Happy Father's Day!

The boys sure love their Daddy and "Big Daddy" (as Stan referred to himself today!) We gave Aaron a new shirt and tie, new shoes, a steering wheel cover, a BBQ Grill AND (last but not least) an ironing board. I don't iron (usually).. and Aaron has been asking for one ever since our move. It was kind of a joke, but not really. We love you, Aaron! You're the best Dad a kid could ever hope for (and a pretty good husband, too!)

A visit from the Grandparents..

It was a fun weekend with Aaron's parents in Vegas! They were so nice to come see us and take care of the kids while we went out. Aaron and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary yesterday. There's nothing like leaving the kids with fun grandparents. Ben and Luke were practically pushing us out the door. Thanks for coming for the visit!

This picture isn't particularly flattering... but I have been meaning to post a picture of my red hair. I disappointed Deb by dying my hair with a box color. I can definitely tell it's not as healthy, but it's fun for the summer.

What do you get when you combine a hot summer day, a trampoline, and a Batman Slip & Slide?

A lot of fun.

1. No, this isn't our first time doing this.
2. No, we didn't have any broken bones or accidents.
3. Yes, I was out there sliding on it with the kids..
if you didn't know that... you don't know me by now.

Who's in charge here?

I was making lunch a few minutes ago when I hear Ben say, "Zack, come over here. Do you see this? You let your milk drip on the couch! I am not mad at you this time, but don't do it again!"

Excuse me? I am not even that harsh on my 18 month old. But whatever... as long as our house is under control.

Mommy's Little Helpers

After dinner, Ben asked if he could do the dishes (thanks to his primary teacher who challenged the kids to help around the house :) Luke volunteered to do the rinsing and within a minute, Zack was helping too. I will never forget this moment.. all three squished on the bench, slaving away.. or rather, playing in the water.
