ALMOST as good as ...

DISNEYLAND!

For some reason all Emma talks about is DISNEYLAND & her desire to go ...

... I wish we were going with all of my family this year, but unfortunately it's not gonna work-out for us.

Last Saturday we were driving to a running store & Alan & I spotted these 2 & KNEW our kids would be THRILLED to see them!
They LOVED it!
Upon getting back into the car Emma EXCLAIMED to me,
"Mom, that was ALMOST as good as DISNEYLAND!!!"

Wheeler Farm ...

Last Friday we headed down to WHEELER FARM ...

... My kids had NO IDEA what that meant, but FARMS & us go hand-in-hand, so my kids were EXCITED!

You can't really tell in this picture, but Kye danced almost the WHOLE 40minute drive, bottle in hand, with the CUTEST grins & moves EVA!!!!Zachary was in LOVE with the tractors ... OF COURSE!

I just LOVE the lil' boy in him!First we had to try & find the Rabbits in their cages. They were hiding from the sun & Zachary wanted to play hide & seek with them, luckily Emma explained that Rabbits don't know how to play hide n' seek with us ... they don't even know how to count!The goats were a hit!

I think my kids liked that they could really get up CLOSE & personal with them!Emma LOOKED the entire time for a PINK PIG ... that's the one animal she REALLY wanted to see. Well, we only got to see a brown pig & she wasn't even gonna stop to see a BROWN PIG!Since we're the CHICKEN FARMERS we had to get a family pic by the CHICKENS.

Yes, my kids stood here & watched them for quite sometime, just like they do at our house.Then we got to play in the "treehouses".

All-in-all it was a FUN, FREE outing with my Kidd-o's!

We just LOVE Summertime!

Chalking ...

My kids LOVE to go outside & as Emma says "go CHALKING"

It's so CUTE to see their creations turn-out.

Emma is getting VERY creative in her drawings ...I LOVE the REAL flowers she added to her picture ... WHAT A CUTIE!!!

As for Zachary ... "he just LOVES to SCRAMBLE", Emma says & Zachary totally agrees.
"Mom, I just scrambles my MONSTER!"

Kye is more into EATING chalk ... GAG ME!

He also likes to "dance" around Zach's & Emma's Pictures

It's so much fun to hang-out with these kids ... How'd I get so LUCKY???

We did IT!!!

This lil' munchkin has ALWAYS had hair!

I've LOVED it, but it was started to look "moppish" & I am HORRIBLE at hair cutting.

I decided since it was summer, it was time to take the PLUNGE ...

BEFORE:



AFTER:

He's soooo STUDLY either way!!!

... Don't ya THINK!???!

18 months!

WOWSIE!!!

I CANNOT blieve this little guy is 18 MONTHS!!!

It's crazy that his time went faster than either of my other 2!!!

2 weeks ago he went to nursery & never looked back.

Zachary is in nursery & until the last month has CRIED every day going in.

I was expecting a little tears from Kye, but nope he ran right in.

I'm glad, but I BAWLED!!! Not sure why?!?!?? But I was really sad that he is old enough to be in there ... he's my BABY!!!

This Sunday, his 2nd week in nursery, he ran right in ... turned around & slammed the doors in our faces. Yep, he pretty much doesn't need us!!!!

I guess after a MAJOR crier, it is kinda NICE!!!

------

I just wanted to throw in pics of that Sunday of my other CUTIES!

I tried to get one off all 3, BUT with a 18month old & a 3 & 5 year old it WASN'T going to happen AT ALL!!! :)

Sundays are quite a BREEZE with only fighting kids for an HOUR!!!

Ahhh, it's nice to get my spiritual UPLIFT again!!

Shenanagins ...

We have been up to ALOT lately & I don't wanna do a post on each thing because I am enjoying my LAZY SUMMER DAYS!!!! :)

Luis, we hope you enjoyed National Donut Day like we DID!!!!YUMMMM ... donuts make us ALL happy!!!

We also got to use our BRAND NEW pool last Saturday.

Yes, it wasn't THAT warm, but WARM enough to play in our swimsuits!We have LOVED eating EVERY meal outdoors!

I love the CLEAN-UP or the LACK thereof!!! :) My older 2 have LOVED playing on Mom & Dad's phones!

Today "we" baked some Banana Bread & now we are ENJOYING it!The "we" baking went a lot like this ...I baked & they played!

That makes baking a little easier anyways ... RIGHT?!?!!!



I also have gotten to do a couple of shirt re-models ...

This is a sneak peak ... maybe someday I will post the finished product!!! :)

It's been fun to enjoy time OUTSIDE!!!

I LOVE SUMMERTIME!

Especially with my KIDD-O's LOVING every moment of it!

Breakfast in the Park ...

This is an activity I thought of last year & we LOVED!!!

We will be doing this TONS this summer!!We always have the park pretty much to ourselves!!!

No worries about MEAN kids & no worries about where my kids are!!!

GOSH, these kids are SOOO much fun to be around!!!

I'm really gonna MISS my lil' girl once she goes to school at the end of July!!!

BUT until then we are going to LIVE IT UP!!!!
