Mammy and Papa!

We just said goodbye to Mammy and Papa this morning and sadly sent them on their way back to NM. We had them for a full month and had a wonderful time. Although this was our busiest time of year at the golf course, we managed to squeeze in some fun.
We spent a day in Leavenworth, a cute Bavarian town famous for its brats, beer and pretty flowers.

 

Mammy and Papa with their boys. Luke wasn't feeling very good that day.

Our guys!

 

 

Poor Papa, Luke styled his hair for him.

Enjoying the misters.

Yummy! We ate at an outdoor restaurant that served brats along with over 20 different mustards and the most delicious saurkraut we've ever had.

Mammy and Papa were a huge help with the boys. I catered for a group of 25 guys, breakfast, lunch and dinner for two days and without them there to help, I don't think I could have done it. We took them up to Winthrop (cowboy town, as Luke calls it) for a yummy lunch at Three Fingered Jacks.

 

 

 

 

Just before they left, we took them up to our family's orchard to pick apples. They bring us pecans and green chile, we send them home with fresh Washington apples. Everybody wins!

Parker was picking apples, tossing them to Marcos (our orchard manager), who then threw most of them on the ground. He told Parker he'd make a horrible picker.

Every now and then he got a good one.

 

Trippy got a good one too!

How 'bout them apples?

 

Aren't they pretty? Galas...

My guys!

We had a wonderful time with my mommy and daddy. I love watching them with our boys. Luke and Tripp just love and adore them so much and it makes me so sad to see them leave. Can't wait to see them again! Love you Mammy and Papa! xoxo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summer Fun!

It's been really warm here the last week or so and we've really been enjoying the heat! On Saturday we took the boys out to an annual flea market at a local fruit stand where the boys enjoyed some icecream and music.
 

 

Daddy and the boys had a water fight in the yard on Sunday afternoon.

 

Tripp really enjoyed himself.

Really.

I finally got the new dslr camera that I've been wanting forever and am having fun snapping shots of the boys and learning how to use all of it's cool features. I couldn't resist taking pictures of them playing in the front yard today. Tripp absolutely loves splashing through the water.

 

They both had suckers they were dragging around the yard. Who knows how much filth they ingested today. Probably about the same as usual if I'm honest.

 

 

 

 

My dad used to always tell the same bad joke. It started out good: "You want to hear a dirty joke?" The answer to that question is always yes! Unfortunately, he followed it up with the punchline: "A white horse fell in a mud puddle." Well today, a white boy jumped in a mud puddle and I've got the pictures to prove it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My hot hubby and me!

P with his boys!

We are so thankful to live in the greatest country in the world. God bless America!
