Driving Range

Last Saturday the weather was beautiful, so we tried to think of things to do outside... we decided to give the driving range a try. It was Matt & Nolan's first time going there and they thoroughly enjoyed it! Phil hit a few, and even I hit 2 (it was not pretty - but I'll throw a picture in for humor's sake.)

Take Down!

Phil, Matt & Nolan were "playing football" a couple weeks ago - Matt was the QB, Phil was the (stationary) receiver and Nolan was the pass rusher. It looked a little something like this...

Nolan's Party

So, here are a few pictures from the chaos (12 kids) that was Nolan's birthday party - we decided to take advantage of our large yard, the warm weather & children's general love of anything involving water & had a back yard water party! Good times...

Count 'em! Not one, but two crazy sprinklers!

An obstacle course, complete with inner tubes...

Over 150 water balloons!

Nolan's boat cake (he picked it himself... "I'm having a water party, so a boat would be good.")

He got spoiled with many thoughtful & wonderful gifts! Thanks everyone!

I don't know - but it looks like he may have had a good time.

Afterwards we asked him if he had a good time - "Yeah, pretty good."

Sigh, I guess that's better than No, it was terrible...

Yep...

He's

Happy Birthday Nolie Bug!

We love you forever!

I'm Totally Making Some!

Thanks Jamey for sharing!

Which One?

My amazing Mamasan (aka mother-in-law, I love her too much to call her something with such a negative conotation... so she's Mamasan...) is a doer. She read my blog about bumper pads and called within a few days saying she had purchased this pattern...

Today she went in search of fabric (since she lives in Cali - surf/beach stuff is a little more readily available). Then my wonderful Papasan (yes, that would be aka father-in-law...see previous reasoning for name) took, and e-mailed, pictures of the ones they found and thought I might like.

Have I ever mentioned how I SCORED in the thoughtful & loving in-law department? (Love you Mamasan & Papasan!!!)

Anyway...
These are my 2 favorites, but I can't decide which one.
