Great Lake Weekend!

We headed to Lake Ouachita last weekend to enjoy one of the last few times of boating for the summer. There were hardly any boats out, and we felt like we pretty much had the lake to ourselves!

The kiddos got ALOT of tubing time in due to the very low traffic on the water. Uncle Todd took Anniston and Michael out first. That was the only time he took both. I think it wore his upper body out trying to keep up with 2 kiddos! Typical routine....climbing up the ladder, piggies to the edge, READY, SET, GO!

.....Just like sissy!

Too cool for words!

Mommy and Treyson took the "sitting up" approach to tubing. Treyson seemed to enjoy it more this way...alot less bounce!

Thank you MaMa and PaPa for another GREAT weekend on the lake!

Our babies!

My parent's wanted to get a picture of all of their grandkids this weekend while we were at the lake. I snapped this pic of our kids while we waited on our cousins to get their Razorback shirts on. Just putting the kiddos in Razorback gear gives me such a warm and fuzzy feeling about football being less than 2 weeks away!! WOOOOOO PIG SOOOIE!!!

Pudding Clapping

Pudding + Clapping.....2 things that don't mix. Treyson tried to mix them tonight while eating his dessert. Mommy was outside working in the yard, so Dadoo handled this one. Treyson got a triple time out (3 minutes---not recommended by Super Nanny, but Dadoo felt that this naughtiness was not a 1 minute-worthy time out)

After his time-out, Treyson got a wet rag and had to scrub the pudding off the floor and wall (well, as high as he could reach...Mommy and Dadoo scrubbed the pudding that got too high). You can even see the brown spots on his shirt!

He was very good about scrubbing though. When he was finished, Mommy took the rag and started to get the high spot. It was so nice to have Treyson point and show me all of the brown spots on the wall that I needed to scrub.....HA, HA!

Silly Treyson

Jerry took Treyson to the potty on Monday night, and walked off afterwards telling him to pull up his own underwear and shorts. I watched Treyson as he tried so hard to get them up. It was so precious to see how proud he was of himself. . . he just left a little too much still hanging out!!

I still don't think he knew why we were laughing so hard and taking pictures of his cute little bo-bo!!

End of Year Party!

Anniston's party at school was last Thursday. She had such a great time. They set up games in the gym, and kids got to run wild for 2 hours!

Enjoying a sno-cone! Mmmmmm.....purple and red mixed sno-cone!

One of the 2 paintings she got!

Found a silly band in the treasure hunt game!

Anniston, we are so proud of everything you learned while you were a Bouncy Bunny. We can't believe that you're going to be a Pink Panther now! We love you so much, and know that you'll learn even more this year!

Love,

Mommy and Dadoo!

Water Park Fun!

Thursday night we took the kids to the Aquatic Center for a couple of hours. The water temperature was perfect, and the kids had an absolute blast! Anniston is still not tall enough to go down the slides there (you have to be 48 inches), so she was bummed for about 2 minutes over that. Anniston and Treyson are such water babies, so it is so much fun getting them into the water knowing they'll have a great time!

Here's Anniston trying to smile while standing under a waterfall! The kids love climbing up onto this log that floats in the water. And then they love to fall off!

Cheese Mommy!

Somebody had a 1 minute time-out for not walking. At first I gave him a warning for no running, so he started skipping everywhere!--smart kid.

I joked that they looked like the ducklings following the Daddy duck! They have so much fun with their Dadoo....he's basically like another kid....he totally reverts into a child-like state when he plays with them. I love to watch them all play together.

Happy Summer! Stay cool!!

Chuck E. Cheese!

Another tradition that we started with our kids is to take them to Chuck E. Cheese on their birthday. We get a picture of them on the little "Sketch Photo" booth, and it has the date on it.

We had family out to the Ft. Smith Chuck E. Cheese, and everybody had a great time! Here's Anniston's cookie cake:

Our big 4 year old (with apparently too small of panties on--see previous post--haha)!!

Mmmmmmm.....3 little Cookie Monsters! Treyson, Anniston, and cousin Michael

Thank you MaMa, PaPa, Nanny, Paw Paw R, Uncle Matt, Emily, Uncle Todd, Aunt Melissa, Michael, and Connor for meeting up with us at Chuck E. Cheese. We had so much fun, and Anniston was so happy to celebrate with all of you!
