Summer!!!

So happy that it feels like summer around here! The boys have been in the backyard, for no lie, at least 2 hours WITHOUT a screaming fight/tantrum...which is amazing around here. Here they are w/ their jeep...loaded down w/ a sack of marbles, fishing poles, water bottles for hydration, sunglasses and whatever else they can shove in the back. I can just imagine them 12 or so years from now rolling out together in a real car...waaaahhhhh!!!!

New Boat!

We decided to get a pontoon this year since we live so close to the water and were tired of seeing everyone else have fun out there. They finally put the boat in the water at our dock last night, so we took a very impromptu trip out there so Jerome could work on the radio. The pontoon is a "bit" older so it had a tape deck radio and that just was not going to do for Jerome. So anyway, the boys were beyond excited and, yes, they look a bit redneck w/ their pj's and non-matching sweatshirts. I even had to take a little video of Eli breaking it down while Jerome was testing out the stereo...

Goldfish...

Okay, i am really behind on posts...so there might be a couple today.

This is how this went down...Eli really wanted goldfish, I said no because it was almost dinner time. After a brief struggle and and while I was wrestling the box out of his hands...this is what happened. Notice the goldfish in the blonde 'fro too...

Birthday Party

We had a great time at our friend Taylor's 5th birthday today. It was a place called Monkey Joe's, which is a huge bounce house place. Here are a couple pics that my friend Carrie took to the boys. She has a fancy camera that takes great pics, so I had to share. I love the picture of Eli going down the slide!
