Summer is Back

Yesterday the kids had a blast at the spray park. Michelle and I decided we were going to take all the kids to the Allen spray park because Brooklyn had a party there and its a cool facility, better than the ones in Frisco but we got to the park and its closed. We found out that the park is closed every Wednesday for cleaning. Who would have thought of that. So we turned around and went to another spray park in Frisco. It was nice because there weren't very many kids around and we ate lunch there as well. It was very hard to get the kids to leave the place because they were having so much fun. Last week it was rainy and even cool but this week the heat is back with a vengence. I didn't have my regular camera with me so these pictures were taken with my iphone.

Playing with MeMe and PawPaw

The kids loving playing with MeMe and PawPawPaw and their grandma and grandpa. It's interesting to see them interact because it seems like they do different things with each of them. For instance, at grandma and grandpa they love to play driving the car and playing baby with grandma. It's quite funny to see but as soon as they walk in the door they immediately go to grandma and ask her to play and they do. When they are with MeMe and PawPaw its completely different. They each have their own routine. This past Saturday Meme and PawPaw came over for dinner and the kids had a ball. If the kids had their way then they would have played way into the night if we would let them. I was able to capture some pictures of them playing.

Madison and Balloons

Grandma and Grandpa had balloons for the festivities and as you all know our kids love balloons so we took them home. It's always a fight on who gets them first but yesterday Madison was playing with the balloons and got so tangled that she was dragging them around the house. Mommy had to get her undone but before I did I took took pictures of her being stuck.

The True July 4th

For some reason everybody wanted to do fireworks on the 3rd this year and not on Sunday July 4th. We went to celebrate the 4th with grandma and grandpa and everyone had a blast. Grandpa got up at 4 am to start cooking the brisket and we had all the fixings for the meal. As always the kids ate great and enjoyed their dessert. Even Nei Nei was at home during this holiday. Most July 4th's she has been in the hospital but it was nice to have her home so the kids can visit with her as well.

A Fun and Wet July 4th

This year for July 4th, well July 3rd to be exact, we decided to join Campbell's family and go to Kaboom Town in the Addison area for all the festivities. During the day, the reain held off and I was hoping that it wouldn't rain until after the event, but unfortunately it rained for about 3 hours. Yes, we did decide to stay because Brooklyn was really looking forward for the fireworks. Will, Campbell's Dad, got there earlier to get our seats close to the stage and a front row seat for the fireworks. The kids didn't care it was raining because regardless of the weather they had a blast. Some of the festivities were delayed or cancelled due to the rain be we still had fun. It wasn't till right before the fireworks the rain had ended and we could put down the umbrella. Earlier that day we went and bought a big umbrella for the family. We never think about buying one but we knew there could be a chance that we would use it that evening. By the time the fireworks started, Madison was ready to go and Logan wanted to leave as well, but Brooklyn just looked into the sky and was at awe through the whole 30 minutes. When they were finished, we were dreading the ride home because we thought it was going to take forever but we got lucky and the cops opened up another ramp to exit out and Scott knew exactly where to go so we got home in about 20 minutes and got the kids undressed, cleaned up and to bed by 11:30. We were exhausted.

Dave The Chicken Guy

You are probably wondering what in the world is this. I didn't know of this person until today. Michele told me about fun days on Thursdays at Willow Bend Mall. This was the first of 4 different events that will be held. He is Dave and dresses like a chicken and dances all around and the kids loved him. Needless to say the kids had a blast. They were given guitars to blow up and play with during the concert. Brooklyn was very determined to get on stage and by the end of the concert she was picked to go on stage and dance in front of everyone. There is no shyness with her and I was proud of her determination as well. Logan had fun and when no one was watching he got up and started dancing and playing his guitar like a rock star. I took some pictures with my iphone so enjoy.

Last Day of School for Logan

Today was Logan's last day of school for the summer. This past month went by so quickly. It was a different ending unlike the beginning of the month. At first, Logan was a little apprehensive about the whole situation but by the second session he loved going to school. You may ask him if he liked school and he would reply no but deep down he loved every minute of it. He loved coming home to show us his art work which he was so proud of and the days we didn't have school he would always ask when he was going back to school. It was very cute. I think now he will be ready to go back to school in the Fall and have no problems what so ever. That was our goal and I think we suceeded. Brooklyn has phonics tomorrow and that will be her last day at Apple Creek. She now leaves her mark and her brother will follow in her footsteps. Pretty Cool.
