It is HOT!

It is really hot here. And as summer inches along, we are running out of things to do. So after we ran some errands on Monday, we headed back to Pizza Kastle to play some games and beat the heat. I think Jake has officially mastered the claw game. He won 11 stuffed animals on Monday!

Jake's Prizes!

Cole tried to win. He wanted to do everything Jake did. I love this picture of him stretching as much as he could to try and play the game. He never got upset that he didn't win. Jake gave him one of his winnings, and he was as happy as could be!

Then he enjoyed a yummy chocolate cupcake!

And if the word "cupcake" is mentioned anywhere near Scout, she has to have one too! :)
This girl LOVES anything chocolate!

Grandmama came with us too!

I made Scout's outfit with my Mom's help. I think it turned out so cute!

I thought I would close with a picture of our new house! We are moving next week!

It's Official!

Our house sold!

We are so excited!

Blue Springs

Today we headed to Blue Springs in Marianna, Florida.

The place is really neat! There is a diving board, water slide, children's area, and a playground! The water is crystal clear and freezing, but it felt really good today. It was hot!

Here are some pictures from our day!

Scout, Cole, Jake, Bailey, and Connor (my niece and nephew)

Jake jumping off the diving board!

Scout playing in the water!

Cole playing in the sand!

I love this picture. Scout took Cole's hand to help him walk out a little deeper.

It was so sweet.

We had so much fun. Then the sun disappeared, and the sky looked like this in a matter of seconds.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted! We are hopefully going back next week! Can't wait!

Monday Fun!

Today we decided to beat the heat and eventually the rain and headed to

Pizza Kastle!

We had a really good time, stayed cool and dry, and won a lot of tickets!

Jake won 305 tickets all by himself!

He was so excited!

Scout didn't win as many tickets, but she could have cared less! She had a ball!


Cole hit the jackpot!

Together Cole and Scout had 200 tickets. Thanks mostly to Cole.

Jake won everyone a horse on the claw game. He was so excited. He has tried to win that game forever, and today he won 3 times!

What We've Been Up To...

Much of this past week had skies that looked like this...

Needless to say, we didn't get to play outside much.

So...

We put puzzles together!

We went to the movies to see Toy Story 3! It was wonderful!

Jake finally lost his second tooth!

Then we lost the tooth. We have a feeling that Cole might have had something to do with it going missing. He says he saw the tooth grow feet and walk away! Sounds suspicious! We looked for the tooth for an hour, but we never found it. Luckily the tooth fairy still came!


We were able to get outside a little and plant a few flowers. This is Cole pointing out that we needed to work on the planters on the front porch! :)

This is after the picture!

Friday, we went to an ice cream party at Don's office.

They made about six different kinds of homemade ice cream and had a few other snacks.

Cole, Me, Jake, and Bailey (my niece) at the party.

Scout and Big Bunny! She insisted that Big Bunny wanted to come to the party.

Saturday was my and Don's anniversary! Eleven years! My parents kept the children so we could go out to eat and to the movies to see...

It was really good!

Of course, I am a huge Twilight fan so there was no way that I wasn't going to love it!

This picture is from today.

The kids picked apples and pears at my parents house and decided to feed a few to the cows when we got home.

Happy Fourth of July 2010!
