Fun on the 4th

We celebrated the 4th at my grandparents house yesterday! We swam, ate, drank, swam more and played all day! It was a great day celebrating our country!

Snack break!

Lots of pool time!

Pretty much all I did!

And then this boy, always copying Lane, decided to jump in the pool!! 

All.by.himself!!! Basically he taught himself to go under! It was the craziest thing!! 

They probably jumped 50 times! 

Brothers!

We ended the night with sparklers!

Happy 4th!!

Thirty Two

Yesterday I celebrated another birthday! They are coming faster and faster I tell ya! Our weekend was full and fun. Saturday we spent most of the day at Lane's 3 on 3 soccer tournament. He did awesome, had four goals on the day, and his team won third place!

.

This is what our down time looked like! Ipads, iphones, and Nintendo Ds'!

After the tournament we dropped the kids off at my aunts then that night we celebrated a little early with Megan and Kyle in downtown Ft. Worth! We went to Del Friscos Grill and it was SO good!!! We had the best time eating, drinking, talking and just having a great time!

.

Sunday, since the boys were gone, Paul and I spent the day just the two of us! I slept in first of course! Then we went to lunch at Taco Diner, shopped around Town Center, grabbed Starbucks, then walked over to see 22 Jump Street! Perfect afternoon with my man!

After we grabbed the boys that evening, we had dinner at Cheesecake to end the day!

I had a wonderful birthday! Thanks to everyone who sent sweet messages!! Let's see what 32 holds for me!!

Well we are already into our second full week of summer and we've been having fun!! My big camera rarely makes apperances right now so most pics I snap are on my camera! And while I usually post to IG, I need to get all my sweet pics onto the blog so they will make their way into the book!

I may or may not have introduced cake pops to the boys and they may or may not be slightly addicted now....oops! 

Summer Reading Club at Lane's school...and they even got to have a water balloon fight...just another reason I LOVE his school!!

GO USA!! 

We are in a World Cup frenzy over here!! I love that Lane is not only loving watching soccer, but this is a great avenue to teach USA pride and also all about other countries!

 HAPPY SUMMER!!!

{30 Book Challenge} 10th & 11th Book Reviews

I'm still going strong with my book challenge! Although it's not always easy to find the time to read I do! 

My 10th book I read, where there's smoke, wasn't really a "book" more of a short story. Picoult released it one day for free in light of here new novel about to come out in the Fall. I LOVE Picoult so I downloaded it quick! It was super short and focused one a lady who is a  nationally famous psychic. The character is going to appear in the novel coming out, so this was just a glimpse into her life! Took about 45 minutes to finish and leaves you thinking!

My 11th books was The One and Only by Emily Giffin. This has been on my wishlist and I picked it up when it came out, May 20th! I finally started it on the way to Waco and finished it quick! It was a fun, light hearted read that centered around college football in Texas! It made mention of lots of Texas teams including Texas, which was fun! Although I didn't love the outcome of the main character, I really liked the book! Definitely recommend it!

I would love to know what ya'll are reading!!
