May 2015 Fun

If we are out in the yard when Jimmy gets home the kids run down the driveway to get in the Jeep with him and "help" him drive. Camden is steering here and Jackson is helping.

The weather has been awesome which means lots of walks at the greenway

Playing at Mason's house

Everyone loves King of Pops popsicles at the farmers market

I love this. Jackson and his best bud Curious George. He loves that stuffed animal a whole lot!

Cazadores. Yum! Good times with good friends!

 I guess they wanted to be "in" the kitchen

 Riding the train at the mall with Mason

 Jackson did awesome at his dentist appointment! No cavities and everything looks great :)

ISR Swim Lessons 2015

We signed the boys up for ISR swim lessons again this year. Actually it was Camden's first time. Jackson did great and she quickly started working on strokes with him teaching him freestyle and even starting to work on backstroke. Camden had a rough start. He wasn't super happy about the lessons and would just scream the whole time. It's amazing he didn't swallow a ton of water because every time she put him under water his mouth was open but she said he must have closed it off inside from swallowing water. Jackson only went for 2 weeks and Camden for 5 weeks. Every single day for 10 minutes! It was exhausting but once it was our routine it went smoothly!

By about the end of the 2nd week or so Camden started getting a lot better with Brandi. He would gladly walk up to her and was ready to get right in the water.

Grumps!

Jackson was pretending to hide from Ms Brandi

I have some great videos to post here one day when I can get them together!

Memorial Day 2015

We headed out to the lake early for Memorial Day weekend to have time to visit with Barry, Rae, Jeff and Kim who were all in town visiting in between weddings they had to attend in Atlanta. It was great getting to spend time with all of them! I think the last time we saw them was at Jeff and Kim's wedding last July!

On a side note...we have raised the boys to address people with a Mr or Ms in front of their name. However The Steins are like family so I can't have them address them with a Mr or Ms (it just doesn't feel right!) but then do we use Aunt or Uncle? I grew up calling them Barry and Rae so that's what comes natural to me.

Anyways, we had so much fun and the boys had lots of fun playing with Rae. She sang songs and did the little piggies to both of them. They gave Jackson Candy Land and a wonderful puzzle set for his birthday so they also did lots of puzzles and played many games of Candy Land.

Jackson and Jeff had fun spraying each other

No more pictures mommy!

Trying to get pictures of them when all 3 were smiling much less just looking at the camera proved to be a challenge. I loved catching them having fun with Rae :)

Watching for boats, maybe?

This little piggie...

Loving their corn on the cob as usual!

Jimmy arrived Friday morning and then they left shortly after. We decided to take a boat ride in the afternoon

Everyone wants to drive the boat

Breakfast al fresco

Jimmy and I headed out during nap time to boat over to our friends house

mmmm... watermelon

Camden loves the water slide! He literally giggles the whole way down! And obviously has the biggest grin on his sweet face!

As soon as he gets to the bottom he signs "more" to go again. I think we must have gone at least 50 times this day!

Jackson is a pro and loves going by himself. He will swim over to the step by himself when he gets to the bottom.

Tried to get a picture of me with my boys

Crazy guy moves all around on the water slide. I remember doing the same thing at white water when I was a kid. They would tell us you have to stay on your bottom and as soon as you pass the first curve we'd flip around and go backwards and on our tummy. Ha!

My parents neighbors put up a zip line at their house we helped test it out. Jackson loved it and Camden tried it out with us holding him. Jimmy and I even did it. Super fun! Now I want to add one to our yard.

Camden couldn't quite reach the handles so we had to help hold him on
