How to Fold a Shirt

I'm pretty sure she's making fun of us in her commentary.

I will try this when I get home. Or some time this weekend

I'm Yours



I love this song.

Summer Fun!

I start your June update on July 1st. July 1st is the first day of National Ice Cream Month, which my friend, Claudia, at highlowaha.com is currently writing about. We took this first picture tonight to send to her. We went to Tom Thumb and bought the appropriate ice cream scoop. Our second purchase because I originally purchased the old timey kind with the thumb button. Then, I went to Claudia's last week and the ice cream professional set me straight.






The boys started the month of June on vacation with Andy, Sr. & Jane. Drew and JB flew by themselves for the first time from Dallas to New Orleans. The O'Prys picked them up and they drove to Gulf Shores. They had a great time.


Drew lost a tooth while he was gone. The Monday after they returned, JB had his regular front baby tooth along with his extra baby shark teeth extracted at Dr. Ellis' office. It was quick and he did great. He was up and going by the middle of the afternoon. Later that week, Drew is playing in the playroom and oops! Out came another tooth. And then this past week, he pulled his other front tooth! The tooth fairy has been one busy fairy around here. They have twin gaps now.




We are certainly enjoying the summer. I have decided my next years bonus money (if I'm so lucky to receive one) is going towards a sprinkler system! I have an awkward corner lot so it takes a lot of watering/moving/watering to get it all done. I have another story about my front door but I'll save that for another entry. Drew and JB have a great time running through the sprinklers.




Many of our Friday nights are spent at the local McDonald's where we meet up with some of our friends from Children's Courtyard. This past Friday we had a slight change and some of us came to the house for McSwim! The kids had a great time splashing around, eating snow cones and the McMoms got to have yummy margaritas instead of Big Macs!




My favorite spot in the pool is pictured below. I am so glad the we got a house with a pool. It's nice to be able to wake up, throw on our bathing suits and swim. The boys have a great time and I enjoy it both when they are here and also when I have the pool all to myself! I am perfectly happy with becoming old and wrinkly in my old age!



30 more days until our Wimberley vacation! Yay! We can't wait. We're starting to gather items that we want to take.

What I Made with My 20 Year Old Paper


This fish were magnets. The flowers was one big magnet. The shark is a prelude to our summer shark party coming up this summer.

Color-aid Paper


Really cool paper that I have been packing around for the last 20 years.
Mine is slightly curved up on the short sides.

Cars
















Does the picture remind anyone else of my first car? It's the Chevrolet Sprint Plus, right? Nope. It's the Chevrolet Aveo 5! And, I'm actually thinking this may be my next car due to the gas prices I'm going to be paying by the end of summer.

Okay. It's just too darn similar! Will it make me feel like I'm in high school again? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

If I can find an actual photo of my old car, I will add it to this post.

Energy Drink Commerical

This is too funny!

JB- King or Astronaut?

I'm either raising a future king or a future astronaut.


Either way, he has loved his Kindergarten teacher this year, Kasey Pounds.

During teacher appreciation week, he gave her a diet Coke on movie day.

He made the note all by himself.
