Our Summer - 2011

I have not been a very good blogger in the past months.  Despite being off school for the summer we managed to keep quite busy with our little fellows.  Now we are back into the swing of school, beautiful fall weather is here, and the holidays are fast approaching.  So I thought I would recap all of our summer fun for you!
 The boy loved playing out on the front porch!  They have slides, swings, balls, and sand & water table, John Deer tractors, and lawnmowers.....what more could 2 guys ask for!

Nanny Annie got them this awesome splash zone pool for their birthday and they spent many afternoons enjoying it!  This was their first time in and they were way too excited to waste time getting their swim trunks on!

 The boys really enjoyed helping Daddy with the yard work and then cooling off in the pool!  They are such big helpers!
The boys working hard to get those teeth clean!
 Their first trip to Sams Club. 
Jace looks petrified and Bret is mad because the bacon lady ran out of samples!

We took our first family vacation this summer and headed to the windy city.  We went to Lincoln Park Zoo, the Children's Museum, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, and the Lego Store.  The boys rode the bus, train, and zipped all around town in their strollers.  Their favorite thing was the awesome park by our house that had an enormous sprinkler for all the neighborhood kids to play in!





The boys took their first trip to Indiana Beach this summer on the annual Hueston-Sweet Family trip!  They loved the rides and we loved having Sammi and Lilly ride with them and hang on to them!  Bret was our little daredevil who would try anything and Jace was doing ok until the Frog Hopper.  It was all downhill from there and he preferred watching and cheering for bubby!  They ate hot dogs, watched the ski show, and splashed in the water park......it was a great first trip to Indiana Beach!


Aunt Jami Jo did our family pictures in July and we were so excited to have Aunt Megan home to visit from Virginia Beach.  The boys were very good for their photo shoot and spent most of the time running and playing with the chicks at Memaw and Papaw's house!
 We spent a really great summer with our guys and were sorry to see it come to an end.
