summer fun

So Trista and i decided we needed to have a water slide, the babes loved it
& so did the neighbors
Fishing in the canal with our cousins
watching Mackay play T-Ball
Crusin the town
Playing dress up (Matt is such a good friend)
Cabelas in Boise
The kids were so excited to see their cousin, six weeks was way too long!! After we flew in to boise Maycee said, today is the best day of my life I get to see, nani, grandpa, Jaymie and most of all my cousins.

New England Aquarium

So Brett was out of town again, so to keep me & the kids happy we hit the town.  We went to the aquarium it was pretty cool.  Not as cool as Baltimore but entertaining all the same. 

Our friends Caden Louder & Nash Humphreys joined us (& their moms too)

The kids loved the penguins best

The aquarium is right down town in the harbor

Right when you walk in the whole main floor is surrounded by penguins 

In the middle is this huge 5 story fish tank, with BIg fish, sharks, sting rays, and giant turtles  

The kids liked the kids exploration center where they could touch everything.  Like star fish, crabs, clams, and ext.  All in all it was a super fun trip.  After we started walking around but it was 100 degrees so that didn't last to long.  Way TOO HOT!!!  But I hear we will be cooling down.  We fly to Bosie this weekend to watch my little sis in the Miss Idaho Pageant. It was snowing in Idaho today :( that will be a big change. 

A New Trick!

Look what Ripken just learned to do! He is getting to big.  He also can do sooo big and wave but it would take a small miracle to get all his tricks on one video.  So Trista here you go the video you requested. (Fam 4 days till I get to see you all)!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah !!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) Can you tell I am excited :) !!!!!!!!!!

Break a leg!

Fenway Park

Lots of Pics only a family member would enjoy!! :)

Last night we took the kids to a Red Sox game.  It was super fun, the kids loved it.  We sat right behind the dugout, the kids each got a ball including our biggest kid Brett:).  It was a memory I think they will all ways remember. Let's go Red Sox!!!! (to bad they lost, big time) But at least the last game we went to was the no hitter!!   

We got SCREWED!!!

So last night Brett and a few guys got a pricey life lesson.  So I will start at the beginning; as all those sports fans know last night was game one in the NBA Finals.  LA vs Boston, and being that we are here in Boston all the die hard sports fans in our office decided after a hard days work (the games here start at 9 p.m.) would buy some tickets for the game.  They bought tickets from the first guy they met, for however much cash they could each get out of the atm, and ran like excited little school boys into the game that was about to start.... They get to the door, hand the guy their tickets and the tickets wont ring in... They are FAKE!!!! To tell the truth I am sure it almost brought all of them to tears (lets be honest)  But I know they all got that sick feeling inside.  They went from the highest hight to the lowest low... It is the worst feeling to feel like you got taken advantage of.  I hope the man who sold Brett the ticket burns in (beep) !! Maybe his experience will help some of you to be more suspicious of those ticket scalpers!! I mean they look so trustworthy;)

The Backyardigans & Coco Key Water Park

The Backyardigans Live on stage came to town & I had to take advantage!! The kids always want to go to these shows when we see them on t.v. but where we live... the big shows just don't come for a few thousand people:) 

It was sooo cute the kids love the tail of the mighty knights,  I would have to say hand down the Backyardigans is our fav. cartoon at our our house!! 

They loved the egg "wack wack" the grabbing goblin & the flighty fairy.... the dragon was cool as well.

And you just cant beat the song they start and end with.  Then they had a little dance along.  The kids had a great time singing all the songs along with them.  I did TOO!! I even caught Brett singing along;)  

Then we headed off to the Hotel where the water park is.  Coco Key is attached to the Sheraton Hotel.

This part had 6 slides.  There were 4 big slides over in a different section that you had to be 42 in. to go on.  The kids were sooo sad they were not big enough :(

Lazy River

Kids park

Too much fun

Bostin going down the slide!!! The kids were so brave, it was fun.

There was also a out side pool & splash park.  They had a little  monkey bars  and basketball hoops in the water too.

All in all it was an amazing weekend!!  The kids and even the big kids had the time of our lives!! Thanks Brett a.k.a. daddy for working soo hard so we can play hard too!!
