7.2013~Babysitting/Neighbor Cookout

I had the pleasure of borrowing a kid-let for the day.  
You know how I just jumped all over that opportunity.

Needless to say, we had LOTS of activities and fun things planned.

This is sweet Jasline.  She is crazy!!

We played squirt guns with our neighbor!!


Look at that attitude...

Ethan would rather drink his ammo!!

Running around chasing each other...

Adam was working outside too..
See that ladder?  Adam was working hard on putting up siding.  I told Jasline to go squirt Adam!!  Next thing I know, I see her chasing him up the ladder and squirting him!!  Haha..it was so funny.  I helped her climb up high so that we could "get him"!!


Supper time...


Food was delicious, obviously!!


Then came dessert..
Hot Chocolate Lava Cake and Ice Cream


Jenn and Jess!!



Thankful for sweet kid-lets, yummy food, and wonderful friends!

THE END!!!
