SATURDAY HAPPENINGS

Garrett had his last lacrosse game Saturday.  He is #60.

I really think he liked lacrosse but he was really ready for the season to be over because that means HOCKEY - time to skate.

After the game, we went to Longhorn Steakhouse.  This is a new restaurant in our area. 

 We celebrated our Mother's Day with Meme.

After eating, we finally planted our little garden. 

 Garrett decided that he needed something other than grass to shoot pucks on outside.  Well this is his idea of ice.

I guess it worked until Jeff tried it out - Not so good.

Garrett wants me to buy him synthetic ice for the yard.

Not sure that will happen.

HAIRCUTS for Summer

So I got ready to take a sweet picture of the boys new haircuts.  This is what happens

 Better boys - thanks

 Then Seth decides he doesn't want an individual shot.

 Well okay, maybe

 Garrett trying to sneak by without his picture being taken. 

My goodness you would think I'm taking pictures of toddlers or something.

Well short haircuts for summer.  Thank you.  I like short hair for my boys.  We will see how long this last.

Great Wolf Lodge

 We are so fortunate to live close to the Great Wolf Lodge.  For one month, they partnered with Big Bothers, Big Sisters to offer the Big Splash.  Tickets were being sold for day passes.  

So we tagged up with our cousins and spent the day.  Too fun.  Ella had been before but too little to remember what this place is all about and how fun.

 This slide is a racing slide.  4 people on mats take off to see who comes in first. 

 Seth and Cooper in the wave pool.  This was Ella's favorite spot. 

The huge tree house that pours water.  

This was a fun day.  Tired but fun.  I had one asleep not long after we left. 

Just Worship II

Sunday night was the children's performance of Just Worship II.  What an incredible night of worship.  

This is Ella with all the preschool buddies waiting to sing.

 Seth was in the choir loft.  He is the second row from the top - right next to the cross.

 Each child wore a ribbon to honor a senior who should have been singing with the big group but passed about in March after begin hit by a car.  So special.

 Ella was asked to do a video.  This is the video of her on the big screen.

 Ella singing away. 

Mallory came to see Ella and Seth.  This was at the reception after the singing.  

Sing unto the Lord a new song.

Puddles

This  afternoon we had a rain shower.  Ella was ready to run and play in the puddles that form in the cul-de-sac in our neighborhood.

 I love this picture.  You can see her feet running but the reflection in the water is priceless.

This picture is the same way.  

One, Two, Three jump

Take 1

Take 2

Take 3 - We did it

There is no greater joy than running through puddles.
