Summer Fun

 We have been having lots of fun this summer. Of course we took Jack to the zoo and he loved it. He liked seeing the elephants but he really liked the birds. We were able to get really close to some of the birds and he really got excited.

We also got to pet the goats. He really liked brushing their hair. He just ran from goat to goat brushing their hair.


 He was really interested in this black goat that was sitting by itself in the shade. He kept going over to it and trying to brush its hair.
  He was also the only kid who tried several times to climb in with the goats.

 We did stop by the playground and played. Jack loved the swings and this cool tunnel he could climb in.

 No summer is complete without a plastic pool. Jack was very excited about splashing the water. However, he really wanted someone to get in the pool with him.

 So.......I got in the pool with him and he was very excited. He has also been a big helper in the kitchen. He really likes to lick the spoons and taste everything.

Summer is here

 I made this gift for a girl that I work with. She is a Tennessee fan and asked for a Smokey the dog hat. I had to make the pattern myself because I was unable to find one. The diaper cover turned out really cute with the dog tail on it.

Brent found a lady bug outside and tried to get Jack to play with it. Jack just watched the bug but did not want to touch it.

 School is finally out!!! It is nice to be out but I do miss the kids. Our music teacher did a wonderful job with the end of the year performance. Jack is going to a daycare this summer and Brent made sure he looked really nice for his first day.

 So like I said school was officially out as of Tuesday, June 4th.....however I only had Wednesday off before I had to go to training on Thursday. It just does not seem like summer when you have to go to work at least once a week.

I really wanted to do some redecorating/painting this summer. So I started working on our bedroom on Tuesday and got finished on Friday. I painted, changed the curtains, and put up some new art. I still have to paint the ceiling. (The before picture is not very clear.)
