Our summer has been so busy I have not properly documented this first half but I will do better, or at least will try :)
We have constant fights over the baby: who will hold her is the top fight, followed closely by who will turn on her swing (Ryan's favorite place to be)
Water balloons are a big hit this year. We fill up half a package and then put them all over the trampoline. Tyson who is pretty meek at throwing while playing baseball will chuck a water balloon like no other.
Swimming is always a top summer activity but we haven't gone too often yet. Taylor is finally getting brave and now does this slide without a floaty or having to be caught at the bottom.
Hayden loves the water and would stay in the pool all day if we let her. She has a swim suit with a built in ring around the belly and she will swim and swim all by herself.
Tyson finished another baseball season. He refused to hit the entire season, I drug the boy to every game and faithfully cheered him on when he would hack at the ball and then step out of the box acting scared of the ball. Well the last game in the last inning on his last pitch the boy hit the ball!! (I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!) I screamed like a crazy and burst out crying. (I was also very pregnant at the time, but I think I would have been crying anyway) Jason and I debated all season, I love baseball and Jason loves soccer. He thinks Tyson is bored of baseball and that is why he acted so crazy all season. So now what does Tyson do that the season is over? Begs us every day to play baseball with him. He is trying his hardest to send me to the looney bin!
The other day Taylor passed out while holding the baby, we couldn't stop laughing, she was not amused by us taking pictures of her :)
Hayden is a funny kid, not at all like the older two. She loves to play by herself and we find her in the craziest places with all of her toys. She is loving baby dolls lately and got really upset when we tried to get upsatirs and mess up her babies sleeping.
The water park is a weekly staple. This is the one and only picture I have of our multiple trips. I'm glad my kids aren't afraid of water!
I saw this idea on pintrest, just to clarify I created a pintrest account but I put it under Jason's name. We have had some interesting questions about Jason and his pintrest. I am not on facebook and you needed a facebook account to sign up, so there you go. Anyhow this crazy Mom took her kids toys and froze them for her kids for a fun summer activity. I took it a little farther and collected the toys they wouldn't pick up and froze them. So if you want your toys back, get to work! The Mom on pintrest gave her kid a hammer but I wanted them to really work so I gave them a spoon (insert evil laugh here).
Tyson asked me to take a picture of him posing like this. Is it just me or do boys get weirder and wierder as they get older? Tyson was working so hard on getting his toys out he got sunburned! That is summer so far, I'll catch up soon on some other big activities we have done :)
