Water Fight

I live in a neighborhood thats not very "young" Infact I believe our neighborhood is the very first track home neighborhood in Surprise. I wish sometimes we lived in a neighborhood that has lots of young families. But we dont. And with this market, we are going to be here a long time.

One thing I do love about my neighborhood is the older kids. In the past few months they come to our door and are always asking Aiden to play. As soon as he hears his friends at the door, he stands up a little taller. Talks a little more mature and tries ever so hard to be cool. If I tell him he can't go outside and play he will wait till the door is shut, his friends are gone and then will cry like a baby.

I don't let him go out and play very often because it is to hard to take all 3 boys out front with no way to fence them in. Sunday was a little different. I had a rare day off and J.R. got called into work (go figure) I put the baby down for an nap and hauled the scooters out front.

After an hour of riding scooters in the hott sun the older boys decided to go buy water balloons and have a old fashion water fight.

 Aiden felt on top of the world playing with his older friends and Jax kept up with them so well!

Reid woke up just in time for the water fight. He wasn't feeling it so he played in the garage.

This is Bradly. Aiden and Jax ADORE him. He is so patient and so kind to the boys.

 Within a few minutes all the neighborhood kids must have been at our house. I was proud of the good ole fashion fun they were having. No video games, no t.v. just being outside. An hour after the water fight got started I had to put an end to it. It was after 5:00. We had been outside for over 2 hours.  It was a great time. Until Aiden came inside crying telling me I ruined his life. Really kid? When i asked him how I ruined his life he told me cause I embarrassed him in front of his friends and made him come inside. Really? It starts already?
