Playing with them Boys

Listen carefully...recognize the song??? Act like you don't! 1986...the beach...a volleyball net...Maverick...Goose...Iceman...TOP GUN! I loved (well, still love!) this song and this scene in the movie to be quite honest. So when thinking about a the title for this post it only seemed fitting to add a little theme song for fun. I just couldn't resist! Don't worry I'm sure we'll be back to Jack Johnson in no time. But for now let's all just enjoy a little blast from the past...before Tom Cruise went crazy.

Ahhhhh....those were the days.

Now back to the real world where "Playing with them Boys" to me doesn't mean watching sexy, sweaty, Navy buffs play volleyball. No, no, no. It's more like making sure my little runny-nosed, sweaty, child and nephews are playing sweet and safe on the play scape and that Bailey (the dog) isn't chewing on the wrong ball. I wouldn't trade places for anything in the world, but it sure is fun to reminisce.

These pictures are from yesterday when Gabriel and Lukas came over to play for the afternoon. Gabriel will be 5 in April and Lukas will be 3 in May. Patrick has so much fun playing with his cousins. We are so lucky to all live in the same town.
