Legos are a regular thing around here. Almost every day Aaron is creating a new thing-a-ma-jig and having us all enraptured by his creation! Ammon's more of a "kit" Lego man & can really punch those out! Michael and Asher love playing with big boys creations. Big boys don't like that so much. So Asher and Michael have been creating towers & castles of their own with their Duplo blocks!
Some movies we saw this summer in the theater include:
survey says?!?! Our family's favorite: TOY STORY 3. If you have seen it. Go!
Something we just can't get enough of are eating Dinner outside. dinner picnics. We've done that several times this summer. Sprinklers somewhere always seem to turn on and call us to them...
one of these dinners out Eric took the boys to Subzero ice cream (cryogenics- direct contact freezing- nothing is frozen before you get there- you choose your flavors & they mix, & freeze in a matter of seconds right before your eyes!) afterward while I got a pedicure with my nieces.
We regularly bake around here. Eric is a master at it and we love to help eat, I mean, help make the treats!
The boys have their list of chores to do on cleaning day but wanted to earn extra spending money to spend on our California trip to Legoland. They did a fine job washing the car (among many other fun jobs) & had a HUGE water fight afterwards!!
Ammon found this frog a few times this summer. He became our pet frog that we knew we could count on finding under the back porch almost every day at dusk.
Eric got quite a work out with these cute weights attached to his legs.
Asher and Michael LOVE wearing hats.
I caught Asher in the Mickey Mouse hat blowing bubbles on the front porch.
SO cute!!
Asher was SOOOOooooo excited that we were getting a lawn in because that only meant one thing to him: SPRINKLERS!!! Michael & Asher were both so entranced by the machines they were using to break up the rocks in our yard to lay the sod. They watched the whole process. We had to bribe them to come in for breakfast! (notice Asher's lil tool belt- he wanted to help SO bad!!)
One day when the boys'
cousin, Kaleb, was visiting he brought his bike and Eric took the big boys (while the little ones napped) on a biking adventure! They biked all the way to the river. Because it was a super hot day, they all decided to jump in! Eric challenged the boys to whoever could bike home first would win $1! Aaron left everyone in the dust!! We had ice cream when they got back...
Asher's always asking Eric to "make a cup with your hands!" when he's thirsty.
He's always inventing new things with toys too. This latest beauty is called "a light" fashioned out of a paper lantern he found lying around and their inflatable baseball bats.
Michael and Asher LOVE building forts in the living room, bedroom, basement...wherever they find mysterious and fun at the moment! If you can't find those two, chances are their shuttling through space or fighting off monsters in their latest lil' cave.
