Boys + Water = FUN!

We have become the Kool-Aid house after school, and I love it. However all the boys want to have water fights in their school clothes (I don't know if the parents are as laid back as I am). So Saturday after soccer I let them the boys come over and have a water fight. It was so much fun, we are going to do it again! They got bored and made the slide in the back yard into the ultimate water slide & slip'n slide. Thank goodness no one got hurt!

Back to School!

I love this gang! (I have my own team!)

Yep, they are always like this!

Jaxon and His BFF

Nothing says back to school like smelly boys going to soccer! This weekend was our first soccer game, there is nothing like hitting the ground with your feet running! It's offical "Just call me soccer mom." (I really need one of those "cool" bumper stickers for the back of my minivan!) I had the lovely pleasure of being late to Josh's twice. Thank goodness I drove into Deborah and she help me find the school. (Never call me for directions I am always lost and late!) All the boys are loving this Soccer season, we have great coaches! And everybody scored goals! Yea! (Jarom tried to sneak onto the field again-He can't play tell next year, but he is so darn cute!)

Lagoon (it's a love hate thing!)

I have been stuck in a stupor of blog! I think I have hit a all time boring in my life! I guess laundry and remolding aren't great hobbies......Yes for those of you who have known me for a long time, it is had to believe that it is possible for my life to get any more boring than normal but it is true!

OK .... for those of you with children in the neighborhood school. If your kids walk or take the bus-how often to you go to your child's school. It seems very easy to just NOT get involved. I am not signed up to go to the school until the Halloween Party (very different than the last school). I was thinking about volunteering with reading once they split into groups. I am just wondering if this is it? Or....... am I missing out on great reasons to drop by the school.

And Lagoon! My kids love it and I think it is way to hot! Any ideas on how to have more fun in kiddy land? (Baby J loved BULGY the whale, just kill me now!)

Olympic party in the neighborhood. Lots of fun! I love Jarom's first race with a big wheel and arm floaties. (He came in last place, but he did get some points for style!)

The big kids, much more serious!

We have Olympic fever! The whole family has been cheering for Michael Phelps! What a stud! I don't think we will be out of the basement for another week! I never understood how my husband can watch football on TV and cheer and yell. I now get it! It's really fun. In four more years I think I will watch lots of sports on TV again.

Boat Surfing

I finally went water skiing after at least five years for not even one little drag behind a boat. It is seriously a blast!!! I think I am coming down with boating fever! Some friends of ours have a very nice boat that creates a wake you can surf on behind the boat. I had so much fun trying to surf with trying being the correct word. Some of my favorite memories growing up are from "the lake". Great times with my family, friends, and the Scott's. I do hope in a few year we finish our house and take our own kids out on the lake! Right now we are so grateful to have friends that share, thanks!

P.S. I am back on weight watcher so consider this a before picture! I am going to go work out right now!

The Same Car!

I finally did it! I know many of you are relieved! I bought a newer car! We have been looking for about two years. I found a great deal, and the air went out in the old van. I new the time had come, after swim lesson I took all my kid and went and bought a car. Since I got such a great deal, I think Steve is getting happier about it. I started laughing so hard when Steve looked at the car and said, "You just bought the same car we have". I really did! I loved my car! It's like sweat pants- comfortable and cheep! I do have to admit it feel great not driving a beater! I did order a new turtle sticker, I guess I want to make sure it is my same car!
