Worst. Decision. Ever.

This was taken before the movie began. Azley will not see the inside of a theater again (with me) until she is at least 15. All I can say is it was not pretty, but Bly told me that Kung Fu Panda 2 was a pretty good flick.

Worn out

I know that I have posted pictures of my kids sleeping in the past but I just love them.

I just don't know how this can happen!

Cruising

I love this shot of the kids one evening out for a ride in the new car.

Fort Wayne Zoo

We took one day and went to the "big" zoo as Bly likes to call it in Fort Wayne. It is a great zoo and the kids love to go. Azley is definitely my animal lover and makes sure to talk to each animal and then tell them good-bye when we move on to the next. Bly is more into checking out the map that they give him and finding all the rides around the park and getting to each one as fast as possible.

Bly riding his pony which he insists on doing himself. I know that he is getting bigger but it makes me nervous.

Azzi and her horse Cookie. I thought that I might have to push this horse along but she was fully automatic which included backing out of her space, doing her two laps and parking with no assistance.

Neither one looks very excited in this picture but I promise they liked it.

She must comb each goat before we can head out so it is a process.

Nature Camp

This year was Bly's first day camp experience for the summer. He went up to Fernwood Gardens for a week with his buddy Sean. They went on walks and made a few crafts and I am sure many more things that Bly failed to mention. He was mostly just excited to see Sean and work toward the last day in which we told the boys they could finally visit the train. Some things never change!

Summer School

Bly's school let out a week earlier than my Mom and sister's school so we were able to make a trip up to see the 'big kids'. A teacher that works with my Mom has a lizard that has become the school mascot. It is always out of it's tank and visiting classrooms. My kids are now fascinated with this thing and I just get grossed out at them even touching it. To make matters worse, they now feed this thing worms which both kids think is great and Azley could do it all day long if you let her. The sixth graders think both kids are hilarious which only adds to the craziness when we visit.

We then headed to my sister's first grade room where they are normally at lunch. Bly and Azley were a little slow eating and the kids came back before we left. My two then proceeded to help with the carpet time and teach the weather and days of the week. Azley actually took a little girls pencil to use a  pointer because Bly had the only one.

Summer Vacation

Summer has come to the Johnson home in a flash and we have been taking full advantage of the warmer weather. With always being on the go or outside, the blog has suffered some so I hope to do a montage of days to catch back up.

To start off our days of summer theme, I want to share a picture that also captures my past.

I am sure that most of you that are around my age could have owned a Snoopy Snow machine yourself so you can understand my excitement when I saw one of these at the store. I bought it for a Christmas present for Bly and have had to wait many months to break open the box. He was a quick learner and was soon making snow cones for everyone that walked through the door. It was a lot of fun to share that excitement with him and remembering being a kid myself.
