Fun in the warm....wait cold.....wait warm weather

So, the weather here has been totally crazy!!! Hot one day, then cold the next! The boys were playing on the slip n' slide a few days ago.....and then it SNOWED yesterday! So really crazy weather. Once it started to get warm, the boys got accustomed to a certain degree of outdoor fun, and they are not letting the weather change that at all.

RIDING BIKES

Boys are still riding their bikes a lot, Skyler especially! Sometimes he scares me with the turns he does. Anyway, I thought his look was priceless here. Think he is giving any indication of a future profession?


CAMP OUT
Once it was warm enough, David set up the tent in the back yard for a camp out. The boys had so much fan, and can't wait to do it again. They keep asking, but it just hasn't worked out again yet. David says maybe next time he will actually make it all night....Last time David couldn't fall asleep, so we brought the boys in.


BASKETBALL
We got the small hoop for the boys, but didn't really have good basketballs for the boys. Well, David surprised them each with a small ball of their own. Seriously, they can stay out there for HOURS playing basketball. David and I have even enjoyed it.....I totally took him at a game of PIG (we won't mention the plenty of other times that he totally killed me at those games).

KITES
I took the boys to Dollar Tree to pick out a birthday present for David. They each picked something out, but we saw the kites as well, and couldn't resist! We had a little wind (at the same time as the snow) and had to test them out. The boys are doing pretty well! SIDE NOTE: Connor wore those silly PJs ALL day that day....even when we went out for the day.

SKYLER IS A BIG BOY
Skyler is SO in to being a big boy, and eating so he can be a big boy like daddy. Or that he gets to lock the bathroom door when he is big like Papa. Anyway, it is SO funny to hear him talk about being BIG. Well right here he was showing us how big his belly is.

NEW SUITS

Couldn't resist getting these for the boys when we saw them at Costco for a reasonable price. They look SO handsome!

Duckie Drop

About last October, David and I FINALLY bit the bullet and decided to join the Washington City Community Center. They were having a good deal if you paid for a full year. We decided it would be worth it since the have a workout facility, pool, classes and daycare. Now that the boys are 3 and we actually have to pay for them when we go to the pool, we figured with as much as we go swimming it would be worth it. So, anyway, we have been and are continuing to REALLY enjoy the facility.

On March 28, 2011 they had something called the Duckie Drop Basically, the kids wade in the pool, and the HUGE bucket at the top of the playground thing drops a bunch of rubber duckies. The kids each get a duckie with a number on the bottom with a prize based on the number.

The pool was PACKED. And there was a special appearance by THE RED ROBIN!!! Which, Red Robbin happens to be one of the kids FAVORITE places to eat. I think it has to do with the balloon they get when we leave! Regardless, they were SO excited to see him there, but a little hesitant to go say hi...it took them a while to warm up, but they did....and got a free kids meal!



I think this pic is funny because David is trying to suck in his belly, and Connor is just looking at him like...."WHAT are you doing?"
