Sweet summertime...

Summer has been wonderful for us! My boys love anything outside, especially if it involves water.

Last week, we went to the sprinkler park here in Collierville with Ashley and Ella. It was SO MUCH FUN! Ashley, thanks for sharing the pictures with me! We can't wait to go again... this time, let's take a picnic and our husbands :)!

Ella and Carter... she is so loving to him!

Will and Ella... these two ran alllll over the place and had a ball! Thanks Ms. Ashley for the popsickle... and yes, he would not hold it with the stick; my strong willed child!

He was headed for the lake, no doubt. I chased him and chased him and even broke my flip flop!

Ella and Carter again... I love my Carter bug's curly hair and Ella's precious bathing suit!

I expected Carter to be more afraid, but he walked around like a pro!
The day after the sprinkler park, Eddie, my dad and Eddie's dad put up this playard/swing set for the boys. Eddie said it would have been easier building a house :)... it took 60 hours!!! BUT, it was worth it... my kiddos LOVE it! We are outside every afternoon playing on it!


This was too cute not to share... could anyone else just suck his little cheeks off??? He was a sweet boy while everyone worked.
The boys having a ball on it for the first time
My little monkey, Will :)!
Eddie has to work A LOT right now, so when he is home, the boys are all over him. He gave Will a little ride on his shoudlers. Will is saying "cheese" in this picture!
The 4th was pretty low key... Eddie had to work, of course, so the boys and I went to Booneville for a little family time. We hung out at the pool on Sunday. I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures, since I was in the pool the majority of the time, but Will was SO brave this time. He loves to jump off the side and actually liked wearing floaties. I hope he is a little fish by the end of the summer.
He also loves that his nana has a kiddie pool for him. Again, he said "cheese" :).
My beautiful niece, Perry Katherine, and Carter
This was at my mom's front door... sorry for the handprints mom :)! Isn't he a doll?!?!?
This isn't the best of me, but I LOVE Carter in this picture. Happy 4th!
Will was passed out in the car during supper. We checked on him every 5 minutes, but didn't wake him up b/c he was EXHAUSTED and he and Carter slept the whole way home for me, which was relaxing! He was starving when we go home...
Annnnnd, I had an awesome day today with my guys. We swam and played outside all day. I wish I had EVERY Monday off from work :).
Here are a few pictures of my handsome guys:
"CHEESE".... Love it!
Life is tough...
My sneaky little Will... when he is bad, this is how he looks at me!


Have a great week everyone!
