It has been SO hot we have been trying t think of everything possible to beat the heat. a couple weeks ago we started turning on the sprinklers and letting all the kids play in them after work. i started getting out all of our umbrellas and they have LOVED playing like it is a rain storm. one night we had probably 10 neighborhood kids out here running around with umbrellas! haha! so, it has been a regular thing for us to do this almost every night.
last night we went down to 1st thursday on the square. the kids had their first taste of sno cones.

a week ago, my SUPER MOM came in town to help with the kiddos. jason was in his big golf tourney so my mom probably gave us the best gift ever and asked if she would take the kids for the weekend. she took them up to springfield on friday (my dad had a razorback thing in fay) all by herself and took them to see imagination movers at the fair that night. then sat they woke up and went to the zoo to see the baby giraffe and then went to the club to swim and eat dinner. then on sunday drove them back to fayetteville. jason and i got to go out with friends and have so much fun! i even got to go get a facial! it was such a treat. i'm not sure jason and i have ever been together without our kids in fayetteville! we are soooo grateful for that weekend! i know it was not easy on my mom but it meant the world to us! my mom then stayed in town till the wednesday to help with the kids during the day since they were out of school. they were busy with activities all day long. they LOVED every minute of it and have been crying for coco to come back! ;)
 my mom had one day back in springfield then flew out to chicago today with my dad to go to my sister's fundraising thing she puts on and then is coming home sunday to fly out to denver to help my brother get his new place situated! can you tell we still need our mama verrrrry much??!!!
thank you mom and dad for knowing just how much we need you all and for always being there even before we ask! :)

a couple of funnies from liza lately:
she asked me last night if i had any friends that were boys or if they were all just girls. and i said well yes! i am friends with lots and girls and boys! why?
and she said welllllllll, dad has a LOT of friends that are girls.

she was talking to uncle chippy about who his girlfriend should be and she suggested her best friend, chloe.
