Enjoying Summer Fun

Ahhh the joys of summer!  Flexible schedules, fun activities and a lot of wonderful time with my boys!  I am soaking up every minute of these last days now as Jake is about to start Kindergarten a week from tomorrow.  Can't believe that he is old enough to start...and here Kindergarten is full day.  I am going to miss my big boy but he is also SOOOO excited to start school.  He has missed it all summer and he is super excited to go back.  :)  I should probably enjoy that while it lasts.  :)  But here are some wonderful pictures of us enjoying our summer days!  :)

AJ enjoying one of his favorite foods...bread and butter :) 

During an afternoon naptime Jake helped make his Daddy some banana bread.  Sweet little guy

Painting!!!  My boys loved to paint and I don't get the stuff out as often as I should, because they really love it.

Happy 5 year old boy :)

Cute little painter with a LOT of hair...this was right before we got the boys new haircuts

They were very proud of their works of art :)

Some blogs ago I told you about a plant that Jake started from a bean at school..check out how tall it is now :)  And the very proud gardener!

We started the summer with this blow up pool...Jake was super excited as you can see by him trying it out before there was even water.  :)

Ready to go!

Let the water fight begin!

Would you get between these two?

Things got really fun when daddy joined in.  :)

And then we finally set up the Wii video game.  Nice to play sports inside when its hot out.  AJ was learning how to bowl here.

Jake gets a little excited with his remote :)

One morning we made Muddy Buddies...

...and each of the boys helped to make them.

They were very proud of what they made and mostly LOVED to eat them.  yum!!!

Jake also continued to play t-ball.  AJ was at every one of his brother's games and while he would have loved to play too, he did a great job of cheering for his brother and the Wildcats team.

And then a casual run into the dugout

Jake and his coach after his last game

Jake's t-ball picture

He was super excited about the medal that his team earned

And of course, as often occurs, Jake had a picture and so AJ wanted one too.  :)  He is also sporting his Austin TX shirt.  Fun way to have a shirt with his name on it :)

This is how a little boy enjoys summer :)

Super proud of how I accidentally caught this picture!  Jake was practicing his cannonballs in the kiddie pool.  :D  Love the look on his brother's face

This is how the Brown boys dry off after a swim...

...running like crazy around the yard.  :D

My cute little guy.  Always amazes me when I see him wearing clothes that his brother also wore...both "when was Jake that little" and "wow, AJ is big enough to wear it."  :)
