The Simple Things...

So I know, it's been awhile...I'm not too good at this. But I'll try to be better.

Today I've been thinking about how it's truly the simple things in life that are the best and create the most lasting memories. This afternoon I was cleaning the dishes and Matt took Jack outside in the front yard to play. He started watering the grass, and Jack decided he needed to help. He is a major helper--I know all kids are to an extent, but he helps me with laundry, dishes, sweeping (kind of) and they tell us he does this in Bible class too. Hopefully it will stick! So, anyway, he's watering the grass with Matt and he started spraying himself with the water hose. By the time I came outside he was completely soaked. We were all laughing so hard, but we did manage to snap a few pictures. That boy is so silly! But he makes my day--every day. I'm also including some other silly pictures.

*Some of you know that Jack broke his leg a couple of weeks ago. He got his cast off on Tuesday (He's still talking about it: "Boot. Off. Boot. Off.") He's just starting to walk again, and he's still limping, but we're just excited that he's walking, because he wouldn't for the first few days the cast was off. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers on that one!

Just want you to know that Jack so such a beautiful little boy. I know you aren't supposed to call boys that word but he is so beauti... I mean cute!!! Yeah those boys are a mess at least he was spraying himself with the water hose rather than the windex or air freshener like mine did this past week.. and whose fault is that? Mine. Leaving it on the counter when I know he has a way of scaling any height... Mommy's always be on guard when you have boys.
