Vacation Tent

We started our two week vacation on June 28th. We drove to Fairhope, Alabama and rented a house there for a week. Chuck and I have been going to Fairhope (the small town my mom grew up in) with my mom for about 10 years. This was only the third time we had stayed a whole week and we still enjoyed everyday!

Before we left Chuck and I had been to Ikea with some friends. Tyler had really enjoyed the tent they had on display. He would just climb in and out - in and out. So Chuck and I thought it would be a good idea to surprise the boys with a new toy when we got to our vacation house. That was the best $10.00 we have ever spent. The boys spent countless hours playing in that tent the week that we were there. When we arrived it was the first thing we got out of the van and the boys played in that tent the whole time we unpacked! I am SO thankful when we actually have a good idea as parents!!!!

Cocoa Puffs Beard!!

I am finally getting the chance to update my blog before we leave for our family vacation. We have had a few busy weeks but I didn't want to miss out on the chance to blog some of our summer memories.

We had a great time at VBS last week. On Friday when I told TJ that it was the last day he said, "mommy, I want a lot more days of bible school". I am SO thankful that he had a great time. Tyler had a great week as well. He got to do some things that he had never done before. His teachers had a craft for him each day and at the end of the week they gave me a scrapbook page that showed what he had done that week!!!

Although we had a great week both the boys came home with colds and needed a little "mommy and daddy time". So Sunday morning we stayed home from church and enjoyed some much needed family time. I bought some Cocoa Puffs (since they were on sale and I had a coupon - I hardly ever buy the boys sweetened cereal) because I knew all three of my boys (including Chuck) would LOVE them. I was right!!! Tyler looked so cute with his Cocoa Puffs beard I just had to take a picture of him and post it on my blog.

We have some friends from Mississippi that will be in town this week and then we will be gone for the next two weeks, so it may be a few more weeks before I can "blog" again.

Happy Father's Day !

We had a very low key day to celebrate our GREAT DAD!!! As you can see Chuck still had "diaper duty" even on Father's Day. We spent last week at my Aunt's house since Chuck is working close to her home for three weeks this summer. We had a great time but we were happy just hanging out at home for the weekend. This week I will be taking the boys to VBS at our church - we are SO excited. I think it will be a great week!

End of year parties!

Today TJ and Chuck both had end of year parties with Hawaiian themes. Tyler and I were able to attend TJ's party at his preschool. Tyler thought he was one of the "big kids" and really enjoyed him self.
