these pictures Gary snapped of me while driving.  I look like I know what I'm doing. LOL!  I'm not even that great of a swimmer, but my dive isn't half bad. 

Layla has been a great swimmer for the past 2-3 years.  She's confident and splashes around and I don't worry about her too much.  Hayden on the other hand acted like he could barely swim the first few times he got in the pool this season.  Gary joined him in the pool one time and showed him a few things and now he's a wild man.  He jumps off the diving board like a pro and swims to the side of the pool with confidence.  He's doing great too.  I have two little fish that both love the water.

 It's crazy how my days at the pool have changed.  I may have to buy some magazines to browse through while I sit and watch the kids.  The pool does have life guards, but I still like to keep an eye on my little swimmers, so I'm not sure if I could actually try to read a book.  It's early in the summer and I'm excited about all our fun days to come!

first grade field day

Hayden's field day was bright and early this morning.  Gary and I went to school to hang out for a bit.

Hayden loved his sno-cone and he loved running and playing even more.  He is so competitive!

My favorite game was this one above....

The kids had to fill a bucket with water with a cup that has holes in the bottom.  It's so funny to watch them giggle and laugh as they try to strategically fill the bucket!  They love getting soaking wet!  

What a fun way to start the week.  

Only 12 more days of school and then summer is here!!  WooHoo!

Monday Funday

Gary and I went to Top Golf again yesterday.  The kiddos had to go to school and they were both trying to talk us into skipping school.  No way Jose!!

We met my Aunt and Uncle there!  They're here in GA visiting from Texas!

It is so beautiful here in GA with no rain in the forecast!  It's been so rainy lately.  You bet your last dollar Gary and I took the top off the Jeep!  Woohoo!  It felt amazing to have the sun on our bodies!

Auntie and Donny Ray came over for a few hours to visit with the kiddos. It was a fun day Monday indeed!

top golf fun

Gary and I wanted to play golf today, but it's been so rainy and wet.  The courses would be so nasty!

Top Golf to the rescue!!  It was a new and fun experience for both of us.  It was so fun and it is dangerously about 20 miles from our house. We may wear out our welcome.  I was shocked by how much I enjoyed our date day!

It looks like virtual golf, but the tee-box is completely covered and the balls fly out into open air.  It's an awesome concept!  There are different holes labeled with different colors which make it easy for competition.  I loved it because there is a computer screen sorta like with bowling and when you hit the ball it displays how far you crush it.  We played several competitive games (who can get closest to the center of a particular color hole) and then we just hit the ball around.  Gary brought his own clubs, but I just used the free clubs they had there.  

All that swinging the club made is hungry and thirsty.  We had a very attentive waitress and she made sure we had plenty of food and drink.  We ordered this 'mushi' appetizer.  It was cute of course, but tasted fresh too.  We also indulged in a bloody Mary and it did not disappoint!

It was a fun day date and I can't wait to take the kiddos!  They were a little sad when they found out we went without them.  They love golf as much as we do!
