Summer So Far

Whew! We've had a busy summer so far! So busy that I haven't even blogged about our beach trip back at the first of June! This is Jonah and Noah showing off their shells!

Getting a little smile from them!

Our shadows. (not the pic I had hoped for)
Me, Noah, Bryan, and Jonah

Our footprints in the sand.

Noah boogie boarding! Jonah was so funny. While Noah was riding the waves,  Jonah would just play by himself and I would hear him talking away...and sometimes even singing!

Ok. I know you are probably wondering why I have this picture of my husband sneaking around in the bushes...well, one night the wind got horrible and it woke both of us up and we went out on the balcony to check things out. It was coming a bad storm, and the wind was SO BAD!! We could hardly walk against it! We just started throwing things in the living room..cushions, swimsuits, towels, etc. (I know all of you hang out these kinds of things when you're at the beach, right?) The next morning when we were getting ready to go to the beach, I couldn't find my swim bottoms (and don't let that freak you out..it's a tankini..not a bikini!) Anywho, I searched and searched...no bottoms. I came prepared, though, and just wore another swimsuit. We checked the parking lot, poolside, beach...no bottoms. So, that evening when we were coming in from eating (still daylight) I saw something laying on the ground at the other condo next to us. I told Bryan it looked like swim bottoms. So, he drove over and checked, and sure enough...MY BOTTOMS!!! Now this has happened before, on a different trip, only when we got out of our car, I saw Jonah's swim trunks on the ground. They too had blown away and we didn't even know it! Needless to say, I made sure everything was inside before we went to bed at night for the rest of the trip!

After coming home from the beach, some days we go to the lake to cool off...

And other days we go to Papa and Mema's pool. (yes there is an extra kid in this picture. it is John Paschal and he lives next to Mema and comes to play and swim with us some)
The Three Musketeers! 

Noah jamming out with his Subskate!

This is probably the only time I have got Jonah to wear his floaties! He thinks he is such a big man, and likes to swim without them! He really does well without them, though! Both of my boys are like fish! 

And just so you can see how the pool is coming along......this is what it looks like so far.

All of these blocks are for the retaining wall! I plan on dedicating one whole post to the "pool project" later.....if it ever gets finished! It seems like it's taking FOREVER!!! 

There you have it! Our summer so far!
