Fun at Bounce Town...

Thursday was another cloudy day - surprise-surprise...So my aunt Amy and I took the kids to a jumpy house place in Oswego called Bounce Town.  The kids had lots of fun.  Grey was a little timid at first but followed Livy around like he'd been there a million times before.

A little mid air shot...

Ready to go down the slide...

 Which he did over and over again...

 Livy and her mama

And a little power hockey in between...

Grey couldn't reach up by the table unless he was on his tip toes...

They really liked the batman one...

Good day and once again Grey slept really really GOOD afterwards!

Swimming with the boys!

Even though the weather has not been that great - (and this 9 month prego mama could care less & will take these 70 degree temps everyday right now ;)) we still managed to fit in a little night swim this week.  The beginning of the week was still warm enough so the boys took Grey swimming.  He loved it to say the least. 

Nate has not really seen Grey swim yet this summer so he was very impressed when he saw how good Grey is doing in the water and jumping off the board.

Uncle Alex knows how to have fun at the pool...

Grey loves when they throw him in the air

 and the big splashes are the best...

and coming down for the landing...

We lost a water shoe...(Look at Nate here -ha!)

Fun in the pool - check

Fun with daddy-check

Fun with Uncle Alex-check

Good nights sleep because 2 year old was tired out - check check!

Painting

Tuesday night it was pretty stormy around here.  So it was the perfect night to pull out our paints.  You have been quite the artist lately and have been really in to painting here at home

I did my usual...write your name...I like to doodle like that...I did make you a pretty cool tractor but your daddy showed me up...(but I don't have a picture to prove that)

 You two were pretty cute painting together I must say...

 You work very hard and go through about 50 pieces of paper-ha!

 Your masterpiece...Good Job Grey...you are an awesome painter/artist...

I hope you go out and paint your own masterpiece today.  What the heck?!  Go for it!

Wordless Wednesday {Watermelon Tasting}

{Consensus - It was really really good watermelon}

Father Fiesta

We like themes around here...But the men in my life know what's really important and for them as long as their family is near they have a good time.  And that we did. 

We went with a mexican fiesta for Father's Day.  All mexican food, margaritas, and a sombrero (however I don't have a pic of that sombrero my dad rolled in with  -my fault completely) but we had it going on.  We even had a pinata for the kids.  Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mike were the fabulous hosts this Father's Day.

 This one enjoying a blue sucker in the heat

Along with some love from Auntie Mims.

Then came the whoopi cushion....this played quite a role for us on Sunday...Grey thought the "noises" were just the berries...

A few gifts to open in between...

and pictures with 'da boys'

As I told you we went with a Mexican theme...with chips/salsa, hot tamali's, mexican ribs, chicken tacos, corn salsa - I'm tellin' ya we had it...it looked like a spread from Mickey's!

 And for dessert, well we capped that off with grandma Joyce's homemade strawberry cream rolls...can you say - yummm!

Grey and his daddy

The fabulous hostess...

and then we broke out that pinata I was telling you about

and of course had fun with the whoopi cushion a little more.

Grey took his turn

Livy took her turn

and Mary took her turn, but we just weren't getting anywhere

We were havin' a hard time breaking that pinata so Grey and Dee Dee watched intently

 Uncle Alex gave it a try

and Auntie Mims gave it a try

Then Mary pulled out her BIG DOG....and gave that sucker a good swat!  Check out that softball stance.

and after a couple swings - the pinata broke and all the candy fell out

and the kiddos ran and filled their bags.

See!

Grey went with a ring pop to start!

Happy Father's Day!  It was a good one!
