the three musketeers

This past month Texas has experienced record breaking amounts of rain! While it's been a blessing to see the lakes full and fears of drought relieved, it's been tough having to keep the boys inside.

Especially since Daddy just bought them a new playground.  *Earlier in the year we were going on a walk and Joshua noticed a playground in someone's front yard. He asked for one since it was so cool to have your very own park in your backyard. =)

It took Kenny over two weeks to put together... after work and in between periods of rain. Joshua watched patiently, wondering if he'd EVER be able to play on it.

The long anticipated day of sunshine finally came... and it just so happened we were watching his cousins Claire and Emma.  Joshua eagerly awaited their arrival.

From the moment they arrived, the three were inseparable.

Claire has a wonderful imagination and Joshua and Emma are happy to obey all of her "commands."


First they played on the playground. They came up with the idea to pour a cup of water down first and then slide! So much fun... they came flying out!


Once they were thoroughly soaked. they moved to the trampoline to dry off. It amazed me how quickly they came up with games to play.


Their final outdoor "treat" was water guns! We told them we weren't filling them up because the ground was already so soaked. But they used puddles and Sam's bathtub to fill them anyway and had even more fun!

I'm so thankful for cousins and sunshine!!  It was an awesome day!!

**Kenny also just replaced the fence. We are LOVING the new one! The back side is taller so it blocks all of the houses and traffic noise. All we see now is trees and it's heavenly! =)
