Bubbles & Sand

  The kids love the bubble machine!  I love it because my idea of a bubble bath is not dunking a stick into bubble solution & blowing bubbles everywhere!!  I can just sit & enjoy their laughter & the fact they are totally wearing themselves out!  Those of you that know me know that I HATE DIRT!!  But I know that I am a Mom especially a Mom of 2 boys & dirt will become part of my everyday life!  I also know that a Sandbox is a must have!  Due to the heat, bugs, & animals sitting out in a sandbox in the backyard is NOT going to happen at my house!  So thanks to a great Magazine I found a great fix!  I got 2 bags of sand, dumped them in a container with wheels & called it a sandbox!  The kids love it & I love sitting in the covered garage watching them play!  Best of all I just simply lay down an old sheet, roll out the container of sand & let them go at it!  When they are done I put the lid on slide it to the side of the garage & pick up the sheet & shake out the spilled sand!  This

is how we spend some of our down time here in Texas!

Grandparents Visit

I was very fortunate to have my grandparent from Helena, MT come down for a visit!  It was so awesome to have a piece of home here in Texas!  We kept them busy with reading, playing, fishing, & touring!  It was so awesome seeing my grandpa who helped me fish showing my kids how to do the same thing!  The kids loved the lake & most of all loved “fishing”!  They ask everyday when we get to go again!  My grandparents brought with them an airplane shelf for Holden similar to the one they made Sawyer.  The boys are now set for a room together!!  We also were able to take them to San Antonio & give them the tour!  We saw the Alamo, the Riverwalk, lots of people, & heat!  All in all we really enjoyed their visit!  Thank you Grandpa & Grandma for visiting & for all the goodies!
