Vacatoin to Plymouth Massachusetts

We all know how much the boys love trains and especially Thomas the train so I found a theme park in Massachusetts that has a section called Thomas Land!!! The boys didn't know where we were going until we left to go. Of course if I'm heading to New England I had to call Paula and stop by their farm to visit! I'm so glad they were home because it was so nice to visit Glastonbury Connecticut again. The boys loved seeing all the animals and Jack, Kaleb, and I rode a horse for the 1st time! I'm so glad we get to see each other every once in a while!

 Josh even took the horse for a ride.

 William, Jack, Izzy, Lydia, and Kaleb refusing to look at the camera. What's new? lol

   After another 2 hours in the car we got to our hotel in Plymouth and played in the  pool then walked around at night. It was so beautiful there at sunset!

These are the shirts I made for the boys to wear to Thomasland! 

Augest 2016

We had all kinds of adventures in Aug! First Daddy came home from training in Las Vegas!

Josh and I have finally finished our scuba training and Jack had been begging us to let him try so we signed him up for the jr. scuba class on post and he loved it! Of course Kaleb didn't want anything to do with it.

 Kaleb did enjoy playing on the slide though :)

 

Josh is getting ready to deploy to Iraq in Sept so he wanted to take the kids TPing for their first time before he left and the Beauregard's were their victims! It was so funny watching Josh get the boys ready and teaching them what to do and how to get there without being noticed. 

Our favorite thing to do is hang out with the neighbors and let the kids ride dirt bikes and play! We have really gotten close with a lot of our neighbors this year! Josh says all the time that this is the first place we've lived that we are part of the community and he is absolutely right! We Love Harbor View! 

July 2016

July was uneventful. Josh went away again for training so we just hung out at home. The last week of the month we went to Ocean City Maryland for the weekend with the Meckley's. They have two condos down there on the ocean so we stayed in their extra one. It was so nice and we all had a ball!

 Kaleb and Kenny really are best buddies :)

 

 This is a page from Jack's journal :)

 Baby Maddi was born the end of July and the boys love her! 

June 2016

Shelby and I started out our month at home depot buying flowers! We both love to work outside in our yards. 

 

 This is one of the beds I did :)

Josh and I decided to get scuba qualified so we can start traveling together and doing something we both enjoy. Well, I was so excited to get to our first class I forgot my bathing suit! LOL

Here is a pic of me becaseu I don't make it on the blog very often :) 

Thank goodness our neighbors love us and invite us out on their boats with them so we can enjoy the awsomeness around us. This is what our Friday nights looked like a lot this summer! Alexa and Jack :)

During the hot summer days the boys played in our blow up pool out back. Kaleb is just like Gino, it can be 100 degrees and he is still freezing after he gets wet.

Josh made it back from training. On June 16 he had a work meeting in Stafford and called me because his truck wouldn't start. AGAIN! Same problem as the last 2 times. We called Chevy and they were sending a tow truck but it was taking forever. Well, the restaurant where his meeting was didn't have a lot of parking so he parked in that back of a bank's parking lot and their was a daycare right over the hill. Kaleb and I went down there to get him but the tow truck still wasn't there so we had to wait a couple more hours. That's when we got a visit from the local police telling us that the bank people called us in and said we were watching them and the daycare and they thought we were up to something! LOL it was so funny. Once we explained what was happening and he ran Josh's license he left.

 After that occurrence we were happy to go out and enjoy a Sat. on the boat with Justin and Liv!

 Happy Fathers Day to the best Dad I know!!

A few days later my mom and Carla brought Ethan down for a week. The boys loved having their cousin here and we had a lot of fun. We have season passes at pirates cove so those definitely came in handy!

We also found out that they were having a fun day at our library so I took them there so they could play and get some free books! The boys loved the obstacle course! Kaleb was so fast! The people running it couldn't believe how good he was doing considering how little he was.

Jack had his last awards ceremony for the year. He has loved kindergarten and is so excited for first grade! Miss Hogan has been amazing and I really hope Kaleb gets her next year!

 Last day of Kindergarten!

Shelby and I went and had lunch with them and took Kaleb and Kenny. I can't believe Kaleb is going to be in school in 2 and a half months! 

Alexa, Jack and Sophie!

Liviya's baby shower! We are so excited for baby Maddi to get here so I threw a shower and invited some girls from the neighborhood. I just love this place!
