Slip-n-Slide

Target was having a clearance on alot of their summer stuff so I purchased a slip-n-slide for $4.98. It was the best five dollars that I've ever spent we had so much fun! I even went down the slide and enjoyed every second. It was so cute, Ryan was belly flopping on it and Dylan was crawling down it.

Columbia

Last week we decided to go to Columbia. We spent the whole afternoon there and had a blast! We panned for gold, made a candle, fed some chickens, and climbed on all of the rocks. So fun!

Handsome Boys

I love these little boys so much! They are just so handsome and fun- the whole package!

Activities Director

For some reason my boys are so bored this summer. It's been too hot to go outside during the day so we've been staying inside and doing craft projects. I swear I feel like an activities director for a camp. Everyday we've been doing something. It's been fun, and definitely a little messy. Here are the boys making their catepillars.

Micke's Grove Zoo

Daniel decided that he wanted to go to Micke's Grove Zoo in Lodi. I reluctantly agreed to go(the last time we went Ryan wasn't even 1 and I remembered it being lame.) Well, I still kind of think it was lame, but the boys had fun. Plus, there was a really cool park that Ryan had a lot of fun playing on.

The Bat Tunnel

Ryan got a Batman yesterday and has not let it leave his side since. Batman even slept in his room! I had already gotten him a smaller Batman so that is Dylan's now. We brought out his tunnel and they had tunnels going from one boys room to the other. Dylan can say Batman, by the way. He says "Batba"- it's pretty cute listening to him put his own twist on words!

Boys love forts!

Trying to think of things to do, the boys and I decided to build a fort. We drapped blankets over the dining room table and made a "Boys Only" fort. They loved it and played cars in there and just had a ton of fun!

Two Little Daddies

One year for Christmas Joel and Rachel drew us for the gift exchange and we got a Baby Emma doll (It was the Christmas right after our "baby Emma" turned out to be baby Ryan. We laughed and thought, what could we do with this and our little boy? Now having two little boys you would think we would need it even less. Well, Ryan and Dylan were actually fighting over who got to push the doll in the dolly stroller. I decided that we would get another baby and stroller. Off we went to Toys-r-us. Unfornately for Dylan there were no manly looking dolls or strollers so we got a very pink stroller and doll. That's alright, real men can push pink strollers! Now Ryan and Dylan push their strollers all over the house and Ryan says that they are the daddies and that they are taking their babies for a walk. Their babies do everything with them right now, I have no doubt that they are going to be great daddies someday- probably because their daddy is such a great example!

Fun in the Sun

Upon returning home we went out and got a little pool, just the right size for our yard and our little guys. We were in it all day! We had so much fun! Ever since swim lessons Ryan has turned into such a little fish and Dylan likes to put his head under water. The best part of the day was being together (oh and the hour massage I got durning the afternoon).
