and the first thing out of the boy's mouths when asked
"What do you guys want to do this summer?" was...kid you not..."MOVE!"
Ok....

7. Get a slip-n-slide
8. Go to a Memphis Redbirds game
9. Go to the BMX park in Little Rock

Not as good as our list last year, but not too shabby.
Some of the same things, mixed in with some new ones.
I'll change them to red as we complete the list...or try to.
And maybe we will add to it.
As you can see,
we already managed to complete somethings last weekend.
We also plan on reading....a LOT.
I am trying to finish up this, I'm reading this outloud to the littles, and this, and Jared is working on this one. (which I may want to read when he's done, I can't decide)
What do you have planned this summer?
Give us some more ideas to get our list to 50!
you can't list Ev next to "make smores"....so not the same. The boys can't wait to meet their cousin....

can I come have smores with you guys? you can come watch the fireworks at the coast with me...I rented a house with a big yard - so you can camp too. Cross off 2 things. ;)
a few things on my summer to-do list include:
a picnic on top a mountain (Mary's Peak - the tallest mountain in the OR coast range)
the beach for the 4th...
DaVinci Days (a local weekend festival - concerts, parades, kinetic races, etc...)
a weekend in a treehouse (that's in September though)
a rodeo (teehee!)
hmmm...it's all LOCAL stuff.
Maybe you guys should move here this summer. ;)
Your boys are in big trouble for not putting "seeing their new baby cousin" on the top of that list. Maybe that should come second on the list after, "seeing uncle Mike"
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
my hubby is FUNNY
