Summer to-do list

I thought I would end the week with my summer to-do list.  I have been thinking about all the things I would love to have done by the end of the summer, and they are...

• Finally clean out the garage.  This has been nagging me and Jamie since we have moved into our house.  It has been used as a storage/junk room for too long.  We are ready to tackle it!  This leads to the next item on my list...
• Have a garage sale.  Everything must go!
• Start and finish 3 books.  Any 3 books.  Now that I can download books to my Ipad, there is no excuse.
• Get bikes.  I can't wait to ride our bikes around the neighborhood.  Helmuts and all.
• Summer vacay.  We are heading to Florida in a couple of weeks with my family.  Hopefully the oil won't be there {stop the spill!}, but we will definitely make the best of it no matter what.
• Movie under the stars.  I have always wanted to watch a movie under the moonlight sitting on a lawn and this year, they are putting one on in Graywood.  Doesn't get much better than a drive-in movie from your golf cart with family and friends!
• Host a jewelry party.
• Lay out by the pool all by myself with only my headphones and a magazine.  This one might not actually happen, but it's still on my list!
• Get involoved in a sport.  I love to walk, but I'm really wanting to play tennis or take a beginners yoga class {very, very, very beginners}.
• Sort through Grayson's toys and closet and organize everything.  At this point, our house looks like a daycare.  
• Mommy-and-Me dance classes.  This one I am most excited about!  I have already signed me and Gray up for ballet/tap classes offered this summer.  It should be interesting to say the least, but I can't wait to see my little man dance around.  I don't have to worry that he won't dance because he will.  He will be all over the place, which will be great exercise for mommy.  
• Go the movies in the middle of the day to see a sappy, girly, romantic movie even if I have to go all by myself.  Okay, this one probably won't happen either, but a girl can dream, right?
• Take the kids to the zoo. 
• Have a picnic with the family on the golf course.  Before babies, Jamie and I would go out on the golf course overlooking the water as the sun set, and have a picnic.  It has been too long!
• See a few outdoor concerts.  When I think of summer, I think of outdoor concerts.  There is nothing better.  Through a dear friend, we got tickets to see Jack Johnson {one of our favs} in Houston in August.  Can.Not.Wait.
• Have family portraits taken.  
• Figure out a way to travel with Grayson since he has recently learned to climb out of his pack-and-play.  
• Build a "mini" garden.  Since we don't really have the room for a large garden, we plan on building small boxes and planting a few vegetables.  This is very exciting for me because I do not know how to grow anything.  Anything.

So there you have it.  It should be a very exciting summer for our family.  And last, but not least, a few photos.

This boy has a car in his hands at all times.  The first thing he does in the mornings when I get him out of his crib is look for his cars.  The second, is look for Brees {or Bees as Gray would say}.

Brees by his side.

On a slightly different note...

I would also like to share photos from Alex's superhero birthday party.  It turned out great!  I'm a little late {since the party was in May}, but it is well worth sharing.  He especially l.o.v.e.d. his cake!

Have a great weekend!  We are headed to Bella and Papa Asa's for the weekend.  The grandkids always get so spoiled there so I should have lots to post about!
