Summer Memories!

Summer is quickly coming to an end, but here are a few photos of what we've been up to.

Miss R has been baking lots of pancakes and even involves her siblings.  I love this sight in the morning!

4th of July in overalls!

Time at Grandma's watering her plants.

Playing with cousins

Being cute

My dear dear friend is having her first baby!  She is so beautiful pregnant!

We were able to buy a new-to-us wooden play set for the kids.

Goggles!

We've had a cooler summer.  More chances to wear overalls!  =)

Playing with rummage sale finds. 

Miss R got her first pair of heels.  And that is nail polish on the carpet, thank you Mr G. =)

The girls and I went with my parents to see my cousin get married.

We got to stay in a hotel...Miss O was thrilled!  At the wedding she told me she was crying she was so happy.

My parents

The girls danced the night away.  I was a little worried about my dad...Miss O was quite the dance partner!

Sisters

The big 3 had swimming lessons 4 days a week for 4 weeks.

Mr G hung out with me and our neighbors while the big kids swam.  He ate a lot of granola bars!

That's Miss R at the end of the slide!

Besides what you can see in the pictures, we've enjoyed trips to the library, the park, playing daily with our neighbors, Vacation Bible School, and piano lessons for the girls.  Jared takes Miss R for a bike ride almost every night.  It's their special time together.  We finished the first third of our new school year.  Miss R has been learning to bake and cook.  Miss O has been wearing an eye patch one hour a day.  She also enjoys "Mr. Sun" and pretending to fly.  Mr. N has enjoyed playing outside in his cozy coupe and mowing the lawn with his toy mower.  Mr G has been growing and jumping and running and has too many bumps and bruises to count!  And then of course every time he falls down he gets up and does it again!  Our life is full and I love it and am thankful!
