WATER GUN WARS!

June 26, 2015

Mikell sent me this pic while I was at work, with the caption that read: HE'S WAITING FOR YOU!
I knew I was in big trouble! Boston saved his money to buy 2 Water Guns so we could have a WATER WAR!

When I got home from work I threw on some shorts and a T-shirt and prepared for the BATTLE! We loaded up our WATER GUNS and took to the field. Boston was ruthless but so was I, and we both got DRENCHED! We had a great time! Our neighbor Cyndi came over and she was not immune from our weapons! We got her good! Then Daddy joined us when he got home from work. I love how Boston is keeping me young! We have so much FUN together!
                                     Boston trying to intimidate me before we got started!
                                                       He's got me scared now!
                                     We got drenched! But boy, oh boy, we had a good time!
 
                          Look at the intensity on his face as he tries to slay me with his water!

                                  I put up a pretty good fight though! Boston started retreating.
 

                                                              Then we go after Cyndi!

                                                 Daddy better watch out cuz Boston is ruthless!
                                                              Zach's a pretty good aim!
Waylon's thinking, "Hmm if I could just get my hands on that water gun without someone getting me wet!"

S'MORE FUN!

June 25, 2015

For three days we have been planning on lighting a fire in the FIRE PIT so we could make some S'MORES (from Chad's wedding). Boston even called me at work inviting me to join him making S'MORES. I was really looking forward to it, but by the time it would start getting dark, the boys were exhausted from playing so hard in the sun all day. Well, tonight was finally the night and after Boston ran through the sprinklers, we went in the backyard and made S'MORES! They were so good! We put the graham cracker bottom, and a piece of chocolate on the side of the FIRE PIT so they could get hot and melt the chocolate, then we ROASTED THE MARSHMALLOW to perfection, and used a FUDGE STRIPED COOKIE for the top, so even more melted CHOCOLATE. Wow! Was it delish! The best S'MORE we have ever tasted! We had a great time and of course the boys were in heaven watching the FIRE and Boston wanted to keep throwing paper in it to get the big FLAMES! What a fun night we had! I love my FAMILY!

I love this pic! Boston doesn't like to pose for photos. His face says it all in this one. But he was so happy to finally have his fire going!
                                                              Getting the fire going.
                                                               Boston loves this part!
                                     He was feelin' how much heat was comin' out of that pit
                        Mesmerized by the fire and waiting for the coals to be just right for cookin' S'MORES!


 I love this pic! Waylon just chillin' in his chair and waiting for the S'Mores
                                                           Mikell and her Way Way

                                        Me and my Buddy roastin' our MARSHMALLOWS

                                    I had so much fun tonight. I love these two so much!
                          I love this family more than ever! What a fun family they are!
                              And I love my little Waylon! He is a happy, happy boy!
                                   I couldn't skip puttin' this pic in, it just wouldn't be right!
                                      Zach shows Boston the right way to make a S'MORE
                                               Mmm...see that gooey marshmallow? Delish!
                                  Mikell thought this was the best S'More she has ever had!
                                             Best part of the night! Tasting the goodness!
                    Then he was on to roasting hot dogs.Life's short, he ate dessert first!

                        I had so much fun with these guys. I love making these fun memories!

SPRINKLERS!

June 25, 2015

I love SUMMER NIGHTS! I love coming home from work to see what FUN Boston and Waylon are into. Zach was fixing my SPRINKLERS and what better way to COOL DOWN than to run through the SPRINKLERS! That's exactly what Boston did.

 I remember when I was little and I would get so excited at the thought of running through SPRINKLERS but then I hated the way the "sprinkle" of water felt on me. I much prefer swimming in a pool than running through SPRINKLERS! But what a JOY it was for me to watch Boston have fun running through them. I have a cute video of Waylon. He is like me. He wanted to join in the fun of running through, but as soon as the water got him, he would run back really fast. It was so funny to watch him!

Pure joy on this face!

                                                               This cracks me up!
                                                                   I love this photo!
  Hmm...Zach's scratches his head trying to figure this sprinkler coverage business out.
Waylon really wanted to run through but would chicken out at the first touch of water!

Boston got excited to ride his bike through the sprinklers too!

CHAD'S WEDDING

June 21, 2015

Chad and Casha GOT MARRIED!  My Dad got special permission from my boss, Curtis Koch, the Clerk Auditor, to be a CLERK DESIGNEE for a day. He MARRIED them and we couldn't be happier for them. We had a nice dinner and it was just perfect.

Mikell had to work so Zach and I brought the boys. I had a blast with the Grandkids, and Reece. We sat in a corner and they didn't play your typical Wedding Music. They played great music! And our kids LOVE TO DANCE! And they danced their little hearts out. It was a riot watching them! I got so many little videos. Seriously, I need to learn to post them. They are fun! Boston started Break Dancing and little Remi and Waylon have some rhythm! Reece really feels the music and does the best twirls! I only got videos and no pics! Sorry you won't get to see them. It was nice to visit with everyone too. What a fun time we had! So super happy for the DUGGAR'S!
