Enjoying the Weather

This week, the weather has been almost perfect. We've spent most of our afternoons OUTSIDE, and we've loved every minute of it. We signed Reed up for soccer this fall, so we've been practicing kicking the ball and running. Reed has had a blast practicing, so hopefully he will enjoy Soccer when it starts!

Reed was so excited when I told him that he & Chase got a package in the mail. He couldn't wait to open it, so he ran outside to find Chase.

Showing Chase what they got.
Chase taking a closer look. Thanks Grandmomma for the surprise!

Since we don't live on a lake, what's the best way to knee board?
Use a boogie board, some rope and a lawn mower!
Who needs water?

Chase wasn't brave enough to try the boogie board, so he helped Daddy drive!
We celebrated Daddy's birthday outside! We deep fried a turkey and had a picnic outside.
One of our favorite outdoor toys...
Reed & Chase love the tree swing.
I tried several times to catch them laughing, but I couldn't get a good picture that wasn't blurry!
Chase thought he was big stuff getting to ride in the swing all by himself!

Sorry we missed Chris' birthday.. tell him happy late birthday.. you know how horrible i am with remembering things. That is a great idea about the knee board behind the lawnmower.. we attached the wagon to the back of my dads lawn mower when KK was younger.

You guys never cease to amaze me with your creativity. I bet Reed had a blast. Also, I love the next to last picture of your adorable boys (A little Erin and little Chris :))!

Miss y'all and hope to see you soon!
