Well the summer is almost over and I am very excited. Of course it isn't a mutual feeling.

But then you can't please everyone all of the time right. So everyone should just try and please mom all of the time. I have suggested it but this is the reaction that I get.

I do feel bad Craig has been gone so much this summer that we haven't taken the kids anywhere really fun. We never did make it back to Florida to use our annual passes to the water parks before they expired again. But at least we got our moneys worth out of them last summer.

We have still had a lot of fun this summer the weather has been nice and cool most of the summer so we have spent a lot of days at the park. It's been to cold around here to use the pool much but it's always nicer at the park when things are cooler. And we are very glad to have Craig back at home for a little bit. We have missed him a lot. Hope that everyone is enjoying the end of their summer. That you will have a great weekend and have the chance to spend some time with those that are most important in your life.

Another old but good picture. We are excited cause daddy is coming home tomorrow it has been almost three weeks this time and we have missed him terribly. But tomorrow he will be home. He has another show but this one is in Salt Lake so we will be able to see him in the evenings. The weather is turning warmer also so hopefully we will all be able to enjoy the pool before it has to be taken down. So much for global warming it has been cold more then hot around here this summer. Maybe next summer it will snow;) Have a good one everyone.

Just wanted to send a quick post to daddy. We haven't been able to in awhile because of phone and internet problems. Thought you might like this picture its from awhile ago when you were out of town again:) and me and the boys and Zach's friend Dakota flew to California for just a quick disney fix. Lots of fun. Love and miss you see you soon.

We spent the afternoon at grandmas. Grandpa is in Boston for work but we still had fun.   I snapped these pictures of the boys playing in the basement portion of grandmas addition.

We miss you daddy and hope that you are enjoying yourself on your business trip.

He finally lost it.



This tooth has been loose forever in fact yesterday he was twisting it completely around. It was barely hanging in. I figured that he would swallow it while eating and have tried to convince him to just pull it out but he wouldn't. But this morning right after he woke up it finally let go and fell out.



It's very windy out so we haven't gotten in the pool today the boys are very dissapointed. The cover did get blown off and they had to help me put it back on so Jacob has been dressed today. You would never guess it from the picture. As soon as we are back in the house the clothes come off quicker then I can tell him to leave them on. I let them sleep on the couches in the living room while Craig is out of town makes a mess of the living room but allows me to get a good nights sleep. The alternative is both of them in my room and I usually end up on the floor.



I even got Zach to look up at me from his game for about two seconds. Just long enough to snap the picture. Time is more and more limited on the wii I am trying to get them used to the idea that once school starts they won't get to play at all during the week and then for only an hour a day on the weekends. Needless to say once school starts I won't be very popular for the first few days. Hmmm maybe that means I will get some me time, probably not. How old do kids have to be before they start giving you the silent treatment? :) Just a quick hi to daddy we still love and miss you let you know how we feel tomorrow. J/K.

We had a fun summer day today. Spent the morning at Grandma and Grandpas then went to the park with them for a picnic. Paige was spending her week with them so we got to have lunch with her also. After the park we came home and got in the pool. It was warm outside but the temp on the pool had dropped doww to 82 degrees. The boys thought that it was freezing and it took a lot of convincing to get them completely in the pool.

Even when they first got in it was only on the lobster. They were trying to keep from getting as much of themselves in for as long as possible.

But they couldn't hold still enough to keep both of them on the lobster for long.

They did both eventually get in the water. And Jacob discovered that Zach makes a better horse then the lobster.

We had a nice relaxing afternoon thanks for the picnic grandma. We still miss and love you daddy!

Daddy this picture is for you from the boys. They wanted you to see them playing the wii. I didn't want a picture from the back so they settled for standing in front of your tv to pose. They miss and love you. They are getting along right now but that is also a constant battle. We hope that you are having a good trip staying safe and we love you.

Not much is going on here just enjoying the kids summer break. Lots of time in the pool and probably way to much time on the wii. We have had to start enforcing a stricter limit of time.  Jacob absolutely loves these aqua globes that they advertise on tv someone we knew was getting ready to move and getting rid of everything.  This is what he wanted from the garage sale not really for the plant mostly for the globes.  He asked to put a picture of it on the blog. Right now the plant is in his room but will have to be moved out in the living room within a day or two to make sure that it gets more light. Originally I thought that he just wanted the plant for the aqua globes that are in it (he loves aqua globes). But I think he really likes the plant to he also wanted it next to the mice cage to give the mice some shade. Kids are kind of funny. The plant is pretty cool though. Craig is back out of town this week he will actually be gone for three full weeks this time in Vegas. He left yesterday and we already miss him. We love you daddy.
