Jubilant June {2018} - Part II

And here is the much anticipated (yeah right!) second half/finale of our June happenings:

We do like going to Tijuana Flats, a cool Tex Mex restaurant, on Sundays for kids' eat free.  It was also Father's Day, and we enjoyed some yummy cookie dough stuffed flautas with chocolate dipping sauce for dessert.  Yum!

We even let Daddy indulge in a beer.  Later, he fed the babies some doughnuts because he is the best daddy ever! 

The babies like to hide under the bassinet that still resides in our room.  Yes, it has been well over a year since a baby has slept in it.  Haha! 

We visited Forsyth Park in Savannah to enjoy some more splash pad fun. 

The big boys loved the big spouts of water while Mattox enjoyed hiding under this ledge. 

Grayson still enjoys any water he can get into. 

We enjoyed a little picnic lunch under the shade of this pavilion. 

Grayson was very thirsty.  That baby loves to drink! 

Yay for water! 

Then, the boys headed over to the playground to play.  They let me take a few pictures of them all together on this big bench swing glider thing.  

And on the big saucer swing.  Grayson preferred to have it all to himself though. 

Yay for a merry-go-round.  My boys love them! 

Breakfast smoothies and naps on Mommy's bed were also enjoyed this month. 

Another day at the beach. 

Mommy plays with them too.  It isn't all daddy. 

Lots more boogie boarding.  Brody chose this cool artsy board. 

Grandma enjoyed spending a day at the beach with them. 

Daddy and Mommy celebrated their 15th anniversary. 

Evan headed off to another week of summer camp.  He loves it! 

Evan and his church buddies had a blast. 

And I love the way this experience allows him to grow spiritually as the boys pray for one another at the altar during their church services and participate in worship together. 

Evan enjoyed his cardiology visit and also enjoyed going to the movies with some of his best school and neighborhood pals. 

Brody enjoys his church activities too. 

The boys helped celebrate Cocoa's 4th birthday. 

Sweet little stinker.  He loves sweets and can fall asleep anywhere. 

More breakfast smoothies and homemade coffee cake. 

Daddy and I snuck away to a movie to see the new Jurassic World. 

Sweet baby is always ready to eat. 

I went to pick Evan up from summer camp, and we stopped for lunch at McDonald's.  Sigh.  He enjoyed a McFlurry.  Daddy made a yummy poundcake for Mattie's birthday cake. 

The movie Problem Child came on, and I remembered that my husband looked just like the kid in the movie.  I had to do a comparison to prove it.  Haha!  Same sly smile and all. 

Hmmm, I apparently connect most with intellectuals and am a bit too serious and obsessive sometimes.  Haha!  I am also going to make the best grandma apparently.  I can't wait!  I will spoil them rotten and send them home to drive their parents crazy!  I just thought the minion meme was funny.  Apparently, I should have been named Francis Polebean.  Funny, I grew up in the south and never knew anyone named this.  Ha! 

Marvelous May {2018}

I don't know how marvelous May actually was, but I think we managed to have a little fun and make some memories along the way.  Watching these babies grow up is marvelous to me!

Grayson was really enjoying playing like a big boy and joining in big brother's crazy games.  I think they were pretending the exersaucer was some kind of ship. 

Waiting for Chick-fil-a and eating breakfast with Daddy. 

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo. 

Mommy taught the church preschool class a lesson on Joseph and his brothers.  We designed our own coats of many colors. 

Daddy assisted Brody in getting his last Tiger awards in Cub Scouts.  The boys enjoyed our neighbors' wet and wild party. 

Grayson did manage to get soaked in this little sprinkler toy. 

Cuddling on the couch is one of our favorite pasttimes.  Mattox the little engineer rigged a way to help break Cocoa out of her room.  Ha! 

We enjoyed watching Lady and the Tramp together, and Grayson played his piano for us. 

Dress up play is always a hit.  Grayson makes a very cute cowboy. 

Uh oh, they found big brother's guns.  

Showing off their new tats.  They love getting tattoos when we eat at Tijuana Flats. 

No, they aren't bathing.  They just like playing in the tub.  Mattox pretends the baby bathtub is a little boat. 

Learning to build blanket forts.  

The chef is in.  

Serving drinks together. 

Sometimes you have to drive-thru and eat because you are so busy. Police duties, you know. 

A little Chick-fil-a fun. 

Meeting daddy for lunch is always a treat. 

My silly boys.  

A crazy full car and dining al fresco on a nice Spring day. 

Yummy onion rings for me and ice cream for the boys. 

These boys enjoying being outside. 

Yikes, when you're shopping at Hobby Lobby and run into some crazy looking alien creatures.  They were nice and let me take their picture.  Ha!  Grocery shopping with four kids is always a blast.  

Cinnamon rolls for breakfast and some special treats for the kids' teachers at the end of the year. We made them some monogrammed planters and added some chocolates and refreshing lemonade. 

This little guy was loving having this tub full of bubbles all to himself. 

A new little hydrangea plant full of blooms in our yard and some selfies with the boys. 

These boys enjoy watching it rain. 

They love to help clean the house. 

Eating at our favorite pizza buffet on the last day of school. 

Then, we kicked off summer at the pool. 

Watching Evan swim like a fish.  He really perfected his diving skills too. 

Grayson enjoyed helping Daddy drive home from the pool in our neighborhood. 

Mattox hanging out with big brother Brody playing video games until he fell asleep.  Brody watching Evan play a computer game. 

Grayson does love a ball! 

Sweet boys waking up to start the day. 

A tickle fest.  Awesome big brother can tickle two at once. 

Fun day at Jekyll Island. 

Brody made me take a picture of his collage art from Chick-fil-a.  Then, he enjoyed a fun day at church to kick off summer. 

Some wet and wild fun. 

Brody loves the waterslides while little brother just watches the action. 

Big brother Evan tries to get Mattox to enjoy the jumpy house. 

And going down the smaller water slide.  Yeah, that worked. 

Brody really loved the pool of water at the bottom. 

Evan's faces do not show how much he really enjoys the slides.  

These boys just enjoyed the playground. 

Starting to fix lunch again for all the boys home for summer.  They enjoyed chicken nuggets and mac and cheese while I had a bbq sandwich and salad. 

We often have to sit in the car during big brother's soccer practices.  It gives Grayson some driving practice. 

Brody got a new trophy for playing baseball again. Yes, it is still just a participation trophy, but he is not ready for competitive games yet. 

Mommy and Daddy reinstated chorizo taco night which goes well with margaritas.  The boys enjoyed some homemade popsicles. 

Mommy's pretty babies. 

Hanging out together on the couch. 

A choo choo ride for two. 

More cooking for Mommy.  Yes, sometimes they like to bring the mess into the living room. 

I guess I could see myself as Queen Elinor from Brave.  Good to know we are true soulmates accoring to a little facebook quiz.  Ha! 

I just thought this verse spoke to me at the moment.  It was from a scripture series on hope, and I do think it is important to give God the glory for our hope.  

I liked this amended bucket list showing what is really important to achieve.  And just for kicks I kept doing this little facebook generator app that gave me some pretty funny and accurate descriptions.  Haha!
