Visit to the Mountains

Kevin, Griffin, Carson, Reese & Brett went for a quick visit to Cashiers while Hadley was at Gymnastics camp. The had fun hiking, golfing, swimming and playing with the cousins- Cole, Jake & Emma. They also enjoyed the fact that it was about 15 degrees cooler up there than it was at home!

Gymnastics Camp

Hadley had gymnastics camp this week. She loved every minute of it. She was there 7 hours a day and still wanted to go back for the 2 hour open gym at night! I wish I had that kind of energy! At the end of camp they handed out a few awards and she got one for being the hardest worker-GO HADLEY!

The Mall

Everyone knows how much I "love" shopping but since I only had 2 kids for a night I told Hadley we could go to the Mall after I picked her up from camp. She was thrilled and it looks like Whit enjoyed himself, too.

Funny things 4 year olds say

Brett: "Mom, when I get married and have a wife, I am going to ask her if she wants to                    come and meet you."

Brett: " You know mom, when I get married I am going to live here with you and Pop                        forever and if she doesn't like that- well too bad for her!"

Mom: "Well, if you live here where are you going to sleep?"

Brett: "I'll sleep on the top bunk and my wife will sleep on the bottom bunk"

Brett: "Mom, you are the best Mom in the whole entire world......(pause)....

               What do I get for saying that?"

Mom: "How about a big hug and kiss"

Brett: "No. How about a new action figure?"

Brett after coming home and playing with some visiting chihuahuas at Gram's house and feeling guilty:

"I am sorry Parker (our dog), I admit it, I was petting another dog! But don't worry because you are the best dog in the whole world!"

Video Games

Brett loves action heros! He has found some online Marvel superhero games that he likes to play and he is "teaching" Whit how to play. Is 1 too young to be addicted to video games?

BUBBLES!!!

Gram and Grandpa enjoying a tasty meal

We went to the zoo for a free night of fun with Gram and Grandpa M. They had food and music and free rides on the Merry-Go-Round so we took advantage of it and rode it 5 or 6 times. We also got yummy ice cream to complete the fun!

Popsicles

There's nothing like a cool, refreshing popsicle on a hot summer day. My kids can go through a box in a couple of days. Here is a photo of them enjoying a few popsicles in the driveway- Did I mention that it was 9:30 am? Popsicles for breakfast- that's healthy, isn't it?
