Lake and Friends

Saturday we woke up early to go garage sale hunting, we hear it is alot of fun and you can find some deals, as we stopped to get the paper from mom and dad Brant was asked to help dad with a plumbing issue in the bathroom. My husband is so nice. So Brant spent the next few hours working on the sink in the bathroom. But hey, mom and dad have all new plumbing and shut off valves (which weren't there to begin with). We were to meet up with some friends at 2, I think we all got on the water around 4.

Here is Parker the stuffed pig in his life jacket, he is holding on pretty good! Way to go Brant, leave the dirty lake trash the kids found in the photo! Who taught you to take photos?
Here is the boat beached at Kaw Lake with the new snazzy shade providing Bimini Top! I think she looks good! We are thinking about getting one that is alittle longer so it provides more shade. But I think this was a WISE modification we made to the boat.
Here is Kasha and Braden playing on the shore. All the white stuff, those are feathers. Guess the "mine" birds (finding nemo) loved the beach too.
The kids went to chase off the birds without telling any adults, this was them "kinda" coming back.
Lakes in the evenings are just beautiful. I love taking photos of the water. We were trying to load up and I had a husband that wasn't happy i wasn't securing all items. So this was a quick shot. Still pretty but I really wanted the sun.

We had a blast, we are so happy Nick, Sarah, Kasha and Paydon came with us. It is always more fun to have great friends out on the water with us. We hope to get out a few more times before the water gets cold. It was like warm bath water Saturday.

I just wanted to let Nick and Sarah know we enjoy having them here in Ponca, we are so happy they've moved here, they are a ton of fun to hang out with. Our children bicker like brother and sister but they love to play together and just look forward to each time we see em. Nick and Brant click pretty well, both have "unique" personalities and senses of humor (just kidding fellas), we all laugh the majority of the time, what else could you ask for? Nutten! They are headed to Idaho for a few weeks, we will miss em, but think it is awesome they get to go see family and complete some "family" goals!!!

Ridin' in Style and Shade

Before the installation.....
Brant seeing where he should put it.
easy as 123........ actually went quicker than most projects brant and I are apart of.
Lookin' good... ready for the lake tomorrow - Kaw Fest 2008 here we come.

Look for more photos tomorrow night - we are going out to Kaw Lake for some fun in the sun (and shade) tomorrow, going to take the Nick and Sarah and their two and our little ones. Gonna be fun! Hope the wind is nice to us tomorrow!

Trash-digger

So my husband had taken the sack out of the trashcan to fill it up more before heading it out to the ally. Parker found his spaghetti container from Pizza Hut.

Again, first clue Parker was quiet. DUH MOMMY

TOYS TOYS TOYS

I've decided that my boys became very spoiled the month of July. Since we held off on celebrating Parkers Birthday - we decided to give Parker Nana and Papa Garrison's birthday gift. It was a rough day!!! Braden had a very hard time with it. He didnt understand it wasnt his. He didnt like Parker having the firetruck. Parker really has enjoyed it.

Here we are trying to get braden just to ride his tractor. Parker is wondering if he is going to be knocked off again.

Here we go.. Happy again.

Sharing is good right?

A wonderfully giving family in our church gave, yes GAVE, Braden and parker a coupe car, slide, picnic table and a shopping cart. My boys have been in heaven. Both boys have their own favorite thing to do. Parker loves the back seat and of course Braden thinks he is big stuff sitting in the front.

So as soon as Braden saw I had the pool out with water he wanted to put the slide in it... Shortly after putting this together Parker came along with a stick and poked a hole in the top ring... Parker loves sticks! He walks around chewing on them. It is pointless for me to keep yanking them out of his hands. I guess he is missing some fiber or something! Parker loves to sit on the picnic table.

Saturday we also got the boys two more things. A work bench with a ton of tools and a pit stop car tool cart with a gas pump. I will try and get some photos up of them playing with the new stuff... they've been having a BLAST. I enjoy watching them play together. There are moments where I think I can have ten. Yes- but shortly after that thought someone screams or cries, bites or pushes... ahhhhhhh 2 is okay for now.

Memory Game

One of my friends had this on her blog and thought it sounded like a lot of fun.The instructions are as follows:
1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Baseball and Makeup?

Our summer has been full of evenings at the softball field. At least once a week but some weeks we get lucky and have two evenings! Here is a photo of Brant and Nick in the dugout between our double header!


Brant on First with First base coach at the time Steve.



This is BIG JOE as he is called, he has grown to tolerate the ball field, even enjoy it some nights! But he did enjoy playing with Bradens mitt.

Kasha and Heidi, there was a baby maltese at the ball park - but the dog didnt want to be in the photo.

Here is Parker finding the hazards of the city softball field. He comes homes filthy every time we go. But he has alot of fun.

Here are most the kids, one good thing about the park and play days the kids seem to get along real well and enjoy each other alot.

This is Paydon, isnt he a doll - His blue eyes were just popping this night and what a little charmer he is going to be.

SO during our sunday nap I was awoken to this face.... Yes Mascara and Lip gloss

Im wondering if playing with mostly girls all the time is having an effect on the little "diva" dude LOL... There are days he makes no sense! He sure didnt like me take the makeup off though..... he should count his blessing he doesnt have to have it on every day!

Happy Birthday Nana Garrison

Happy Birthday Nanna Garrison

Thank you for all that do for the boys! They love and adore you! We hope you have a great birthday!
