Water Balloons!

We bought water balloons awhile ago and Tyler has really want to have a water balloon fight.  I had planned to get them all ready one day while he was at a friends, then when he came home, me and Molly would surprise him.  That hasn't happened.  So yesterday while Molly napped, he talked me into getting them ready.  That itself was fun.  It's hard to hold wet balloons with wet hands and try to tie them, so they often drop-we were soaked before we were finished. 

They each had 25 balloons, I had 15.  They are a pain to tie.

Here are pictures from the fun after Molly woke up.

Weekend Recap

We were so excited when Brett & Carman called on Thursday and wanted to come that night and stay for the weekend.  We are also very excited they are moving to Austin and will only be 2 hours away.  We stayed pretty busy while they were here and had fun hanging out.  Friday morning, Carman went with us to the library and to the pool.  It was so hot this weekend, so the pool felt great. 

Friday afternoon, Tyler and Brett played video games while Carman and I went shopping for dinner.  Tyler wanted them to try Cresent Chicken.  The boy could eat that every night.  For dessert, we had rootbeer floats. 

Saturday morning the guys took Tyler to the driving range.  Carman watched Molly while I had a baby shower to attend.  That afternoon, we just hung out and relaxed.  For dinner, we went to Chuy's.

That evening we played some badminton once it cooled off-ya know, around 8:00 at night.  We've had this set for some time and Tyler has been dying to set it up.  It was fun.

Saturday night we watched James Bond-Skyfall.  It was the first Bond movie I have ever seen.  It was good!  Only 22 others I need to see, right?

Sunday we went to church and then just relaxed again in the afternoon.  We played some more badminton in the evening and had bbq for dinner.  Brett and Carman left Monday morning for Austin-they have their inspection today.  We can't wait for them to move at the end of the month.

Vacation Bible School

Last week we had VBS.  This was Tyler's first time and he loved it.  I was his crew guide and he was with several friends.  The theme was Kingdom Rocks.  We got the CD of music ahead of time and Tyler still loves listening to it.  He learned all the motions for the songs too.  Everyday we started off with everyone, then we went to games, snack, crafts, epic bible (a bible story acted out), and chadder-another story acted out, but it was about a guy wanting to become a Knight, not a bible story, but he used the bible point to help him out.  Everyday the kids could bring money to raise money for Bibles to send to India.  Tyler really liked doing that.  He did several different chores each night to earn money to take.  I'm trying to think of other ways we can continue this giving spirit. 
Here are some pictures of the week. 

Tyler picked out our shirts-his favorite color is green!

My Crew.  We were the Red Falcons.

Duck Pond

We fed the ducks and turtles at the duck pond a few days ago.  The kids loved it!!

Last days of being a Kindergartener

The last week of school, they had lots of fun things for the kids.  Monday was board games in class. Tuesday was a kick ball tournament.  Tyler was absent that day, but his class made it to the finals, so he was able to play in one game on Wednesday.  His class lost, but second place out of six isn't too bad.  That afternoon, they had a water day.  It was lots of fun.  There were 6 stations/games set up and it was hot, so the water felt great.

Thursday they could take a pillow and blanket and had a movie day with their class.  The teacher ordered pizza for lunch.  They also had popcorn and cupcakes. 
Here is my 1st grader now!

Busy Saturday

What a busy Saturday we had!  We went to the park in the morning, then to Home Depot to build a lawn mower pencil holder, and then to Pet Smart to see all the animals.  They were having dog adoptions, so the kids were in heaven. 

This was Molly's first time climbing up this.  She did great!

Just hangin' around.  This girl loves to hang.

oooh,, what's under this rock?

It's a baby grub.  Tyler tried to convince me it was so cute. 

Panda Express was handing out coupons and they had this bear there for their restaurant.  Molly was so scared of it, poor thing.  She stood looking the opposite way the whole time, looking at the floor, and telling me, home, home.  She wouldn't hammer in any nails or help with her project.  She'd look over at him out of the corner of her eye every now and then, but was very worried. 

After Molly's nap, we headed to the pool.  Tyler went down the slide several times by himself.  And Molly went down with me twice.  I thought for sure we'd get to the top and she'd tell me no, but she loved it!  At the pool, we ran into her friend, Elliott.  I've posted before about Mike and Linda.  They used to live here, then moved to IN.  They love the kids and our dogs.  Their daughter Lauren was at the pool with her adorable son.  The two had fun playing together.

After the pool, we had a going away party for some friends that are being stationed in Korea.  I don't have pictures of that, but we had a fun time.
