Our Summer So Far!!

Started out relaxing....and then got busy!  But we have been having fun!!

Father's Day, helping Mark open presents the kids made.

 Happy for sunshine!

 Busy day and no nap means sleeping at dinner!

 VBS has come and gone and it was a great year again!  My sister and her kids and one of my other nephews came to help out, so it was a fun filled week.

 Boys being boys....enjoying screen time

 Went to Momo and Papa's house for a fire pit bbq

 Bringing back memories and making new ones

 Loving watermelon

 Getting ready for a day at VBS

 Fun with tie dye

 Little helper

 Homemade huckleberry ice cream....yum!

 Cute picture with cousin Ryan

 Showing off our tie dye results (I thought they were awesome!!)

 After VBS was done, it was time for strawberry picking!

 Enough for lots of freezer jam and some for eating!!

 Cute bum

 Having fun with his ladybug friend (look closely)

 This summer, we made a jar filled with things that would be fun to do during the summer.  Our first one picked was going to the Riverfront Park fountain.  The kids had a great time!

 We even attempted the big red wagon slide, but it was WAY too hot for our bums!!

 Then, last Wednesday night, we headed to the cabin for a great 4th of july weekend

 Teasing with Grandpa Great

 1st tube ride for Hayden and Lilly.  They thought it was great!

 Bath time in the sink

 Pretending to be bumblebees with straws.

 Happy to be fed by Auntie (Home made raspberry sorbet)

 The last day, Grace decided that she didn't want to lay down for a nap, so she finally gave in on Auntie Colleen's lap!

 Cousins

 This summer, we have had a robin build her nest in our pergola.  It has been great watching the process of the nest being built, the eggs being laid, and then hatched.  Now the birds have feathers and we see the mom feeding them all the time!

Hayden also has been learning how to ride his bike!!  We are still working on the stopping part, but he's doing a great job with balance!!!
