Park Hop

We've been having perfect weather this week! So instead of sitting at home and doing what we always do, the boys and I decided to go on a "Park Hop"!

Our first stop took us to this spot which is very similar to a park that we frequent quite often. The big difference being that they had these crawly and bouncy deals that both boys thought were tons of fun!

Max & Mommy even went down the big slide a few times! 

Jaxon wanted to take a "family picture" at the first stop... so here we are!

This became a fun game!

Max really enjoyed the sand... guess he wasn't full from his snack because he decided to taste it too!

Jaxon claims he was "digging to China"!

Our next stop took us to what we all decided was the more "fun" park of the two! This spot is unlike any other park we've been to w/ lots of shade and more choices of things to do! Once again the boys really enjoyed the bouncy rides that this park offered too... especially since one of them was a plane!

Here they are on the plane!

Max loved the baby swing selection!

We of course had to ride the cow swing! 

Jaxon really enjoyed to equipment here! There were lots of places to climb and slide!
Max of course loved tasting the tire bits!

Of course we have a lot of fun at home too! Here's Max in the sandbox at home!

We spent the rest of our day after our "Park Hop" at home in the sandbox,
enjoying what's left of the perfect weather!

And just like everywhere else, Max taste tested the sand in the sandbox! YUCK!!!

Summer Fun

As it turns out Summer hasn't been all that bad... as long as we stay busy that is! Here's what we've been up to the past 2 weeks!

Last weekend we took Max on his 1st trip to the Zoo Park. The boys & I decided that we need a few baby goats to add to our petting farm here at home!

Here is Daddy, Max & Jaxon going down the slide!

Later that weekend Jaxon requested that I cover him in sand... here is waiting to escape!

On Friday night our friends Becky & Anthony, or "the fun one" & the awesome one" as Jaxon likes to call them, came for a visit from Texas. Mommy, "Aunt" Becky & the boys spent lots of time doing what Mommy & the boys do everyday while Daddy & "Uncle" Anthony headed out to play golf. Becky even got to go to a birthday party w/ us and got to experience a playdate!

We spent lots of time building castles, playing in the sand pile, going for walks and even taking naps! Mommy needs "the fun one" to come more often! We all had a great time and hope after spending a few days around these lil' monsters that they'll come back again!

Thanks "Aunt" Becky for playing w/ us & thanks to "Uncle" Anthony for taking our Daddy on a playdate... he needed that!

Mother's Day the Motherhood Way

One of my favorite things about being a Mommy is watching my little ones eyes light up! To kick off our Mother's Day Weekend I surprised the boys w/ a trip to a new park in our neighborhood! And boy, oh boy did those little peepers twinkle!!!

Jaxon has been learning all about music at PreSchool for the past 2 weeks so this extra cool contraption was right up his alley. Using rubber mallets, kids can make beautiful music by striking the wooden and metal bars placed on this piece by a company called soundplay.com. Jaxon played me a special Mother's Day tune!

The park is split into 2 areas, one for kids ages 2-5 and the other ages 5-12. Jaxon enjoyed going back and forth from one area to the other. Both sides offer lots of cool things for kids to try. Jaxon was immediately drawn to this wooden B-17 airplane placed in the middle of a sand pile. He told me he'd sure like to have one of those in his sand pile at home!

And for a child who absolutely LOVES playing "McDonald's" this was a fave of the day! Jaxon spent lots of time inside this little playhouse taking my order!

Max gave the baby swings a test run but quickly decided he liked his car swing at Grandma's much better!

They both really enjoyed being able to swing here together! Mommy has decided we need one of these at home!

While playing we noticed a name we recognized etched on one of the fence posts inside the park! Before we left we decided to take a picture next to it to say a special thanks to our friend for helping to make this fun, new park possible for us to play in! Thanks Dylan!

Hope you all have a great Mother's Day!
