Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible school at Grand Lakes Presbyterian Church was a blast last week. I volunteered in the Preschool room and wow...I was exhausted! It was a lot of fun for the kids so here is a few pictures of the excitement.

Jayson and Justin soaking wet from water games outside!

The stage and band jamming some of the super hero songs. The music and decorations were fantastic! We still play the songs everyday at home.

The twins with Ryan. He would go find them

in the crowd so he could sit by them and sing. Ryan cuteness. That dimple is going to get him in trouble...

Mrs. Fia! The Preschool teacher. She was great with the kids and such a sweetheart to work with.

Soaking wet kids singing

Jayson just sang on the microphone and he is very excited

Chillin Ryan

another picture mom??? CHEESE

Justin was always standing up front to sing with the leaders. He got to sing in the microphone several times too. Jayson was more shy about going up front.

They wanted their hair spiked even though they really needed a haircut...Oh well.

Love this one. They had such a good time! Bye VBS...until next week when they go to JoJo's church and do it again. They are having a Rainforest theme in Waco. Sounds fun!

Here is a cute/messy Ryan photo of him eating smores for the first time. He LOVED it!

What? Is there something on my face?

We went straight to the tub after that! The twins are in Waco now and Ryan sure does miss his bubbas. He cried like crazy went they drove off in my mom's car and kept saying "Bubbas" over and over. Then at home he pointed to their pictures and had a rough night of crying and not sleeping. By the time he gets used to them being gone, they will be back! I love how much he loves them. We call them everyday and he gets to say hi to them and his sweet face just lights up when he hears their voice. When they return Friday he will be sooooooo excited. Then we have their birthday party on Saturday. I can't believe my boys will be 6!!! Where have the years gone? More to come with party pics.

Summer Fun!

Trains, pools, and birthdays OH MY!!! Summer is off to a busy start but so much fun already! Here is what we have been up to. Ryan has become somewhat obsessed with his big brothers train set. So much so that we don't even put it away at night when we clean up. We just push it to the side. He plays for hours!!! Then when I put him to bed, the first thing he says when he wakes up...Train! So this is what Ryan looks like most days...well he usually has clothes on but he has just finished some messy watermelon in the below pictures.

Then of course we are hanging by the pool a lot. We pack snacks and make a fun time of it. Jayson and Justin are little fish this summer! They can do it all...diving boards, slides, and jumping in all by themselves and swimming back to the side. It's AWESOME!

Here are my cuties taking a snack break.

Catching some rays...

Ryan finishes his snack just before it's time to go back in

Justin jumps in by himself too!

I love these guys...

Uncle J and Lauren came for a visit this weekend

and they made me this...YUMMY!!!

My 31st birthday was the best! Everyone was so sweet and made me feel so special. Here is me eating my fabulous cake made by Melody.

THE CAKE! It was 6 layers of fruity goodness. Strawberry, Orange, Lemon, Kiwi, Blueberry and Grape. The whip cream topped it off perfectly! Delightful!

The Baker Ms. Melody Martin

After work we met up at Chuy's of course for a birthday rita or two and the creamy jalapeno! I also have become very fond of the grilled fish and shrimp tacos. (trying to contain my drool now)

Here is PaPa and the boys

Here are my roses from Sheila! Perfect day!

Now it's 2 weeks straight of vacation Bible school. Busy times ahead! Can't wait! I love summer...

Nice LONG weekend...

We had a nice, relaxing LONG Memorial Day weekend. I took Friday off as well so it was a 4 day weekend and so much fun! Here are a few pictures from the spray park we visited. The boys loved it so we will go back a lot this summer.

Hey, where is all this water coming from???

Super soaker!

The twins have a war with the spray guns

CHEESE!!!!

Where's Ryan???

This orange shirt kid keeps getting in all my pictures...

No bath needed tonight...YESSSSSS!

Besides the spray park, we went to Kingwood and hung out in Aunt Lisa's new pool for 3 hours. The twins became expert swimmers and even jumped off the diving board and swam to the side all by themselves over and over. Those swim lessons sure paid off!!! After Kingwood I went to Tomball to see Vicki and Cindy Haynes and then to visit Michelle who had her fourth baby. Little Cole is only 2 weeks old and such a cutie pie. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing at the house and playing games with my favorite kids! Ryan talks so much now. His vocabulary increases everyday. It's so cute to hear him say things for the first time. He is becoming such a big boy now. This weekend Scott and I enjoyed a date day to Chuy's for drinks and excellent food without the boys. It was so nice to spend time together. My birthday is creeping up next week so we may be back to Chuy's very soon! Also coming up this month is Vacation Bible School and the twin's 6th birthday party. Stay tuned...
