What would you like for dinner?

Mom: What would you like for dinner?

Mason: Well, I would like Dad to get his camouflage on, get his gun and get in his truck, go out to the woods by great grandpa's house, sit in his tree stand and shoot a deer. Then he could bring it home in his truck, and chop it up and we could bring it to grandma's house and she could cook venison steak for us.

Mom: Is that all?

Mason: Yep. Could you call Dad and let him know?

Mom: It's July, your dad can't go hunting right now for deer.

Mason: Okay, we can just have pizza then.

Pool TIME (2)

Just another lazy day floating by the pool. Mason liked floating.






His favorite thing of the day was "Diving for the rings".





This is Mason just coming up from diving for the rings.

He was such a little fish.








He asked me three times on the way home when we could go back again.






Justin in action. At first he was a little afraid of the diving board. Would not go even near it. Then Amiya started going off the board, so Justin got a little braver.

By the end of the day he was running and jumping off the board. He made quite a few belly flops/arm splashes that looked like they hurt a little, but each time he got back up and did it again. "The diving board" was his favorite part of the day.

I had such a good day watching the boys have fun and forget about everything else. It was good to sit with two friends and chat, learn new things and reinforce new friendships. Thanks for a good time. Can't wait to do it again.

POOL TIME!! (1)

Today we went to a friend's pool and had a blast!! When we first arrived the clouds were out, but then the sun came out and warmed us up. What a beautiful day to spend by the pool.



The boys at first were anxious to use the intertubes, then they discovered the goggles and the tubes were history.







The boys with their suction cup goggles that made a "oohheewick" sound every time they took them off. They loved the goggles. They were diving for everything under the water, looking around and just loving the pool time.






Above Justin is trying to do tricks, but they're not turning out so well. It is hard to swim underwater with a life jacket on. By the end of the day he was doing tricks without the life jacket and having a blast. It was awesome to see how much more daring he was in the water from when we first arrived at the pool.


Justin doing some sort of a summersalt. He's holding his breath though he never actually went under the water.









Jakers the egg - "I'm a magical egg". What a true little character. He is an interesting little man.

What are you thinking?

Mason what are you thinking about right now?

Mason: "Well, first I would like to go to chuck e cheese's but just to play, not eat the pizza and then I want to come home."

Mom: "What would you like to do next."

Mason: " I don't know. Anything with you mom".

drip drip, that was my heart melting.


Mom: Justin what are you thinking about right now?

Justin: "I'm thinking my "Mechoke" didn't evolve at level 41 and how long will it take to evolve?"

(this is a pokemon thing, his current obsession)

Water Fight

Tuesday, it was hot and muggy out and the boys
decided to have a water fight.

They got into their swimsuits, found their squirt
guns and went to town.

There was water everywhere.


Below, Mason is asking "Do you want some of this?"


















Refill time, then try and hit all the flies that come by. And the bubbles too.














Such a hansome boy. All geared up to get Mason, who was hiding behind Mom's chair.












Sneaking up from behind. SHHH..

Pekadills

Mason: We should go to Pekadills for ice cream.

Mom: Why's that?

Mason: Because it has 32 flavors of ice cream including mint chocolate chip.

(just a fun time I wanted to remember. I can see his face when he told me this and his finger pointing up in the air). He's a keeper.

Midget plus Me

Justin: Hey Dad guess what.

Dad: What son?

J: If you put a midget on my head that was 1 foot 8 inches tall, then I would be as tall as you.

Dad: What?

J: Dad if you put a midget on my head and he was 1 ft 8 inches tall I would be as tall as you are.

Dad: Good point.

The boys are always doing math things like that. This particular one was on the way home from fireworks July 4th and we had seen a midget-like person go by us in a wheelchair. Justin noticed her and mentioned something about the wheelchair going really fast. It was a funny moment for us, maybe you won't laugh, but oh well, we did.

4th of July Parade.

We went to the 4th of July parade, all 4 of us, and stood there for quite a while. It was quite

the long parade. 1 hour, 15 minutes worth. There was a lot of political "floats" this year of course it is an election year. There were fire trucks, a beach chair brigade, a lot of candy being passed out and even the Arby's hand. My favorite was the Weesies' float with all the flowers. (top picture above). It was a nice day for a parade.

Laundry Duty

Here's Justin putting clothes in the dryer from the washer.
















Here comes Mason. "What are you doing Justin?"
















Mason decided to help. It took them about 5 minutes to get all the
stuff out of the washer. They did work together, which was nice to see.
They both needed a shower, so if they fell in it would be okay.. lol.
