Summer Days!!!

There are A LOT of things I love about Summers.  Here are the many things going on at the Hodo's during the Spring/Summer Time.  Enjoy....

The beautiful flowers blooming all over...

I got this little guy from the grocery store a couple of weeks ago.  I finally got it planted in the ground.  So here he is in his new home. Let's hope for a full life...

This sign is posted in my backyard for people to stay out of the field behind us.  Luckily my boys don't attempt to climb the barbed wire.  I think this guy means business...

Burnout!!  Here are my boys enjoying a little gaming.  Aidan has the look of a not so happy 2 year old....

I think we have officially his the "TERRIBLE TWO'S" Full on Temper Tantrums on the ground. Attitude throwing and yelling "shut up" I HATE when he says shut up!! We NEVER use that in our home so it's hard to teach a 2 year not to talk like that and not giggle at the same time.  It is kind of cute when he says it. ;)

Ethan is a big gamer and loves playing with Vance...

Next month is mine and Vance's 6th year anniversary...

Movies before bedtime...

This year I've really been enjoying weeding and sprucing up my yard.  It's really coming a long...

More flowers to enjoy...

Aidan wearing my gardening bandanna...

I'm playing softball and soccer this year.  The first time in 10 years.  I'm getting back into the groove of things and really loving it...

The fields we play on for softball are on turf.  Very interesting...

Always fun with Grandma and Grandpa.  Aidan and I shopping at the nursery with Grandma Chard...

Aidan checking out the pond plants...

He was very interested in the waterfall thing with the ball...

My parents hire me to cut their grass.  So Saturdays we go over mow the lawn and the kids play in the yard... Of course they CAN'T stay out of the pond and are always getting into it. 

My dad's pond...

The top of the pond...

Like I said can't stay out of the pond...

My parents doing a very nice job...

Hmmm.  Can we say Icecream Sandwich??

A sandbox my parents did for the grandkids...

We love going to the park...

Aidan trying to get the bat and Ethan trying to get Aidan to not get the bat...

The result of Ethan not leaving Aidan alone... Timeout...

Ethan says he is still on the bench..  Goofball...

Playing in the water is the all time favorite for the boys...

Ethan decided he needed his lifejacket...

#1 item to buy, childproof the hose.  No this was not my garden. 

Why do I put the boys in outfits and send them outside.  They Always end up wet.  I think I'll just put them straight into swimsuits...

Or just leave them in diaper and underwear!!!

The wonderful trees in my backyard...

Some Hula Hoop time...

These boys are not afraid of water!!!

Brothers hanging out together...

I remember lying on the driveway to dry off...

HUGE diaper, Nice.

Got to love the big bum hanging out

Snapshots with Ethan.

Mr. Toad, he protects us...

Anyways I love the summer and am looking forward to many beautiful days outside with my boys.
