Let the Crazy Summer Begin...

So starts another summer, this one more crazy than the last. Full of weekend trips, birthday parties and sprinkler running outside. Also more laundry, due to 3 boys and mud, more tears due to teething and lots of wrestling and yet even more tears. What am was I thinking having kids so close together!
The three boys have taken to wresting each other to the death, or whoever starts to cry uncontrollably, and chasing eat other around the house on ride on toys, and then ramming each other with them until I swear there should be chunks of ride on toys flying everywhere... durable little things they are!
So for a bit of an update, Jaxon and Canaan are now 19 months!! 19 MONTHS! Where has this time gone, they get into EVERYTHING, always go in opposite directions and are eating me out of house and home! They eat almost an adult portion at every meal EACH! And still weigh only 20 pounds. (Trace was 28 by now!). Trace is in swimming lessons and although he loves the water he seems to have problems with authority... go figure.. and listening to his teacher, so we will wait until Sept due to vacations and put him back in! Trace has made some new friends with the neighbor girls across the street and even stayed there for dinner one day. He was pretty proud of what a big boy he is! He is also totally potty trained... no pull ups no diapers ... thank goodness!!! One less diaper to change.. the twins are NOWHERE near being ready!
So as we are heading into the long weekend and heading up to Shushwap lake we look forward to NO rest... and relaxation due to the water front lot my parents have.. but instead we look forward to life jackets, splashing in the water swimming with the twins and Trace, boating, chasing the twins, chasing Trace falling asleep early and exhausted and with HUGE smiles on our faces!
