{SUMMER!}

Summer is in full swing! We are all finally better (I got sick after my last post!) and making the most of summer these days. It feels so good to be out doing fun things with the boys again. Here is the good time we have been having...
 
1. Playing with cousin Molly! They literally are obsessed with her.

2. We have had lots of birthday parties lately which has been a blast. A few of our friends all went to dinner after one recently. These kiddos found nearby dirt and played their hearts out! Look at all those dirty hands and legs...

3. We got some major rain for a week or two. It made it hard to get out and do things with the boys, so we made the best of it by putting on our rain boots and finding puddles to jump in. 


4. Last week we went to WonderWild with some of our friends and then ate lunch at the Black Walnut. These boys insisted on getting on the red pepper.  They can literally find fun anywhere.

5. That same day we also went to visit the Soto exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts.  It was so cool! Unfortunately not much else was kid-friendly so after about 20 minutes of getting the evil-eye from the security there because the kids were running around like crazy, we headed out. 






6. Luke and Ben are such good friends. They still fight a bunch, but they are truly each other's playmate and buddy. It fills my heart so much with joy I can hardly stand it most days. The other day I looked back and they were holding hands in the car.  Of course, I snapped a picture!
 
7.  I had been hearing all about the We {heart} Houston sign and I finally took the boys!  It was extremely overrated and slightly dangerous. It is right off the freeway so cars are flying by us just feet away. So it was hot, scary and not much to do. But it does make a great picture!  So we stayed all of two minutes with the promise of snow cones!

8.  And so we had snow cones!!  The pictures show how much fun this was...

9.  Every year I get Fourth of July shirts from Old Navy and take some pictures. The boys found the shirts early, so guess we they have been sporting all week?!?!

10. Luke won some of these teeth in a vending machine this week and he has been 'scaring' us quite a bit. Ha!

11. It is freaking hot here. Their sweaty heads just show you how much. This was at 9:30 am after about 20 minutes after a park. Needless to say, we cannot skip baths at night. They are a MUST!

12. Several evenings a week, we get out the baby pool and sprinkler till daddy gets home from work.  It gets us through that last hour or so. Luke is starting to get a bit devious because he likes to trick Ben into doing things and squirting him, etc.  It is a bit hard not to show them that I am laughing :).
 
 
We are headed to the bay house for the Fourth so I know I will be back with lots of pictures!  Hallelujah for the sickness to be gone from our house and for summer to be full of fun instead of germs!
