Jam Packed Summer Fun

Yes we really still are alive (some days just barely)! Since May we have had a million things going on, so this will just be an abbreviated run down with a million pictures.

MAY:

3 ish months old


The boys' first father/son camp out

We got to attend the wedding of one of Target Man's coworkers
JUNE:
During a trip to my parents, to visit the temple, I was up all night (for the fourth time) with excruciating gall bladder pain. This time I actually made an appointment with my cruddy doctor and on June 24th, I became gallbladder free! Thanks to my Mom and Mother-in-Law for coming to take care of me and my family. Other things in June included celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, where we were actually together on our anniversary for the first time since 2005.

JULY:
The kiddos and I went to Washington, DC for the 4th and met my parents, grandparents, and sister, but I don't have any pics, they are all at mom's house. Target Man and I also, escaped with just Target Girl and went to NYC for 5 days.

The awesome Mai Tei I made



New York Trip

AUGUST:

Hungry Hippo training begins early in our family

Our Second trip to the Monster Truck show
(Target Baby was sick, but still had some fun)



Target Boy's own artistic picture of his favorite truck

Can you see the excitement?













Target Baby thought it was loud, that is still his description 2 weeks later

Okay if you look closely you can see the end of the police smack down that took place in front of us. I totally missed the fire breathing, car eating dinosaur cause I was watching a guy resisting arrest, and the five men it took to get him down. Mace was used and to add to the excitement a lady next to us got up and was screaming, "Get that white trash out of here." Talk about a classy event! (By the way, no I did not take this picture, Target Boy had the camera)

Again, Target Boy documented the classy people that came late, sandwiched themselves next to us, and felt it appropriate to later take over half our blanket without ever speaking to us. We really had so much fun, will be back again next year, and will still feel totally out of place because Target Man chooses to wear a shirt and our boys don't have faux hawks or mullets!

Waiting for the parking lot to clear before we drove home. Seriously, the monster truck show brings out the largest crowd I have seen in our small town.
Wilmington, NC pictures



a little guitar with the badminton raquet







Attacking Granddaddy, I think they have him cornered









How do you keep a 6 month old rolling, nearly crawling baby sand free? Anyone...?





Carolina Beach Boardwalk

6 months







the ride guys were awesome and let the boys do this so many more times than they were supposed to



HOT NOW-oh how I miss you...












Okay, that wraps up our summer so far, minus Target Man's soccer season, but that will never make it up. So, just know, there were soccer games, he didn't do major damage to any body parts this year, which means a successful season. Till next time...
