4th of July with Friends and Frogs????

On the 4th, we spent the evening at our friends the Meleski's for our church picnic. They live off of Hunter Road and their house sits back in the woods, so you can imagine the creatures that live there! If you know of my boys obsession with frogs, they were in frog heaven there. They love going out to Autumn and Summer's house! Above is Autumn and Camryn with a few of the many, many, many frogs the kids found that night!

The kids loved swinging on the tire swing! My in-laws have one out on their property and the boys love it too!

Watching the fireworks!!! The fireworks display was awesome, thanks to the men!!! There was a little accident near the end but thankfully no one was hurt! A canister fell over and was aimed for the house, it broke a window, God's hand was definitely protecting us!!! We had an awesome evening!

Frog Hunting Again!!!!!

We had planned today to go fishing with my dad and nephew but plans changed. Once we got to my parents house, the boys started playing basketball, then baseball and they didn't want to leave. Justin rode his bike, Jacob the motorized motorcycle and Jordan practiced baseball with his papaw. After resting in the house to cool off, the kids came back out and started frog hunting. They only found one frog but they were happy! After Jacob held him for a while, Jordan dared him to throw the frog in the neighbors pool. Of course he does what his brother says, so he tossed him right over the fence into the pool before I could say stop! They were laughing so hard, it was funny! We let him swim for a little bit and then their papaw fished him out and let him go! Of course, the mom in me made them run inside and wash up! Jacob is not afraid of anything and will pick up about anything. He's all boy!!!

Frogs, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

There is an explanation behind this crazy and hard to read background! This summer we went over to our friends Mandy and Justin's house and they live in the country/woods. The boys were totally in their element there. There was so much room to roam and a lot of things to explore. This is were their love for frogs began. At the Overton's, there are so many frogs, tiny little frogs. The boys had so much fun trying to catch them and playing with them. A relationship of sort began between my boys and frogs and they have been obsessed ever since. We do not have many frogs here in the big city of Boonville so every chance they get to go frog hunting at both their grandparents houses, they take it! This picture was taken at my parents house and this lucky frog got a spa treatment of sorts! They thought it would be fun putting him in the water and swim with him. Poor frogs! And now you understand the reason for my hard to read background! Happy frog hunting y'all!
