Monster Trucks

Monster Trucks are coming to the fairgrounds this year.  To advertise the event, they have parked monster trucks around town.  On our way home, they had just parked one at the Maverick near our house.  I love to over document my children's lives with pictures, so of course I pulled over and took their pictures with the truck.  I'm so grateful I had my smaller camera in my purse and didn't have to rely on my phone's camera.

Summer Time!!

Summer time is here and in full swing!  I love having Tyler home from school. He is amazing and so much fun to be around.  He loves to make up his own jokes and says the most funny things to get us to laugh!

To start off the summer, I stained the deck, scraped, sanded, and repainted the outside doors and their frames.  Those jobs started off simple and then I would add another door, or frame, so it ended up taking all day.  The inside of my house got completely neglected for a few days but I was too exhausted to care too much about it.

Swimming lessons started the second week of summer.  Tyler is learning how to dive into the pool and also to flip under water to lap swim.  He has done so well and improves each lesson.  One belly flop last week injured his neck and he ended up with a stiff neck that took him out for a few days.  Today, (Monday, June 17) was his first day back and he didn't miss a beat.  Maleina is learned how to float quickly so the instructor is now starting her on proper kicking techniques.  Both kids are little fish in the water.  They never tire of going to the pool and beg us for a bigger pool out back daily.

Last week ended with a trip to the Dinosaur Museum.  Tyler invited his good friend to come with us and we met my sister in law, Emily, and her children, Braxton and Natalia, at the park.  The kids had so much fun seeing all the dinosaurs and posing for some fun pictures.  A few highlights they enjoyed were digging for dinosaur bones, mining for gold, and seeing the robotic dinosaurs they have inside the museum.

How they measured up to the dinosaur prints.

 I love their faces!!

 Maleina loved the baby dinosaurs.

 Mining for gold!

 Digging for bones!

 Again, I love their faces!
