Summer Fun in the Sun!

     Our summer is off to a great start!  We have been busy to say the least!  I LOVE being busy when I'm at home with the boys.  I LOVE being home with the boys! :) 
    Jak's t-ball (or baseball...Jak won't let you call it t-ball) started and it is a blast to watch him!  He is so athletic! :)  If he doesn't have a baseball game, he is creating a baseball, golf, football, or soccer game up in his head.  He always has "something" to practice or play for!
    We go to the pool as many days as we possibly can.  Jak swims in the deep end all by himself!  It's a little scary, but he does so well!  He like to brag that he swims in the deep end by 7 feet!  hahaha  This is a big deal! :)  Frankie is a fishy, too!  They both LOVE the water!  Frank jumps off the edge by the 2 feet all by himself and he also things he is big stuff!  I have to really watch him, though!  He is not afraid!
     Jak is also taking tennis lessons this summer. He has fun with them and it's another way for him to get together with some kids his age.  I do believe Frank is his best friend, but it's nice to play with someone who can keep up sometimes :) 
     Nick and I took our first vacation without the boys!  It was SO SUPER nice!  We really had a great time, but missed the boys!  We both commented how nice it was to get up when we wanted to (even though we couldn't sleep in past 7:30), go out for every meal, and not feel guilty for staying up late.  Our hotel was fabulous!  We could see the ocean even from the bathroom.  It was so wonderful and just beautiful!  We ate at some pretty amazing restaurants.  There was only one night that we had dinner off the water.  We loved the beach front and waterway restaurants!  I'm glad we went, but I'm happy to be "mommy" again! :)
     The boys had a blast with my parents while we were gone!  They had their own mini vacation of their own!  They visited a chicken farm, went to the zoo, went to several different parks, got to go out to eat and out for ice cream, and they got to sleep in a TENT!!!  This was their favorite part! :)  It was inside my parents living room.  They weren't roughing it very much!  They each had their own mattress to sleep on :)  They had so much fun and I am so grateful! :)
     We have played several holes of golf, taken bike rides, had some park visits, picnics, and stay home days!  This summer is off to a great start!  Looking back at all we have done already and do every day, it's no wonder I'm tired :). 
     Here's to summer...! :)

"All About Me" by Jak Chaney

Jak brought home a book today from nursery school that was the neatest thing EVER!  He couldn't hardly wait to show me the book when I picked him up today then was very impatient and excited to show grandma when we got home!  He is so cute and so talented...pretty biased, I know! :)  Here is a snapshot of the book!  I took some pics of the drawings, but will write out some of his answers to the questions because they are cute!  Here's "All About Me" by Jak Chaney:

Jak 3 1/2 months

My handsome 4 1/2 year old! 

I LOVE this picture more than you will ever know...even though I seem to be
doing some strange gymnastics move!  He was so very proud to show this to me today! :)  I love it!

I do believe Jak has a gift in drawing/art.  I promise my dogs would not look this good if I tried!

Our Family Tree...minus Easton and Austin.  I'm really not sure why they are on there! LOL!  They go
to Jak's daycare, I guess.  (Family, remember Jak's teacher had to guess how to spell names)

 Here are some of the questions and answers:

My favorite food is macaroni.
My favorite color is red.
My favorite movie or TV show is Jungle Junction (TV) and Cars 2 (movie).
My favorite toy at home is Frank's Lego Duplo (this is before Christmas when he got his own :)
My favorite things to play with at school is the cars, the kitchen.
My favorite thing to do at school other than playing is story time.
Some of my friends are Cameron and Caleb.
Something my family and I do together that I really like is go bowling, stay home all day and play outside, and watch movies.
Something I do at home to help my mom and dad is help clean the kitchen floor, pick up my toys.
I am happy when I paint, going to Pizza Hut.
Every once in a while I am sad or mad when Frank hurts me (scratches my face).
When I grow up I might want to be a pilot and fly a plane.


This book made my day!  I just had to share!!!! :)
