Busy Busy Busy

The weekend before Memorial Day was also a 3 day weekend for Elliott, we thought we would be smart and take that opportunity to finally visit LegoLand since all the other schools were still in.  We pulled up and there were 10 school buses.  We were thrilled....It wasn't too bad though and LegoLand is way fun! The girls can't wait to go back!
 Berkley and Chris on one of the 2 rides
 Elliott and Patton on the slide
 E and P singing some karaoke
 you could build cars and test them out on this big track


 They had the whole city of Dallas made out of Lego's, they also had all the surrounding areas too. It was so neat!
 Berkley found sponge bob and Patrick in one of the suites at the rangers ballpark

 Proof I was there *besides all the pictures
 P looked so cute in his 3D glasses
 That following Monday Elliott had field day at school

 Sunday we went to our friends house for a Memorial day BBQ . It was so fun! Patton enjoyed the slip n slide
 As did Elliott
 I wonder how many pics of Patton and corn on the cob I will have by the end of the summer.  He just makes eating look so cute!
 I think I'm going to make a book of Patton kissy face pictures.  Seriously. Does it get cuter than this?
 Here he is going in for a smooch from a pretty lady
 "Uh Oh. Mom caught me kissing girls again"
 This guy was on an absolute sugar rush.  Do you like how he eats the bottom of the cone first? 

 There was an awesome game of smashball.  Looking at the pictures it looks pretty mean probably- the adults took turns hitting the big balls with bats as the kids ran back and forth to base trying not to get hit. Best. Game. Ever.
I love this one of Baylor trying to dodge the ball and get to base.  He made it!
 This one cracks me up! All of their faces are hysterical.

 After Patton finished his ice cream he scored 2 of these kool aid drinks. Its like his parents have given up.
Lake on Monday- my favorite place to be in the whole wide world is on a boat.  That's J and Ray on the tube.
 Tuesday Elliott had her end of year program at school.


 This guy will be terrorizing the halls of elementary school before we know it.


 This little monster only has a year left at home with us, then its off to kindergarten for her!

Lots of Water!

Warning- this post has about a billion pictures on it.  I am out of complete control!  I've been trying to take lots of pictures to work on my photography different random things, like nailing focus on lightning fast kiddos among other things.  Its totally fun and I love working on it, but it leads to a huge amount of pictures to go through all the time!  I am overwhelmed with trying to organize them and get them all printed in shutterfly books.  Because lets face it, every picture of my kids is cute ;-)

So here is Mr Smiley face in the bathtub.  He spends his time in the bath seeing exactly how much water he can get on the floor before I have had enough and make him get out.
Ways to do this:
Filling up the hair washing bucket and dumping it out
Filling up the bucket and acting like he's going to pour it into something else- then quickly dumping it out
Turning the faucet to go outside of the tub and turning it on full blast (that's my personal fave)
Turning on the water and putting a large scooped shovel under the stream so it flows right out
Splashing
So you can see why he has such a large grin on his face.  He's planning his next move.
 Sweet Berkley Bubble Head
 He doesn't like being Mr Bubble head.  He probably turned the faucet around right after this.
 The kids love to go to the park, we try to go in the morning before it is too hot.  Another part of my photography I'm working on is getting pics that look good in full sun.  Its quite a challenge!
We walk to the park with the double stroller- Patton spends almost the entire ride trying to hurt Berkley. He pulls her hair, we have tried everything to get him to stop. One day I even ended up wrapping him in a sweater like a straight jacket.  It worked for about 3 minutes. Poor girl!

This time they had suckers and that occupied him for a little while, until he saw that beautiful flowing hair right next to him. 
Isn't she adorable?
 Playing Ice Cream Shop.  Quite a handsome little ice cream man.
 Berkley striking a pose waiting for me to order my ice cream

 Patton loves the slide. He gets to the top and either says "weee weee weee" or "uh uh uh GO!"
 (uh uh uh is said in the same tone as 1-2-3)
 Cutie pie
 That same afternoon the kids were playing outside and we decided to introduce Patton to the sprinkler
 He was a big fan!

 Love this picture of my E bop! She looks like a little model
 Speaking of models- who is this cute tennis pro?

 Our neighbor Owen using a shield to stop the water
 Good Buddies
This guy is our friend Brody- he belongs to Brian and Brea- Brian and Chris have been friends since Kindergarten.  I need to get a pic of these boys with their dads- they both look exactly like them. I can't wait to compare old pics of Chris and Brian with pics of these two when they get a little bigger!
 Mother's Day was great! I don't have a ton of pictures from it, but they brought me breakfast in bed and all 3 of them did awesome art projects for me. Chris is so sweet and looks up crafts and goes and buys stuff for them to create for me.  I need to take pics of all the cute things I got from them. I also got an awesome necklace with all 3 kids first initial. I love it!

I liked how this pic turned out with a rainbow
 Am I one lucky mama or what?! Look at those sweet smiles!
 Patton thought he should try eating his donut a new way to keep it interesting
 Another view of my awesome babies. 
 We went to my parents house for lunch to celebrate.  I am sure they just love having a pool, as soon as the grandkids walk in the door they are all begging to go swim. 


The End!
