White Trash Memorial

Yes, we celebrated Memorial Day "White Trash" style!!!

I'm from Tennessee, I can't help it.

That is us, and our fab neighbors in the FRONT yard!

We did have a great afternoon, trying to keep the little ones in the shade. 

The big kiddos splashed around and peed in the yard.

Good Times, Folks, Good Times

My neighbor, Johnette and her baby boy Trace, just 6 weeks younger than Christian

Then we grilled some burgers and dogs!

Nothing better than good friends, a cold beer, and a cheese burger

On Saturday, I took the boys down to my MIL's house for some swimming and grilling.

Connor had a blast in the pool. What a difference a year can make. He was fearless, all over the pool.

The above pic was Connor jumping into the pool and under the water with my MIL

Colton was a bit weary at first, didn't want to leave my side. Then he got attached to good ol' Uncle Lou.

SUCKER!!!! 

Told my son to hold his noodle

Never thought I would say that...HA

Christian had his first swim and loved it. He went skinny dipping and only peed once! The MIL will have to put some extra chlorine in it tomorrow!

"WHALE" of a Deal

I got the boys a Whale inflatable pool at target the other day. As far as price goes, it was a great deal-under $15. That's my kind of toy price! I figured the boys would love it since in a "real" pool all they want to do is play on the steps. Splashing is what they are most into at this age. It really is a cute pool, shaped like a whale and you can attach the water hose to the front and it will spray from the spout.

We put it out yesterday, and it was not a huge hit-DARN IT!! I think it might have been a bit cold because no one wanted to sit. Colton was in and out, which was difficult because the sides are pretty wide. And with the freshly cut grass-it kind of made a mess on his legs and in the water.

Mommy's little pisser! I am so proud!!

And yes, we do go for the European look for Colton! It's the only year in his life that he will wear a man-kini (I hope). Plus it's better than those disposable swim diapers. We will try again today maybe and see if it more successful now that the water is warm, OK probably HOT!
