June 16 until July 4th

I've been trying to spend as much time as possible at the lake and with the boys, before I start my new Job as Department Chair on July 1.   Evan at the park at Lake Atalanta:

 Playing with the messy stuff:

 Buying Kyler a new Bike

 More playing at the creek at Lake Atalanta

 Don't worry, he doesn't have a razor...just my nail clippers :)  He's starting young with the shaving routine...

 Playing on the swingset...

Sidewalk art:

 Yes, we stay in our PJs and play outside all day:

 A little creative time:

 Playing in the sand:

In case you have noticed that I don't have many pictures of Jayden in this post, its because Jayden and Melissa are at Ole Miss so that Jayden can attend a football camp.  Melissa posted about it here.

 After all that playing we've got to bathe before we can even eat dinner!

 It wouldn't be summertime without making pallets and sleeping all in one room....

They've opened a new restaurant at the Marina...JJ's.  They have bands on the weekend:

Our first breakdown in the Bronco...I know that Phillip is glad that I had my camera to document the event :)

Phillip and I have enjoyed going out almost every evening to watch the sun set:

 

We love how the people on Beaver Lake "get into" the 4th of July. We saw fireworks 3 nights in a row. The first night we boated over to Ventris Point and enjoyed their fireworks....

 

Then we boated just down from our place to watch the fireworks in the cove:

Then on Monday night we just sat out on the deck and watched the fireworks going off all around us.  When we got up Monday morning, Phillip found a rocket (about 12"long and 2" in diameter) on our back deck, right under the chair where he was sitting!  Its a good thing we didn't stay up late....
