Summer 2011

We have been really busy this summer.  We’ve had trips, girl’s camp, scout camp, birthdays, more trips.  It’s been really nice to be home.  We still have lots going on, but it seems less chaotic when we aren’t trying to go places too.  I’m probably going to do a few posts, but I don’t know how the order is going to go so this could be the last thing you are reading.   Tom had a continuing education course in Chicago, in June.  Instead of staying and cooking here in Carlsbad in the 105+ degree weather we headed home for the week, (FYI in June 26 days were over 100- we were literally burning up down here, especially considering all the wild fires, it’s still really hot)  I did everything I could think of.  We went to the zoo, wheeler farm, the dinosaur museum, shopping, I know we did more, but my mind is blank right now.  I ran the boys ragged. We got home and all got colds and basically lived inside for a week.  Then we went to Sea World, San Antonio with my cousin and his cute family. It was so much fun.  If you ask Liam about it he’ll tell you about feeding the dolphins, looking at the sharks, and especially about the swimming penguins. No pictures, we brought the camera, but it didn’t make it out of the suitcase.  I also managed to lose my wedding ring on that trip- still kind of makes my stomach turn.   The first part of summer was a blast. The trip home was a great way to start the summer.

Uncle Jared made a fire in the backyard so that he and Liam could roast marshmallows. Liam really like the roasting stick, and the mallows, he didn’t really care whether or not there was a fire.

The zoo, Liam loved looking for dinosaurs, Ethan didn’t mind the stroller, but wasn’t to interested in anything. I’m so glad my cousins came and brought friends for Liam.

Because of how dry it has been I’ve been trying to be conservative with water.  So I have been filling up our watering can and making puddles, the boys love them.  Liam loves making “feet prints”

If it isn’t obvious in these pictures wait for the next ones…my boys LOVE to be outside!
