Where does the time go?

I've been slacking on this blog and thought I'd catch up on what we've been doing the past couple of months.

 April brought summer in full force to Georgia.  The boys played outside every chance they got and many playgrounds were visited. 
 April is considered the month of the "Military Child."  So Brent needed to decorate a tshirt for preschool where he marched in a parade and came home with goodie bag full of patriotic items.
 We made a very quick trip "home" to Wisconsin to celebrate Easter with family.  Even though it felt warm to those who live there, it was very chilly to us!
 The boys got to try out their cousin Logan's birthday present with the other cousins.


May brought a long weekend of camping for Mother's Day.  The boys got to do some fishing with Ben and it was nice to just relax away from housework.  We brought along the boys tractor and they loved having so much room to ride around.
 New 'Summer Pajamas' were brought out.
 We had the chance to visit some cousins in Atlanta.  It was so nice to see them play with each other.
 It was a warm day in the city so we took part in playing in the fountains.
 PaJ & MaJ came in for a visit.  We made a trip to Florida and walked the piers and played at the beach on a brief trip to Clearwater.  The boys loved the beach and made it clear they did not want to leave.
 The "Walker Wedding" was held Memorial Day Weekend.  Congratulations Chucky & Jessica!

June has brought even hotter weather.  We've been outside as much as possible but it seems like it usually ends up we do something involving water.  Brent has started to ride his bike like a pro.
 We borrowed Chucky's Jon Boat and took a ride on Lake Harding.  We all had such a great time.
 In honor of Father's Day, Ben was allowed to bring Brent to work one morning for "PT" (Physical Training.)  I didn't think it was going to happen because Ben leaves by 5:15 in the morning.  However, it just happened that Brent fell asleep the night before around 6pm and slept for the night.  He woke up at 5am saying "Mom, I can't sleep anymore."  PERFECT...off to work he went.   They did exercises and then got to eat together at the "chow hall."  They both had a nice time together.  Brent just happened to even have the right outfit.
 It was time for the boys to get haircuts.  Brody was in need of one badly and Brent's haircut was disaster haircut given by me.  They've got to feel so much better!
