Summer Days

The summer so far has been fun and active. The kids don't seem to sleep in and are always looking for something to do. We get our jobs done in the morning and try to keep busy till rest time in the afternoon.

We went to the zoo and tried an elephant ear. We had them tricked it was a real ear cut off an elephant..

Ice cream with their own money! Come two times a day through the neighborhood.

Corn on the cob helpers. One of Luke's favorites. 

I had to buy him corn handle bars for his corn.

Fun on the tramp with chalk and sprinklers.

Crystal Mountain Resort 2016

We had a another great time this year at Crystal Mt. Something we look forward to each year. We had such nice weather. Everyone loved swimming and the golf cart rides. Luke had a little sickness at the end of the trip with some diaherra and cramps but he ended up being ok when we got home.

Luke's Tubes Come Out!

Luke had his ear tubes taken out in the middle of May. He was such a brave boy. Not a big procedure at all but he was not scared. We got him new Paw Patrol pjs to wear and that made his day. He told me that Dr.'s took him back to the room, and "they put a mask on me and it smelled like skittles, then I took a little nap and that was it"! He told me that they room was dizzy when he first woke up. The Dr. gave him his tube in a container and he wanted to show everyone those for the next couple of days.

Maci's Missing Teeth

Maci was so excited that she had two wiggly teeth. She went to bed and she woke up the next morning and her tooth was out! But we could not find it anywhere in her bed! It really was a missing tooth! So funny. The tooth fairy still came. The second tooth came out at Crystal Mt while in the car and we could not find that one either. We tricked the tooth fairy at Crystal Mt and put a tic tac under her pillow for that one.
