Summer Splashes

with lots of friends!

Way Back When-esday

back in 2007 when Jake was 2! My sweet little guy :)

Fishing Fools

A Day in the Life of a Super Dad

A Super Dads morning starts bright and early before his family awakes and it starts with.....

Laundry followed by:

Fishing

Teaching Sunday School

Taking his family out to lunch

Cleaning the house for his parents

Towing a car

Ripping a toilet and bathroom floor out

Baseball with his sons and pushing his daughter on the swing

and

Another fishing trip just because the kiddos asked

and the day's not even over :)

I'm sure Glad that Super Dad is my Husband.

Happy Father's Day!

Go Brett! Go Jordan!

A night filled with baseball and friends. The Merrimans and neighbor Pat came to cheer on Brett and Jordan. And notice they are both #5. Both Jordan and Brett hit a triple and a single! They are such great friends that when Brett hit the ball Jordan cheered him on instead of fielding the ball. Then off for ice cream. So much fun!

Mr. Freeze

Brett has a love for freezing various object placed in a cup and filled with water. Just yesterday I was lucky enough to open the freezer and find a frozen Barbie and Superman.

Our Day Full of Band-Aids

One hurt elbow

Two bloody toes

and one busted lip

Lots of tears, band-aids and hugs all in a couple hours

"Don't Look!"

says Brett, trying to protect his brother and sister from a preview on their movie. As you can see the suspense got to Jake and Brylee....well she listened well.

For the love of Eliana

When your best friend in the whole world attempts riding with no training wheels....seen here. You must of course try it. After the approval of the big boys that it is cool to ride a pink bike because yours is still too big, you jump on because there is a beautiful brown eyed girl to impress. He tryed, oh he tryed.....but it sure is a lot harder than it looks! But look how much fun it was :)

What????

I must make a note to forever remember the day Brylee went up and cleaned her room all by herself and actually did a great job. I will now hire her to give lessons to her brothers. Brylee is a RockStar. As I type she is in the kitchen washing dishes off.

Is this really my daugher?

Jake's MiMi

"Hey Mom....Do you know what MiMi's last name is?" "Tell me Jake." "MY BEST FRIEND!"

This morning he also told me he wants MiMi to live right behind us in our backyard :)

Me too Jake!

Out of the Mouth of Sweet Jake

Brett was helping me make dinner tonight by mashing the potatoes with the electric mixer. As soon as Jake caught wind of what was going on he came running in the kitchen screaming "I want to electrocute the pototoes!"

We had yummy electrocuted tators.

Summer Bowling Fun!

Jake and his Girls

These 3 have been friends since they were teeny tiny. He loves both his "girls!"

Way Back When-esday

Can you believe that is Brett?? It was taken the summer of 2002. It seems like just yesterday!

Seriously, how cute are they?

I love my kids!

Jake and his Dad

I loved popping my memory card in the computer and finding a picture of a couple of my favorite guys. Not sure what the play dough figure is but they sure are cute. Oh of course! Jake said it's a Transformer :) I totally see a Transformer now!

A Guessing Game?

Which eyes belong to which lovely child of mine?

I think I can remember.

Oh the Talent we saw at the Talent Show.....

the most talented kid in school

and now for his card trick!

The first game of the season....

Wow they have a cool big brother!
Brett had an awesome first game. He was up to bat once... hit a single, and had a great play at third base (or whatever you call it)
It is so much fun this year. He is playing with all his friends from school and has an awesome coach.
Go Tigers!!!!
