Sprinkler + Kids = FUN!!!!

So Phil and I decided to replicate a fun summer toy we saw on a blog I visit a lot. It basically called for a few PVC pipes and assorted elbows and t-joints, some PVC cement, and well placed holes and voila! An awesome homemade "car wash" sprinkler! Since it was 104 today, we decided it would be a great time to test it out! I texted my neighbors and the fun ensued! Check out these super cute pictures! (First 4 were taken by my neighbor, Kiki)

Summer Craziness!

Well, we just finished up our week at VBS! What a great time we all had! Makayla absolutely LOVES VBS and I hope that stays with her for a long time. Jackson is still a little young, but getting out of the house and going to a room with lots of new toys is still lots of fun to a 16 mon. old!! 


Just a couple of new developments for you all...
Makayla lost both of her top front teeth and she already had the two teeth next to her bottom teeth gone for a while now, so she has a super cute smile! Our perfect little jack-o-lantern! She also just started a Gymnastics class and is loving that as well! She came home and promptly showed off her new skills of doing a cartwheel and doing a bridge! Yeah! 


Jackson is doing well and growing so big! I finally caved this past week and took him for his first big boy haircut!! He had the most beautiful curls, but his hair was just getting crazy out of control and now he looks like a little boy instead of a baby. Sniff... He also has 12 teeth!! Seriously, he looks so much older than he is with that mouth full of teeth! And boy does he have the appetite to go with them too!! He must be going through a growth spurt because he is constantly hungry! It doesn't matter if we have just fed him lunch or dinner, if he sees one of us with food, he comes right over and starts whining for some!! Lol! I foresee his teenage years of eating us out of house and home! 


I also started working again! Yeah! I work at my church in the Nursery! I LOVE it! It is a flexible schedule that is wonderful and I can take the kids with me whenever I want! We also just purchased our first car, a mini-van for me! A Honda Odysessy that I just LOVE!!! It has so much room and the kids love it as well!! 


Other than that, I am just busy keeping the kids entertained for the summer! I hope you all are doing well! Talk to you soon!
