Clay & Brooke/Early Birthday Gift

Clay and Brooke came over for a day and the kids splashed in the pool. It is wonderful having a pool, even though it is not the in ground pool we dream of. I can work in my garden while keeping an eye/ear on the kids and the kids love it! It also saves on the amount of driving I do. Instead heading to town to go swimming on a hot day, we simply head to the back yard.

Our boys received an early birthday present this summer. . . a quad! Well, a partial birthday present. We paid for the quad and the boys will make small payments to us over the next 6 months to pay for a small portion. They were saving to buy a quad and when this one came along we jumped at the chance to buy it. My brother-in-law works for the company we bought it from, and managed to get us a super deal.

We have a big quad and the boys have driven it on occasion, but it scares me. It is much too big for them. This quad is the perfect size for them and has enough power to satisfy them for the next few years. When Martin arrived home with the quad the boys made a bee line to his truck!

There was no waiting for the quad to be unloaded.

Their expressions say it all!

Yes, they must wear a helmet to drive.

I was watering my garden, and came out to find the kids playing in the mud! Messy and dirty, but oh so much fun!
