Fun on the Lake!

Austin & Brantlee (his cousin)

I'm SOOOO glad we didn't have school today! We went out on the lake with Haylee, Paul, Brantlee, Caralee, and "Chicken Bock-Bock!" It was the first time we've gone wth them since they got the jet ski a couple of weeks ago! Boy, did we have fun!?! Austin was a little nervous about it at first, but he grew to love it. I must say, he might have a little dare-devil in him afterall! Logan liked it, but he likes the boat just as well. When Katelee and I went out the second time (and of course had LOTS of fun jumping waves and turning doughnuts), I flipped us and the jet ski! That was quite an experience! Everyone back on the boat (docked at an island) had fun laughing at us trying to flip it over ourselves, but we did it! To make matters worse, another boat came to ask if we were okay...so that gave them even more laughs! Oh well, it was a very fun day! It sure beat being in a classroom!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day...(a week later)! Six long hours after Logan woke me up at 6:30 running into the bedroom saying, "Happy Mommy's Day!" We spent Mother's Day hanging out by the pool. The weather was beautiful, and though all the grown ups thought the water was much too cold for swimming, the children didn't seem to notice! We were able to get them out of the pool long enough to eat lunch and then later to help devour a watermelon...it was a BIG hit! Both my boys were sweet as ever, and they helped make the day very enjoyable!

Odds and Ends of Spring...

One of the boys favorite things to do at the zoo is feeding the giraffes!

It's so neat how you can get that close to them,

and they come right up and eat from your hand!

Here are my two sweet boys in front of the Wysteria Tree at my

Mom and Dad's! It's always SO pretty when it blooms!

It was hard to snap a good picture because of all the

bees flying around the flowers, but we managed to get one! :)

These are two of my favorite pictures of the flowers around our bird bath!

I've never planted a flower in my life before these.

It's my newest project by the pool.

I hope they stay looking this pretty for a while!
