Our Tropical Getaway!
We had a wonderful opportunity to fly to Florida for an extended weekend getaway! (THANK YOU MOM/GRANNY FOR THE AIRLINE PASSES) Although it was just a short trip, we are so thanful to have given the boys this opportunity. They got to experience their first flight and their first sight of the ocean. We stayed on the beautiful beaches of Long Boat Key Island. It was amazing!
Lovin' This Pool!
Our resort was beautiful and the pool was no exception! The boys were lovin' every minute of it!Fun on the Sea Doo!
We rented a Sea Doo so the boys (and Charley) could have some play time in the ocean. Needless to say, Charley now has a new toy on his "Dear Santa" list.
Tropical Beauty
The tropical beauty of the island surrounded us! Bird of paradise flowers, palm trees & white sandy clear water beaches, it was amazing!Lunch at the Old Salty Dog
We enjoyed fish & chips at the Old Salty Dog restuarant. Our table was the deck over the bay right by the marina. The boys got a kick out of watching the pelicans, sea gulls and boats while they ate their lunch!

Bradley & Cody's First Flight!
Bradley & Cody experienced their first flight (courtesy of their Granny!) on our Florida gettaway! We did have one long layover in Houston and Cody took a nap with the beach towel! The boys thought flying was too cool! Then when we were getting off the plane, the pilot let them both sit in the cockpit and he gave them a lesson in flying! The were SO impressed! Check back for more postings of our mini vacation with the boys!

Happy 14th Birthday Kalee!!!
Kalee had a great birthday! She spent the day shopping at her favorite mall, eating lunch at Fuddruckers, having her favorite home cooked meal (chicken noodle casserole) as well as a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, and opening presents! 14, wow, hard to believe in 2 years she'll be driving! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALEE...WE LOVE YOU!!!Friday, July 20, 2007
Time With The Girls
SORRY! I did not get any pictures of the girls while the boys were away. BUT... we did have a great time together! We went to Six Flags (no fun to bring your camera there) I took them to see Ratatouille, and we also went swimming & shopping! I will try to get some pics of them posted soon!
Brad & Cody's NEW Room!
While Bradley & Cody were at camp and Granny & Papa's last week, Charley was BUSY BUSY BUSY turning their plain white room into the ultimate boys space! They were so surprised & excited to come home to their remodeled room. Charley built an awesome shelving system in the closet, put up a trophy shelf above the window, installed some cool blue track lighting, and painted the whole room. We also took a trip to Ikea and bought them a new computer desk, and they now have a computer in their room. (Notice the poster above the computer desk, it is them on the starting gate at the Mother's Day race.) They think that is really cool! I know, I know, you're wondering "what did Heather do?" She came up with the ideas and then supervised while Charley slaved away! I took the skateboards to get their names airbrushed on them, and shopped while I waited for them to be done! Hard work, huh???

Happy 4th of July!
We had a fun 4th of July BBQ at our house tonight! We had some neighbors over for dinner and shared a great meal. Then we all went out front and set off lots of fireworks. The boys really got a kick out of it! It was a great night!
* The girls have been at church camp this week and will come home on Friday afternoon. (Incase you were wondering why they haven't been in any pictures lately!) They called this evening to let us know that they are having a great time at camp! I'm glad to hear that as we have had a fun week with the boys. We took Bradley & Cody to a late night movie last night, Ratatouille, it started at 10:30pm and we didn't get home until after midnight! They thought that was very cool. Today we got up and went to Hurricane Harbor water park and then went to Papa's Burgers for lunch. It's been great spending time with just the boys, BUT.....they are leaving for church camp this Saturday and will be gone for a week. We are looking foward to another fun-filled week, but this time with just the girls! *
