It was pretty hot here today, so my dad filled the pool up for the kids in the morning. By the time they got in it after rest time, it was as warm as bath water.

They loved it.

We went to visit some friends at their campsite today.

The kids loved playing in the sand and laying in the hammock.

They also got to splash around in a little pool. Luke and Adam were able to show off their cannonball skills to a whole new audience.

And they had golf cart rides, ice cream sandwiches, and hot dogs too.

These kids have a whole lot of people that spoil love them.

After the kids helped with some yard work at my grandma’s, Rob and I took them to the playground.

This was their first time at this particular one and they had a blast.

Later that night we went for a walk to get some ice cream.

I’d say they have it pretty good.

I picked up the remote to change the channel to cartoons for Luke and he stopped me. “No Mom, I watch a cowboy show like Papa.”

My dad doesn’t wear a bike helmet while watching “Gunsmoke” though, that’s all Luke Luke.

The other day, Luke asked if he could play with his trains. When I said yes, he said, “Thank you mom, that was mighty nice of you.”

I wholeheartedly approve of his new found love of cowboy shows.

Maggie is crazy about Denny. She gives him kisses and hugs as soon as she sees him and always speaks to him in a sweet little high pitched voice.

She was thrilled last night when she got to push him around in her stroller – Denny was less sure about it all.

Maggie has been pretending to be a monster a lot lately. She hunches her back, holds her hands up, and tries to sneak up on people – usually while giggling and saying, “I monster, I monster”.

The boys went to an auction with Uncle Steve, Uncle Rock, and Aunt Amanda.

No, they didn’t buy a tractor.

My friend Shannon spoiled them with play-doh, Lego sets, and a new baby for Maggie.

My Aunt Cathy spoiled them with new pillow cases. Luke’s have Thomas the Train and Batman on them, and Maggie adores her new Minnie Mouse pillow.

Uncle Steve helped them build a door out of pipes.

And Maggie is just cute – even when she’s breaking the rules and standing on a chair.

We went to a Fireman’s Picnic over the weekend.

The kids loved playing in the corn pit. We did have to stop Luke from “cannonballing”.

Uncle Steve tried to bury the boys and Adam made corn angels.

They also liked riding in this tractor pulled train.

And playing in the bounce houses.

It was a great way to spend the afternoon (especially since we got a round of milkshakes before we left).

This little peanut has been extra sassy lately.

You can see it in her walk. I love when she gets her little arms swinging.

She’s a spunky little lady, that’s for sure.

“Shhhhh Mom, the engines are talking!”
