| Friday was the Father/Daughter dance ... my Lil' Beauty! |
 |
| Miss Millie and her Daddy - my they dress up nicely! ;) |
Although it was terribly hot (90 degrees), Bruce and Millie did attend the Father/Daughter dance at the Elementary School on Friday night - they danced every Taylor Swift song (Millie's favorite) and Bruce led both the Hokey-Pokey and the Chicken Dance - way to go!! (I wish I was there with the camera to get tons of pics!) They came home a bit deflated from the heat, but with giant grins - these are the special memories which will last a lifetime ... and who better to bring Millie to her first dance than her Daddy?? (Bruce even bought her a corsage at the dance - what a softie!)
Saturday was another hot day - Bruce planted more veggies in the garden and I rushed about mowing the lawn - we were both trying to beat the heat!! In the early afternoon, we had an impromptu pool party! At one point, there were 9 kids swimming about laughing and playing -- I love the summer!
On a whim, our friends asked us to join them later that evening for a Monster Truck Rally/Derby - the boys were more than eager to go - so we did! It was loud (and dirty!) but we all had so much fun! It's great to go out with friends - especially my closest ones who also have 4 kids = everyone has a playmate - including us parents! haha
 |
| The truck was zooming by so quickly, I couldn't focus fast enough! |
 |
| Bennie's favorite monster truck! |
 |
| This truck, was getting ready for a crazy stunt ... |
 |
| A full somersault! Here he goes .... |
 |
| .... and CRASH! It was definitely crazy! |

Now for some tire poses ... (please excuse the white reflections in my kiddos eyes - I cannot seen to fix it! The kids love it because they look "zombie-ish" - ugh)
 |
| Foxie ... |
 |
| Bennie ... |
 |
| Ollie ... (He was a bit afraid of how incredibly big the truck was!) |
 |
| .... and Millie, striking a pose! haha |
 |
| Daddy makes the truck less scary! xo |
 |
and the family ... silly fun!
|
Sunday was a relaxing, stay at home day ... the kids swam all day ... Bruce and I set up the shade tent and lounged beneath it on some big blankets all afternoon ... we lunched outside and even had a bit of a nap. I love these lazy kind of days where we don't have any plans ... we can just 'be'.
I did squeeze in a bit of crochet (of course!) as I love to hook outside in the breeze ... I've started a sofa blanket/throw for our dear cousin who is getting married in July - it dawned on me that I have very little time as it's June already!! Here are a few pics (mind you, it's in its early stages ;)
 |
| this has got to be the BIGGEST hook I've ever seen! 15.25mm!! |
 |
| But, it does work up quick! |
 |
Yesterday, enjoying more sunshine and hooky goodness as Ollie played outside ... ahhh - I so love the summer!
|
Well, my wonderful readers (wherever you are) enjoy your day - it is another beautiful one here already! Be happy ~ xo
