Fun Summer Week

Luke and Josh were having fun in the driveway with scooters They were running over water bottles...

and modifying the brake with duct tape. 

Tuesday we got Luke a much needed hair cut.  This is before...goof ball.

We have been enthralled with the Olympic, Michael Phillips (that's what the boys call him) and Usain Bolt are our two favorites. 

Wednesday we went to Butte for the first annual Burgman-Boyle basketball game, a tribute to my late cousin Kyle.  The boys were shooting around with the team at the Civic Center, wearing flip flops no less. 

My cousins' kids got to play for a few minutes each half.  Very cool tribute!

After the game, we all met at the KC for a drink and some pizza. The kids gravitated toward the stairs.  I love how goofy Luke is in this picture. 

Thursday we decided to make cookies, and Luke came up with a "sure winner" for the bake off with babysitter Zach.  

We made chocolate chip with watermelon sour patch toppings.  Mind blown. 

Saturday we went to Georgetown Lake.  

Gramma Bonnie got cold -- in AUGUST -- and brought her own snuggly blanket. 

We bought a new surf board for the kids, a Scamp, and it worked super well for the kids. 

Josh wanted to surf and wakeboard in the same day with his cast still on (it comes off this week!).  Check and check!

When we got home we snapped a picture of the boys' pumpkins.  They're growing very nicely!

This one has been hiding under leaves and we just saw it for the first time this week. It's a monster!

Sunday dinner with the grandparents was fun and we decided to do some floats. This is the selection that the boys came home with.  I chose Dang! rootbeer and grampa harley had Swamp Pop.  

Don't these look delicious? 

Cheers to a nummy summer tradition!

This is Luke attempting to be dainty and to hold his pinky up.  It's a tricky move. :)
