I feel like it's been a while since I last got a chance to blog. We have had a pretty busy summer. I started a new job, Devin's had baseball 2 times a week (sometimes 3), and we have just been trying to enjoy our summer together as a family.
This weekend I brought the boys up to Cloquet to see my parents. We had a blast! Yesterday we went to chub lake and went jet skiing, played in the sun, and did some swimming. Devin feels like he has bragging rights because papa let him drive the jet ski and they even tipped it over a few times! I on the other hand am super tired from the 5 hours of driving and all the fun I had 'screwing around' (in my dads words) on the jet ski with my sister Sadie.
For the most part the boys were great and I love that they like spending time with their grandparents. We made it home in one piece after..... 2 pieces of missing chewed gum, a shoe thrown at my head while I was driving, and the constant nagging about how much longer! I love my boys so much and would do it over and over again to see the smiles on their faces when there with there "papa and Gigi"
Another great thing about being away for the weekend is I got to give my husband some much needed time to himself. He is outside for the entire workday and is just exhausted after coming home and all the evening activities we have going on. You would think he would have liked to take the time and just relax but of course being an awesome daddy he spent some of his time building the kids a huge sand box. They were so surprised and Brody made sure to play in it right away! I also was in for a surprise myself. I have had my eye on some chairs I wanted for the patio and around the bonfire pit. When we got home they were waiting for me in the drive way. Brody said, "Mommy!! your favorite chairs are here... Daddy is nice!" I sure do love my husband! Thanks Ted!
All in all we had a fantastic time, a pretty good car ride, and came home to a few surprises. I am beyond blessed with the life I have been given and just feel extra thankful today. GOD is good!
