summer rain!!



The kids were sad when they woke up and it was raining.  They knew they wouldn't get to swim in the pool.  And then I reminded them that playing in the rain was super fun!!




Hayden especially liked getting dirty and muddy.  He is always the first one to splash in all the muddy water puddles!  Woo hoo!  We love summer!

Summer rain = bowling!






My best friend, Erin, and I signed our kiddos up for 'kids bowl free' all summer long!




Each kid gets to bowl 2 free games a day all summer long. All we pay for is shoe rental. Cool huh?!?




I know we won't bowl every day, but having the option is so nice!




I sure do love these four kiddos!!

our last camping adventure of the summer

Last weekend we had our last camping trip of the summer.  We went to Lake Whitney and met up with another family.  They decided to take their boat and vacation at Lake Whitney which just happens to be one of our favorite lakes!  We love this particular family because we all just click!  I'm sure you know what I mean.   Anyway, this post is packed with pictures!  



This is our campsite.  It was perfect.  We had a nice breeze coming off the water.  We could see our friends in their boat as soon as they pulled up to the dock. 



Hayden and Layla usually explore and play while Gary and I set up the campsite.  Gary does all the work outside the camper, and I do all the organizing on the inside of the camper.



Standing on the table is so inappropriate. sigh.




See the boat?  Our friends are ready for us to play!





All the kids together splashing in the water.




Hayden and his best buddy Jake.





Layla and her best buddy Maya.





Ahhhh! It's boat time!





The kids ove jumping off the back of the boat and the adults love floating in the water watching our kids show off!




I love the lake and the big puffy clouds!




Hayden got so relaxed he fell asleep.  He looks like a baby boy in this picture.  He kills me.  He was OUT like a light.  Big boy was exhausted!



Becky and I decided to try out the Sting Ray.  I'm so glad we did.  IT was tons of fun and I laughed to hard the entire ride.  It was an awesome time!




One of our favorite parts of the camping trip was seeing all the deer!



Daisy thinks she's a princess.  Sometimes we have to hand feed her while we are camping. 




Layla and Gary are the only ones that can get her to do her business.  She won't potty for me while camping.  Layla walked here several times a day on the road around our campsite.  Like I said, she thinks she's a princess.  If she gets grass burrs in her fur she bites them out and they stick to the fur around her mouth.  It's too funny!  She's a mess!





Hayden got a sticker in his foot, so dad to the rescue!




Hayden decided to go through the tackle box and the tool box.  He's cranking on his foot.  I just had to take a few pictures of him.  He's a goof!




The munckins are ready to fish before the storm hits!




I loved watching the clouds and seeing the rain storms come in!



It rained all afternoon!





So we watched golf and the kids watched a movie in the camper.



Once it stopped raining we went to our friends campsite to do some fishing before dinner.




Hayden and Jake played with the remote control boat...




and Layla and Maya played with fishing worms!






Doin' a little fishin'!




Becky caught one!!!





Hayden rode the Sting Ray too!!!!  I was so proud!






We had the best weekend away camping and fishing and swimming!




I am so thankful the kids enjoy camping, or at least act like they do!  heehee!  Gary and I love it!  We will miss being able to sneak away for weekend camping trips in the fall.  Once school starts that will be hard to do!  School starts TUESDAY!

If you have reached it to the end of this post you are a rock-star.  Whew, that was long.

Have a great Sunday!

our week in Instagram pics



Hayden's best friend BearBear lost his body/blanket.  Layla and Hayden were tugging on him and he lost his head.  I came to the rescue and BearBear is all better now.  Poor Hayden, he cried his eyes out.  He thought BearBear was a goner.




We went on a walk and died of heat at 9 am.




I cooked pinto beans in the slow cooker.  Mmmmm.  My favorite!





Layla had a sleepover with one of her besties.  They had a blast zipping around the backyard on Hayden's four wheeler.




The kids and I road tripped to my parents house for the night.  In the soaking rain.  
We love summer rain!!




We had lunch with my mom at a little hole in the wall Mexican food restaurant.  The kids were eating lemons.  Gotta love the sour face look!





The dogs had a fun time running around my parent backyard.  Daisy Mae always enjoys playing with my parents dogs.  My parents backyard is pretty awesome.




My mom is an aesthetician.  I really should abuse her services, but I don't.  I'm scared of pain.  Not that facials and eyebrow waxes are painful.  But anyway....

She gave me my first chemical peel.  I'm excited to see the results.  Oh and it wasn't too terribly painful.  At first it burned a little, but I didn't cry too loud.  





Layla was climbing the walls.  literally. 




This dress was my mothers when she was a little girl.  She asked Layla to put it on.  Layla did.  Then she started dancing around like a crazy person.  She's a hoot.  I thought it was cute that she wore a dress that old.  Ahem, not that my mom is old. 



We met our friends at the pool for some splashing in the water.  It was only 106 degrees.  Ugh!




My munchkins took over my bed.  All three of them decided to wake me up bright and early.  I didn't mind.  They are so sweet first thing in the morning.  It's later in the day they turn grouchy and start fighting with one another.  They have fought so much this week.  Sibling love....fun stuff right?!
