Recent videos from our summer

My wonderful SIL inspired me to buy a Slip-n-slide for our family. And all I can say for the performance of my children is that in other areas of life they TRULY excel. Prowess on the Slip-n-slide though seems to be a bit lacking:



And finally tonight we had our bunk beds delivered and installed. Here's the kiddos headed to the top bunk for the first time...



And finally this is just a fun little clip from a family owned and operated ice creamery here in our neighborhood. They send a free ice cream coupon in the month of your birthday and since June is Jack's birthday we went on the 30th to redeem our treasure. The place is called Moo Hive Honey Ice Cream and in the bathroom is a glow in the dark bee hive with sound effects. As you can imagine, it is the kids favorite part.



And just as good as that is eating your "Fire Ant" ice cream and getting to make faces at yourself! Notice the princess all dressed up in her lime green boa.

The bathroom is pretty cool. That's a neat ice cream place.

Fun in the Wilson backyard! If only they had hills in Texas. Think of the possibilities! ;-D

Cool bunk bed too. Can't say I've ever seen one with steps before.

Michael, aren't you glad you missed all of that! :)

Debby, it's a REQUIREMENT to go the bathroom (whether you need to go or not) when we visit that place. Makes me laugh!

Greg, the funny part was that I was TRYING desperately to figure out where to place the slide so they could get on the downslope, as our backyard is a hilly mess. But obviously it wasn't a lot of help! :)

And we specifically chose those drawer bunks because we have soo little bedroom closet space.

Tell Michael you can nest if you want to!!

So how was it decided who go the top bunk and who got the bottom?? Cause everyone knows the top bunk is cooler...:-)

OH, MY GOODNESS--I'm afraid that I would end up SWATTING THE AIR in the 'Bee Hive' BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's NEAT that the kids like it!!

I think they did AMAZINGLY WELL on their FIRST SnL EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!
SPEED is the 'answer', that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--IF you tummy & knees can 'stand' it--haha!!!!!!

GOOD THING you had a GREAT 'excuse' NOT to TRY IT OUT!!!

I just LOVE your new BUNK BEDS!!!!!
Esp. with the DRAWER STEPS--I've NOT seen one like it, but it SEEMS SO MUCH SAFER for the kiddos to CLIMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, once the kiddos get bigger--isn't it the BOTTOM bunk that everyone wants?????!!!!!!!!! That's how I remember it, anyway.

With that bed bought & put together & SHEETS on it & your Baby Crib also TOGETHER, I'd say your NESTING 'phase' is ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel FREE to WAIT until after August 22nd, though, when we'll be BACK HOME--so, I can FLY DOWN & see/be with BABY LUKE & ya'll!!!!!

BUT, of course, having BEEN IN your 'place' before--you have him AS SOON AS YOU WANT TO/FEEL LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As in Jack's OWN words: "LUKE'S COMING, LUKE'S COMING"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH, and tell Jack THANK YOU SO MUCH for his written THANK YOU card we got--I didn't know HE could WRITE his WHOLE NAME--HOW VERY NEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a KEEPER, for sure!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE & MISS YA'LL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mom
