Updates and more...

OK, so it has now been just over a month with no new photos and info... bet some of you are chomping at the bit... NOT! Like any of you really care about anything other than the cute pics that get posted of the kids... LOL. No really, I know that is not the case. I do appreciate those who stop by and take the time to read the blog and keep up with the goings on in our lives.
Just wanted to take some time to post some updated photos, and drop a line or two about the happenings in our busy household.
Well, I guess first up would have to be our annual trip to see my folks and attend VBS at their church. The kids had a blast. We spent some time at the local splash pad, as well as attending VBS everyday, so we were pretty busy. The theme this year for VBS was Cactus Canyon... a cute western theme, where all the kids got to dress up like cowboys and cowgirls. My kids really got into it!
Next, I guess would be Independence day. We celebrated with both sides of our family, with a BBQ at the house, and ended the day watching the fireworks from our front yard. We almost missed them though as it was very cloudy and rainy in some parts of our normally clear skied city.
Not to long after the 4th, Mike and I celebrated 13 years of marriage. It's crazy to think we have been married that long... although admittedly some times it feels like a lot longer than that... ROFL. Really, Mike and I have had 13 years together and are incredibly blessed that the God has granted us that much time, and we can only hope and pray for may more years to come. (OK now everybody all together.... AWWWWWWWWWWW!)
Well, our most recent outing was at a local splash pad here in the valley. We had a blast, as usual. Anything that can cool you off in the desert is always a good thing. Although we did have one instance where Lex decided to throw a fit... it was really hard for me not to laugh especially when taking this photo: (For more photos of the splash pad check out my photo blog)
Over all things are well here. We are dealing with an infestation of ants in our house, but other than that things are well here. I am always on the look out for more photo opportunities with the kids, so hopefully there will be more to post soon. Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!

Update (caution there are lots of photos)

Wow, it has only been just over 10 days since I last blogged and yet it seems like so much has happened in such a short time. I guess the expression "time flies when you are having fun" would surely fit here.
Well we finally managed to get Tim a BIGGER bed. It was much needed, as he is getting so much bigger now (not to mention that he tosses and turns so much he was practically falling out of the toddler bed most nights). So he loves having a bigger bed, and is now looking forward to having his good friend Jacob over to stay the night.
It's amazing to think of what a dollar will get you these days... a burger, a big gulp, a candy bar... a great after noon of fun at the park. I found this inflatable flying disk at our local 99 cent store... who knew the kids would go gaga over it! We took them to the park, and it was a huge hit. And not just with our kids, but several others at the park too. One little boy was so upset that he had to leave before he was done playing with it. They all had a blast, and amazingly the disk has help up quite well, and I think we will be taking it on another trip to the park very soon.
Alexa has taking in recent days to pretending to be a butterfly. I love the way she "flutters" around the house with the cute little wings on. She has such a great imagination. It always amazes me the things these two can come up with.
Memorial Day was lots of fun here. Since Mike was home we took advantage of the time, and did something fun. We took the the kids to play mini golf for the first time. (Sorry the pics are a little fuzzy, they were taken on my camera phone :P) The kids had a great time. We are wondering if golf may be in Tim's future as he managed to get the ball in the hole with only 3-4 hits on most of the courses. Not to shabby for his first time. Lex did pretty good too. We thought it was great when she would get the ball in and turn to us and say "Ha I beat you!" even when she was the last one to get her ball in.
Ok last but not least, now that the weather has warmed up we took advantage of it, and went to play in a local splash fountain area today. It was a lot of fun, and as usual I managed to get some really good pics... here are a few more. LOL (for more water pictures like this one visit my other blog)
Well we have been busy little bees lately, and the summer has only just begun. We are looking towards a very busy few months. So for now I end with a "Thanks for stopping by" and another photo of the kids.
