ah ha ha ha ha... ah ha ha ha ha... Wait, its not funny

So last night it was hot in here.... I mean HOT, ok we keep our thermostat set at 69 to 68, so last night when it was going from 70 up to 74 we took at look at our AC, which wasn't running, Kyle went to switch the breaker back and still nothing, we sat in the heat from like 5 till about 1045 at which time it was about 85 in here! We were getting ready for a miserable night when I decided to look online for troubleshooting, I found an awesome website, well it didn't help, although I did suggest to Kyle that he should go try the breaker again, Well it WORKED! All we had to do was try the breaker and we could have had a nice cool evening, instead we sat out here with our box fan trying our hardest to keep cool and not succeeding!!! Well I am freezing right now and have a blanket on so thats nice....

Whats Up Jacks??

So I feel like Jackson has just been growing up before my eyes. I feel like out of the 6 months I have lost over 3 of them and I have no clue what happen with them! Anyway, so I wanted to post what the little guy has been up to! He of course is such a sweet wonderful boy who was given to us in perfect order. He is so patient with us having to do everything for not only him but for two brothers as well, he is also so patient with them!! He has tried his first lemon... and made no face like at all! The crazy kid... this is what we got!
He always gets so mad when the boys get their drinks and he doesn't so he has had his first tippy cup
He has had his first swim in a pool...
And ended up in the swing to hang out and watch all of us!!
He has been eating his first foods! (This is at 5 months with squash)
He has been learning to sit and does pretty good when not excited, although he feels he needs to crawl first and spends a good deal of time on his hands and knees trying to do so!!
He has been getting in some good snoozing...
And just being plan cute!!
I feel like this post was very to the point, well it was, we just got back camping and now that everyone is up from their naps I need to get up and start to unpack and get dinner ready! That is why all of these posts have been just enough info to get the pictures on here :)

What else we have been up to!!

We have had a pretty fun summer so far, after the t-ball and initial camping trip we have been hanging out playing in the sun, having BBQs, and playing with water balloons:

We have also took advantage of the movie in the park that they do, a modern drive in movie so to speak! It really was fun to just go grab some sandwiches play at the park and hang out till the movie starts, than to get to sit back and watch the movie with the kids, one of those things you hope the kids will remember when they grow up!! They had the music blaring and all of us where dancing truly was one of those moments you just love!!
Gannon decided instead of watching the movie he would play with my hair!
Gannon refused to be in this picture with them!! Kyle is growling at me... Ok, not really...
Than we had my moms birthday party,the boys played in the pool with cousin Ashlyn...
So while we were getting ready to go to the party and I was wrapping my moms present the boys went and grabbed some of their toys and asked to wrap them for my mom. I love that they are at that stage and it is such a sweet thing that they did!!

We were also able to go to the Meridian Dairy Days parade which was really fun, we found out while there that when Jackson is scared of something he sits and yells at it! Funny, Funny boy!!

T-Ball Come and Gone!!!

So we signed the boys up for t-ball this year, because of how their birthday's fell they were able to get them on the same team which was nice. It all started on May 22nd with practice and then we had 2 games every week but 1 and a practice every week, I swear all we did the month of June was t-ball, it was really hard getting ourselves motivated to do all of it but it was worth every second of it!! Here they are getting ready for their first game!!
The games were pretty good, although the kids lost interest a lot, they were really cute doing their warm ups:
And so sweet and cute on the sideline!
Everyone game to the games, we were never on the sideline alone and I thank all of you so much for the support! We even had people come all the way from Georgia just to see the boys (not really, but thanks Bob and Val for making that pit stop!!)
And while they were learning and doing good out on the field fielding the ball and batting, they also let us enjoy such antics as Gannon eating the grass and offering it to other, taking off the helmets and sitting in them, Braxten trying to take off all the other players helmets and getting upset when they called him mean, both of them constantly sitting in the field, and of course Gannon turning his back to the players and talking to the coaches in the field about such things as why they are wearing shoes, where they got them and if they liked them, Gannon running to second base every time he hit the ball and Braxten WALKING to every base very, very slowly! Funny kids!! It truly was a blast, an exhausting blast that as soon as it was over I went really? that's it and teared up a little! I can't wait for the next thing which looks like soccer for Gannon because I didn't realize they already needed to be signed up for football or Braxten would be doing that!! So here are a bunch of pictures of the boys in action!
Gannon:
Braxten:

Kyle was the best dad ever and was of course out there helping the whole time being the perfect assistant coach!! At the end of the games they would slap hands, I guess for some reason I thought this would be natural, but apparently its hard to teach 3 & 4 year olds and it was very entertaining! Here they are attempting it, by the end of the season like everything else they knew exactly what to do!

Memorial Day Weekend!

Ok, So I know this is a little old, but I still want to post about memorial Day weekend, Which, just as a warning I am going to post all the pictures because while I like the slide shows I don't know how that is going to look once I get this printed out, so there is going to be a major picture overload!!! So the day after Braxten's birthday we headed up to Three Island state Park, I can't remember where that is so I wont even try! It was a nice park for the last minute and we had a blast, but it was kind of like camping in your backyard, although it was wonderful for Jackson's first camping trip. The night that we got there we sent my mom away with Braxten and Gannon and we set up a birthday party for Braxten and we all celebrated his birthday with him again!
There was a really nice area there to play in so we practiced some tball for the upcoming season...
Apparently we couldn't keep Gannon's attention while playing because while we were tossing around the ball this is what he did...
We were all laughing way too hard to help the little guy out! He is such a character!!! We relaxed and hiked the rest of the weekend....
On our way out hiking we asked the boys to stand by each other and put their arms around each other so we could get a cute picture of all of them... This is what we had to deal with, too bad they don't love each other huh :)
We also had a visitor from this guy
It really was a fun weekend and it was nice to remember it!! I will leave you with this:
