Second Day In A Row (aka - at least he made it through dinner tonight)

I think now that our summer vacation has started it is taking it out of little Evan. This is him "watching" Star Wars the Clone Wars on TV after dinner.



I hear thunder in the distance, maybe we will get a little much needed rain!!

OK I admit dinner wasn't that great but....

I don't think it was so bad that people would fall asleep during it.

Pool Party!!

Our friend Kimberlee had a birthday party at her neighborhood pool and the boys had a blast!! We haven't been to the pool in a week since VBS was last week and we didn't want to push it with Ian's tonsils.

Evan is becoming quite the little fish. I guess more of those swimming lessons sunk in than we thought!


Two at a time!!


With Dad!!

Last Day of VBS and a Trip to CEC

Today is the last day of Vacation Bible School (aka = I don't have to wash these shirts again this week!!).
Afterward I promised the boys if they were good we could go and play at Chuck E Cheese's!! Which they loved! We actually met quite a few people there that we knew and it was a big hit! If the temps stay up in the 100s like they have been I foresee lots of trips there!!
Ian playing the big video game!
Evan loves showing me how many tickets he wins!

I am not actually 53 like the candles on the cake seem to suggest.

My good friend Elise took me and the boys out for dessert at Chili's on my birthday and we shared a calorie packed White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake!! It was so funny!!

Thanks Elise -- you totally made my day!! :)

Watch out Vanilla Ice!!

OK so he gets his dancing ability from me. I admit it!!! But I have to say I have never brakedanced!! Wish I would have pulled the camera out earlier because he was really grooving!!

Tonsils no more!!

Today Ian got his tonsils removed! It was pretty quick and he has bounced back quickly!! Couple of quick pictures from in the hospital. I tried really hard to get a picture of his huge tonsils but couldn't!

Birthday Party Krispy Kreme Style

OK since December of last year when we made our first trip with the boys to a Krispy Kreme store Ian has wanted to have his birthday party at Krispy Kreme donuts!!

It was a lot of fun, they took care of everything!! The kids all had a tour of the facility, that got to decorate their own donut (and eat it), they had a face painter, and a HUGE cake made out of donuts!!

Here are some highlights!!





And after getting home the boys (all three of them) had to break out Ian's new water guns and cool off since it was so hot outside!!
