Just make one

Alex has been dropping the DS play system hint for most of the summer for his Birthday. I for one loth the idea of my child being one of those kids who plays games all his life and eats and sleeps technology. I feel that if we get him one it will be a hard train to slow and we also know that his little brother will want one as well so that will be another fight to stave off. Oh the joys of parenting. Anyway I did find this pleasing that he decided to build his own out of Legos and thought I would share his creation. It is pretty cool actually and very detailed for a 6 yr old. He also said he was going to write a story about it in the morning.

Getting close

The end of July is near and that always signals our wedding anniversary. This year it will be 12 years since we stood at the alter and gave our vows to one another. Still haven't decided what to do for it but it does look like it will be crazy hot just as it was on our wedding day. We did a boat dinner cruse one year and that was a lot of fun so maybe again.

The Heat

The weather around here has been brutal as was most of the country the last couple of days or so. So what we did to beat the heat was to stay inside and feel blessed to have air-conditioning. The pool has been a great spot to hang out at this summer but lately even that has been to hot to go to. Crazy to think that it is too hot to go to the pool but with the air quality in the red zone we really had no choice if we want to be healthy. Its going to get cooler this week and we hope to continue are pool outings and summer cookouts. Next week the guys are at Bible camp with our church so that will be a nice little break for me to hit the gym again and some much needed me time. We are having a great summer and hope you are as well.

WV Trip

On a whim we decided to go to the Canaan Valley in West Virginia. It was going to be a very hot weekend to be in the DC area so we decided to go and explore the mountains. The drive was very scenic and went fast so the boys were in good spirits mostly and those of you with kids get the idea. I took lots of pic for you all to enjoy. We are having a great summer and hope everyone else is too.
