What fun!

This weekend, we spent some MUCH needed family time together. Our lives have become so busy that we haven't stopped long enough to enjoy the time we get to spend together. With Brandon and I working such different schedules, we have few opportunities to go out as a family. So many things have kept us occupied recently and we just had to step back and MAKE the time to do some things together.

Over the weekend, we took in a Diamond Jaxx game, complete with Fireworks show afterwards. The boys LOVED it. They were getting tired during the game but were GREAT. When the fireworks started, they were glad they stuck it out and hung around for that part!

Amazed by the fireworks!

Sunday afternoon we did nothing but hang around the house all day. We had no schedule to keep and just did as we wanted to do. Sunday evening brought absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather so we headed outside to enjoy it. Lawson and Jagger wanted to put on their soccer shirts (souvenirs from dad on his trip to Brazil) and practice soccer. That didn't last very long, however, they played outside until it was dark and the bugs started to bite. Brandon enjoyed a relaxing drink of kool-aid (beautifully displayed with fancy glass and crazy straw) in the swing under the shade. Me? I took pictures of everything going on around us. Even Lucy got out and enjoyed our family time. I even got a few good pics of her.

We, as a family, needed a little downtime. I have always felt it was important to MAKE time to do things together even if you really don't always HAVE the time. What a fun weekend it was!

Brandon and his fancy drink.:)

Nana even got water-gunned down! :)

Pretty Lucy. I just realized that she never gets any "blog" time.

Just as a side note, I was able to add a slide show to my blog, but it is located beneath all of the posts. It was the only way you could see the whole pictures. It is just a slide show of some of our favorite pics over time. If you have a chance you should check it out.
