Who needs a pool when you have tarps?

I will have to admit that from time to time in this Texas heat, I've missed the pool at our house in Austin. But, Josh found a way for him and his brothers to keep cool yesterday. Get all the old tarps out of the garage and a hose and you're good to go! Being boys, just 'slipping and sliding' didn't last long before they were trying to come up with new and inventive ways to 'slip and slide'. Ski ropes, skateboards without wheels and even a four wheeler were mentioned. I had to nix the last option. What a non-understanding mom I am. But, with a little 'boy power' they were able to propel themselves pretty good!

He's Grrreat!

Lucky Josh! He has been hanging out with 900 cheerleaders for the past 4 days, was able to go onto the UT football field as a mascot and has gotten a small glimpse of college dorm life. We were able to get a sneak-peek at what he has been learning all week when we went to see the "mascot follies" this morning. He, and 24 other mascots put on a full routine which was really funny. Connor and I were able to pick Josh out right away by his 'moves' and solidified that is was DEFINITELY Josh when he was the only mascot clapping on the downbeat. Now that's my son! Go get em' Tiger!!
