Cedar Creek Lake

Last weekend we went to our old neighbors lake house on Cedar Creek lake. It was awesome. We had such an amazing time. The boys had so much fun. They tubed, jet skied, swam in the pool and lake, made smores, and just relaxed. No kidding on Saturday they were in the water from 9-almost 7. They had such a great time.

My little fish

Most days in summer we swim. Most days in summer we swim more than once. It is a good thing my boys have always loved to swim. If not, we would have a pretty boring and frustrating swimmer. I have decided I am a much better outside mom than inside mom. I love to play outdoors. Jake is fearless of the water. He wants Scott to throw him as high as he can. He loves it. He will jump off waterfalls or anything else. We must keep the floaties on. I am much more nervous with him than Luke. Luke loves to swim, this summer he has become a fish. He is really a great swimmer. He has never been scared of the water and has always jumped from things, but I never feared him taking his floats off. I love summer...it is already going by too fast!!

Happy Birthday/Anniversary/Father's Day Scotty!!

This is Scott's big week. He turned 32 on Sunday, we will celebrate 9 years being married on Thursday, and Father's Day in Sunday. We usaully have a big celebration, but because I was out of town at a funeral yesterday, this year is much calmer. We will have friends over tonight to have cake. Scott had planned a suprise for me on Friday, but the funeral ruined it. We were going to get to go on a ride along with Dallas police men. We could not go in the same car, but were both getting to go. Now most of you would think, what a crazy anniversary present, however I think it is awesome. Scott and I are crazy and love to watch cops. It is so cool, so that was such a sweet gesture and I am so bummed I did not get to go. Scott is so precious to me. He is the best husband and dad. I am so blessed to have him to do life with. So happy birthday/anniversary/father's Day Hotty Scotty. I love you more than you could ever know. Thank you for being great!!

Football Camp and Swim Lessons

So today was a big day of summer. Luke started football camp and Jake started swim lessons. Luke was so excited. He was worried he woke up late, that would be 7 and was not going to be there on time. Not to worry, we arrived in plenty of time. We left football camp to head to Jake's swim lessons. He started with Ms. Kelly, who by the way is the best swim teacher ever. Luke went when he was 3 and could swim accross the pool within a couple of days.

Here are how camp and lessons went...

Mom, do you know what hike the ball means?

I said what does it mean.

Well, he says, it is a situation when blah, blah, blah is all I heard.

I could not believe he started a sentence with it is a situation. Hello are you 30?

Jake had a fun time at swim lessons. He is not scared at all. He is a mommy's boy, so he had to warm up to Ms. Kelly. After that he was all Jake. He was throwing everything across the pool, and he kept jumping off the step. The teachers would have another child and Jake would be under water. He is crazy!! He is very fun, but has no fear. He even went under the water to get a ring that was on the bottom step.

We are starting the summer off busy and fun!!

Pre-K Graduation

I cannot believe it, Luke graduated from Pre-K last night. I am so proud of him. He is the sweetest guy ever. I do have to admit I am anxious about him going to kindergarten, but I know he will be okay. I guess it is just because we keep them under our wing and now we have to let them go. He told me the other day he did not want to graduate because he would not see me all the time. I assurred him I would take him and pick him up, have lunch some time, and volunteer at his school. His response was "You won't be able to come and give me a hug during the day like you do at Mother's Day Out."

He was so cute at graduation. He walked in with one of his good friends that was in his class since he was 2, except this year. Luke had all the same friends until this year. We decided to only send him 2 days, so he moved classes from the kids he had been with the previous 3 years. They did a whole program. Each child had a speaking part. It was very sweet.

I am very proud of my precious Luke. He truly is a gift from God.

Prosperity Place Fun Run

This weekend was a blast. We all participated in a fundraiser for our niece Livia's school...Prosperity Place. It is a school where special need's kids recieve therapy. It is a school where all things are possible. Doctors said Livi would never walk and she runs now. It is an amazing school. My sister-in-law is the founder of the school. So the school had the first ever fun run and town fair. It was so fun. I was in charge of the drinks and desserts, so we worked on labeling water bottles and getting desserts in the weeks before. I also had a la-di-da booth, so I was pretty busy. The boys and Scott ran the fun run and Luke was so proud. We had been practicing for a few weeks, so he would not be sore. After that, there was a town fair. the boys dunked their cousins in the dunking booth, and they played games and ate everything in sight. It was so fun.

The rest of the weekend we spent in the pool at Scott's sisters. His parents had come in town, so we just hung out with his family. Jake seriously stayed in the pool for 3-4 hours each day. He did not want to get out. It was funny. Luke has become a great swimmer.

Today it is hot. I am not ready for these 100 degree days...yuck!!

Mom's and Muffins

Have I told you how much I love my boys? They are awesome. I was so excited to get to go to Moms and Muffins at school. It had to be a rushed time, so I could get to both classes and back to my baby room to take pictures, but it was so fun. Luke had made a calendar for his kindergarten year. Each page had his handprints somewhere on it. Jake gave me a flower and a keychain with his picture. He did not want to give the keychain up, so we put it on his backpack. On Mother's Day I just wanted to spend time with the boys. I have been so busy with la-di-da, I have not been able to play with my boys. So after church we went to McDonalds, yes Mother's Day is the slowest day at McDonald's all year. They boys played. We then came home and Luke and I went on a mile walk. He is "training" for the fun run he is doing this week. We played and then went to eat with my mom and grandmother for Mother's Day. I am so blessed to have such wonderful boys. They are such a perfect gift. Oh, yea not to leave Scott out. He made me a wonderful breakfast in bed before church. What a great guy he is.

On Saturday we went to two swim parties. we went

to the new Frisco aquatic center for a party. That place is awesome. The boys had so much fun. Then that night went to our neighbors bday party and swam outside. The boys stayed in the water for probably 3 hours. It was so fun and relazing.
