Sometimes life is just a walk in the park...

I absolutely LOVE days when we get to play together-

Enjoy the pictures Rhett. I am too tired to write anything clever tonight!

 Poor Carter was leaning over the edge to feed the ducks and he flipped over the bar. He was lucky that he didn't end up in the water, but he did slam his cheek into the bar.

Ouch! Poor little guy.

Other than the minor accident it was such a great day spending time together. It was a blast to feed the fish and birds and I just LOVE LOVE my kids. I am so thankful for them everyday.

BOYS play rough... be thankful for GIRLS!

I feel like my little boys keep getting hurt because they play too rough..... and are extremely clumsy. 

Poor Taylor ate it down the stairs while trying to carry his scooter back down. Ouch!! I asked him why he even had it up there and his reply was, "I needed to see if I could ride it from my bedroom to the bathroom so I wouldn't have an accident." Okay, crazy!

I came home from volleyball to this the other night... Carter was wrestling with some friends on the trampoline and got a knee to the eye. Poor guy. 

The next day it was still swollen and sore. :( I did brighten his day when I said he could stay home from school for a day. I was worried he would get a headache from only seeing out of one eye.

I regretted letting him stay home about 3 minutes into the day. lol He just wanted me to entertain him all day!

Another difference between the twins-

They both love to shed their clothes and run outside to play, BUT the mosquitoes LOVE Hunter and rarely bite Ryker. Also, my poor Hunter is allergic to them and swells up pretty good. I guess it's time to bust out the bug spray! 

Inside Time-

Well, the last post I showed you a little bit about what was going on outside. This post is strictly dedicated to what we were doing inside.

Complete Chaos-

We did give Mommy a small break and took a nap with her when the power went out.

Laundry Hamper Rides-

Hide and Seek- 

 

Riding our scooters in our underwear- 

We also watched movies, baked cookies, and played Mario Bros together. I kind of like the family time, but am so OVER TYPHOONS. In fact, tonight while I was at volleyball my trampoline took out the neighbors fence. I feel so bad. They just barely re-cemented everything from the last typhoon. 

P.S

Rhett- I need you to come home and cut the kids nails. They are getting long! :)

Typhoon Jelewat Choas

We have had a typhoon almost every other weekend for the last 6 weeks and I am SO OVER IT. 

The last typhoon was by far the worst one we have seen on this little island. It caused so much damage to trees, and CARS. Here are a few pictures so I can remember what they were like when we don't live here anymore.

 

Lots and lots of cars damaged. A lot of them flipped over and all the cars in most of the parking lots all slid into each other. 

No Cable-

Lots of trampolines broken.

Very few sheds left undamaged-

This is our backyard. I made sure to sandbag the trampoline really well, but our large tree in fell over breaking a few of the legs. :( I had a couple people think about our family though and a few people brought over some new legs from some of the other damaged tramp and I was able to fix it.

Unfortunately, when the workers came to cut up the tree they did the chainsaw on the mat of the tramp. It was meant to be. 

We also lost the BBQ grill this time. 

Here's a couple pictures of the tree we lost. Taylor was so BUMMED. This was his tree. 

It was a long, windy, rainy couple of days and I'm glad it's over. It's hard to entertain kids for days in the house. We have another one that is suppose to hit in 2 days. :(

Happy Birthday to ME-

First I need to wish my wonderful mother in law a very Happy Birthday today! We love and miss you so much and hope you had a very great day!

I have to be honest... I was a little sad that Rhett wasn't going to be here for my birthday. I thought for sure it would just a a random day and nobody would even know it was my day! BOY WAS I WRONG. Everyone made the day so special for me.

A friend picked up my kids and took them to a babysitter and we went and got out toes done together. Afterwards a few more of the girls met us for a yummy lunch of sushi! Yummy!

Another friend picked me up some delicious dessert from Chilis and brought it over.

Rhett had contacted one of our best friends and had her pick up an amazing ice cream cake and beautiful roses.

Another friend brought me over some flowers

And I ended the night eating dinner at another friend's house so I didn't have to cook.

It was such a great day and I really felt loved. It was still hard not to have my best friend here to celebrate it with me, BUT thank you everyone who made it such a special day! I really appreciate everything!
