Hip Hip Hooray!!! It's officially summertime around here! Inservice is over until August, hot weather is here, swimming pool is calling our name, popsicle recipe book is here....oh yeah, it's summertime!

Last weekend was Memorial Weekend. We are so blessed to live in the country we do and so thankful for the men and women who have fought for and are still fighting for our freedoms! Thank you...if you are one of them!

We got to go watch my cousin, Jennifer graduate from high school! She was the Valedictorian and did a wonderful job on her speech. We are so proud of her! She is just as beautiful inside as she is outside.

Then we spent the weekend at Juice & Pa's. We had a wonderful time. Uncle Bruce, Uncle Curt & Aunt Shelley got to hang out with us all weekend too. Michael had such a fun time being surrounded and having all the attention he could ever want.
Juice got the swimming pool out early to let the water warm up a little bit. He liked throwing his toys in it, but really didn't like getting in it. Daddy tried to show him that it was cool to get in, but he really didn't believe him.

He really liked getting the water hose...even though that water was FREEZING! He would get himself so wet with that water.

Then one time, the water got out of control and really got him wet!
And he DID NOT like that!
So he had to throw a little fit....but he did it to himself!!!!

But it didn't last long....but poor Aunt Shelley got ganged up on...

Luckily, Michael is in love with Aunt Shelley and didn't squirt her!

Since everyone else had a coozie, Michael just had to have his own! He thought he was way cool!



He even enjoyed hanging out with Pa in the hammock.

Uncle Curt & Aunt Shelley...

Brothers....

The whole gang...

After an awesome weekend with my family, we made our way back home. Grandma & Granddaddy had just got back from their vacation to Port A and were ready to see the boy. Granddaddy had the pool ready to go! He loved it! I think he will continue to get more and more comfortable with it this summer. Hopefully, we can get a few lessons in too.




He finally relaxed in the lifejacket with daddy....

So here's to a fun summer....come join us in the pool!!!

update on the boy...

Someone, not naming any names, reminded me that I'm a little behind on putting an update on here......hummm, I wonder who that could be?!?!


This boy is LOVING the warmer weather that we've been having. He squeals when someone even mentions the word outside. He loves to water the flowers, getting wet, sliding, digging in the dirt, mowing granddaddy's yard, and anything else 'sigh'.




He still has 12 teeth, but I'm pretty sure that more are coming judging by his attitude, runny nose, and other yucky stinking things. Hopefully, they will hurry up because we have some fun times ahead of us! SUMMER is here! We are so excited that I'm almost done with school and get to hang out with the boy!

soaking wet

Today was a nice boo-ful day outside. After I picked up Michael, we just had to spend the afternoon outside. His John Deere truck had a little water in it from the sprinkler, so I filled it up a little more while I was watering my flowers. He thought that was the most fun thing ever!!!!

Then he figured out that he could put his face in the water...

and get soaking wet....

and LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

mother's day

Sorry to be a little late with this, but nevertheless...here's pictures from Mother's Day.

On Saturday, we cooked fajitas (ok, Derek cooked) for Grandma's Mother's Day. He had his first golf lesson with daddy and loved on Grandma.


We had a wonderful, special Mother's Day. We went to Lubbock to witness and celebrate the baptism of my cousin's (almost) one year old daughter, Abi. It was so precious. She's precious and her family is precious. After church, we all went to eat at their house. Michael was so good and had tons of fun playing. He was such a ham. He has started this thing of cheesing it up when you take his picture. He's also started laughing whenever he hears someone else laugh. So, he was center of attention and was loving it!!

Being at Paisleigh and Abi's house, Michael learned to play with girly toys. He didn't mind! :)

Happy Mother's Day to the best mom in the world!!

OMG! I heart this boy!!!


And I heart this boy's daddy! Thanks for making me a mom to the most beautiful boy ever!

airplanes!!

Last Saturday, we got to hang out with Uncle Guger and Jason at the airport. At first, Michael was a little scared, but then he loved all the airplanes. He even got to drive the gator (aka golf cart) down to the runway and back to the hanger.


Watching Uncle Guger take off...

And there goes Jason....

Do you see Jason flying in the sky???

Thank goodness Juice brought snacks and let a boy borrow her jacket!!
