Fairy Birthday to Rayna

My sweet little girl had her Birthday party this weekend and she chose a Tinkerbell theme.  We had it in the backyard and thankfully the weather cooperated! 

That's my super hero six year old!

Wordless Wednesday - The Beach!

Friday Funnies - Lucius makes a Joke

Skyler: "Daddy's Bus!"
Rayna: "Daddy's BUTT!"
(uproarious laughter from all four monkeys)
Daddy: "Ok, no more potty talk"
Lucius (sweet voice): "Dadaaa"
Daddy: "Yes Lucius"
Lucius: "BUTT, HA HA"
(LMAO)

Love that he is trying to make jokes and he isn't even 2 yet, such a cutie patootie!
Here he is with the face paint he sat patiently for at the Meteor Shower Camping night we attempted to do last night.

Ms Mudpit and the Beach Part 2

Serenity cracks me up!  She dug an enormous pit, put water in it and called it her mud bath.  This is what she looked like after.

Ahhh the touch and taste of sand at the beach!!!  Have a sunny sand filled day!

The Beach Part 1

We love White Pine Beach.  It is THE beach for our family.  We've made several trips there this summer so far.  Here are the pics to prove it:

Do you love the beach?

Cinema Under the Stars (and world record)

In our community there was a free outdoor movie night so we partook in the festivities.

It was crowded but we had a blast.  Free popcorn, free balloons, free bag and free movie.  Also, free bug bites but we can live with a few of those!

We saw the Lorax and Skyler didn't like the "mushtash"!  Very funny!

I cannot believe they all stayed awake for the entire thing.  Especially after we'd had such a long day at the beach.

PS - Friday Funnies:
Skyler whining for 10 minutes....
Rayna, "I think she's going for a WORLD RECORD!"

Summer is Half Over

Where did the time go?  It went to:
1. the beach
2. leveling the yard
3. geocaching
4. swimming lessons
5. playgrounds
6. movies, etcetera

After 20 yards of dirt (10 truck loads full), the yard is now level and the trampoline and pool are out!  Yup, just took half the summer to get there (and now its raining) LOL Here's the new trampoline:

Skyler was too afraid to jump.  Maniacs in the pool.

We quickly discovered that Lucius wasn't quite ready for the deep pool (he sat down and went under!) so we had to get the kiddie pool out for him.

All day long the girls kept saying, "This is the best day EVER!" Love it!  What is your idea of the best day ever?
