we spent the fourth of july in rockport. this year we bought a slip n slide...ahhh i can still remember my days on the fun, yellow slide. remember the one? it was really long, you had to put in about 20 stakes to hold it down and then you could slide all day? hmmmm...not anymore. now a days someone somewhere got real "fancy" with the slip n slide and while it looks real purtty...it doesn't slide so much. no stakes needed,not real long..by the time your belly hits the slide your done...no running start needed(which was half the fun might i add), its got a little pool at the bottom which is fine...but we have a blow up pool...we want to slide....it also took a doctor,a computer guru, a banker, and a 4year old to figure it out...we want the old, basic, run of the mill, 20 stake, running needed, slippery, wet slip n slide back! I know its the age of "modern'' and "new" but some things are better left the way they are!!! we ended up having fun anyway. i posted a picture of michael demonstrating "how its done"...he won't be thrilled that i've posted it, but how could i not?
the first three pictures below is what i saw when i looked out our window on sunday morning. trey had blessed us that morning at 530 ready to play..so michael being sweet, let me sleep in and took trey outside. when i opened the door i heard them just chatting away...michael talking to trey about the water, the boats, learning to jet ski one day and trey ''oohhing and ahhing" in response...what i wouldn't have given for my video camera...(i had it with me but neglected to charge the battery..ugg). the first pic is foggy but as the morning progresses it becomes a nice picture. my two favorite boys in the whole world. trey i want you to know that your daddy loves you so much. he talks to you all the time,i never imagined michael being able to just make up words and "chitter chatter" but with you he is a new person. going to work is hard for him and he calls us all the time probably 4 or 5 times a day and when he is home he is ALL ABOUT YOU. you are daddy's ''trey-man foo"

I love the pics of Trey, especially with the tongue and hat...he looks like an adorable paddington bear. Happy 4th of July!
