Rain, rain, please don't go away!!

Our family is in the middle of a move (so fun in the heat of summer & 35 weeks pregnant!) and I'm a little behind.  So this will be short and sweet.
Just before we moved we got a break from the heat and the boys were fully prepared to partake in God's blessing of rain.  Fortunately the camera hadn't been packed yet, so I stole this quick pic. 

I mean how cute are they!?!?!

Gig 'em Aggies

So my children are officially brainwashed.  I don't think we're at the scary creepy stage yet, but if you're not an Aggie you may disagree.  Before the twins were born my mom bought them an Aggie board book.  We have read it a few times since then, and they picked it up very quickly.  So in honor of the Aggie baseball team playing in the College World Series (even though they lost a tough game last night), here are the boys "reading" their Aggie book with Daddy.

Thanks and Gig 'em! 

Lazy Summer Days...

These past few weeks, the boys and I have enjoyed a few more cartoons than are regularly in our daily routine.  I have many excuses (33 wks pregnant, 99 degree heat, extra snuggle time, etc) but I think I'm just really becoming more of a sucker these days! 
In case you weren't aware, my boys love cars, trains, trucks, and really anything that has wheels and rolls.  So when we first introduced them to the movie Cars, they were hooked!  Currently they can tell you every character in the movie and do a great Lighting McQueen impression if you ever want to see it.  Here are a few of our lazy afternoon pictures...

The boys turned the TV on by themselves and are working really hard to open the DVD. 
I mean really, how do you turn down this ingenuity?

Luke got all his pillows and blankets ready on his own for his movie viewing pleasures!

My snuggler!  He brings his blanket and tells me "Cuddle." 

The boys have never been to the movie theater, but with the new Cars movie on the way we have our first movie trip scheduled!  If their reaction to the previews is any indication to how they will enjoy it, I think we're going two excited little boys. 

Houston we have a problem....

My current problem is being 8 months pregnant in this crazy heat!  We have already hit triple digits, and I'm not seeing any relief in sight.  However, if you're 2 I have the perfect solution. 
A few weeks ago we upgraded the boys small inflatable pool they used last summer to the "big pool" fully equipped with a slide.  As a result, many of our hot afternoons we have filled up the pool, eaten our popsicles, and splashed away.  They absolutely love it (and sleep so good those nights, which means mom & dad love it).  Now if they only make pools like this for pregos....  :)

I love that Luke gets stuck trying to slide down the slide on his belly.  Cracks me up every time! 

Hope you find ways to stay cool and enjoy this summer!!
