Summertime Pictures

What a CRAZY Summer. Moving, remodeling, yard work and lots of family time. It was BUSY BUSY BUSY! But still very fun! We love our new home out in the country!

Blueberry Picking

 

Always a favorite activity in the Summer time! Heidi likes it too so went together!!! Always fun times with the James' around!!!

July 4th

Another FABULOUS 4th of July! Beautiful weather, great company, great food and awesome fireworks! We LOVE this holiday!!!!!

Before the fun started I wanted to make sure to get a family photo. Callie snapped a few pics for us.

Probably my favorite picture of the day. These two KILL me. They are just so cute together. Wesley loves his cousin Avin so much. They get along so well. They are two peas in a pod!

Baylor spent a large portion of his day trading Garbage Pail Kids with Cohen, Nathan and Cody. These boys are OBSESSED! When they weren't trading, Baylor was walking around with his binder under his arm!

Bentley was loving the flags. He got much pleasure out of waving the flags and hitting people with them. He is quite the stinker these days. He gets away with it though... just look at that face!

Could Ivrie be any cuter?? No!

Pool time with the Foltz family... our docters. :)

It was so awesome having the James Family in town for the 

4th this year!!

All I wanted was a picture of the three boys in their matching swimsuits. Is that too much to ask?! YES! Yes it was. Oh well... this is the best I got!

The day gets better and better as it goes on.... Dessert time might be as good as the firework show!

Kid fireworks at the Mays before we head over to the Foltz for the big show. This part of the day is cute, but tends to stress me out a little. Tons of kids and fire just doesn't seem like a good combo... but, that's what the 4th is all about!

Out of all the fun that was had, Baylor said playing in the Sandbox at the Foltz was his favorite. These boys were digging their little hearts out. 

Block Party

Me and my neighbors have been talking about doing a block party for years, so we decided to squeeze one in before the rain comes! It was super rainy in the morning so we were worried we'd have to cancel but we kept our fingers crossed and the weather dried up! My neighbor Linda brought balloons for balloon hats and swords. Her daughter and Logan did face painting. Everyone BBQ'd and we had salads, desserts and ice cream cones. The kids ran around and played and the adults had fun chatting. I'm hoping this can be a new neighborhood tradition!

 Baylor and one of his best little buds, Ethan Rowe. Baylor calls him 'Methan' and Ethan calls him 'Dad'... it's a funny game they play I guess.

 Kendall and Sanni dishing up ice cream cones.

 I LOVED Ethan's burger he made... 

a brownie sandwiched between two cookies. 

 Logan was busy all night face painting!

 This was a very popular design!

Goodbye Summer

It was a fun, busy, hot Summer! I'm sad to see it go! These are just a few of my favorite snapshots from my iphone. Can't believe how far they've come with the picture quality on cell phones!!

 We went to Tropical Smoothie at least twice a week. They have a drive through... which is PERFECT for me... I am OVER getting kids in and out of the car! My boys were THRILLED to meet the Tropical Smoothie maskot! (Okay I was too!)

 Of course we spent tons of time and Grandma and Grandpa May's swimming and running around.

The ice cream man doesn't come every day so when he does come we will usually let the boys get something. It's pretty much the most exciting thing ever. Wesley gets what I always got when I was little... the snow cone. I don't know why, they really aren't that good!

We LOVE family bike rides. Wesley can't always make it... Bentley is just the sweetest brother giving him a squishy shoulder to lean on.

It was a happy Summer Indeed!!!
