Memorial Day also gives us a little taste of summer every year...swimming, watermelon, and hamburgers cooked on the grill. We have 3 more days of school with kiddos and Friday is a workday. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can! Summers are just such a treasure at our house. We live such a hectic life from August to May. It is a complete blessing for us to have 8 full weeks of family time.
We started off the weekend with a visit to "Tractors, Trucks, and Heavy Equipment Day" at the Farm in town. It was awesome! I have never seen so many little boys in one place in all my life. Nathan and Jordan loved all the trucks! It was a little boy's dream!
The Antique Fire Truck!
The John Deere Tractor!
The Dump Truck!
And FRRAAAANNNNKKK! (just like in the movie, "Cars.")
Little toy tractors!
And the best for last....the FIRE TRUCK!
Then, we celebrated Brayden and Bryce's 4th Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. So fun!
The Birthday boys!
The Ticket Blower!
Today: a cookout at Gram and PaPa's for lunch.
Tonight: a cookout at MiMi and Grandad's for supper! Bryan's birthday is on Wednesday so we were able to celebrate him today. It's always special to celebrate the one you love. He requested peanut butter cookies for his birthday treat. So, I have to share the fabulous Paula Deen recipe...
1 cup peanut butter1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Mix it all together and form into balls the size of walnuts. Bake them at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Sprinkle them with sugar while they are still hot. They were delicious and so easy!!
Remember the dress-up clothes MiMi gave the grand kids for Christmas? They have provided lots of fun over at MiMi and Grandad's house!
Nathan was a football player today. Isn't that helmet hilarious? He was playing catch with Aunt Jenn.
Jordy thought he would be Santa Claus in May. He does request Santa Claus stories for bedtime quite a bit! HA!
"I sing for joy at the works of Your hands!" Psalm 92:4
Weekends like this make my heart just overflow with praise.
