august...

has been a whirlwind...already.

I'm so behind on posts it's humorous. I'm tempted to give it up and not document the last month and a half but too many great things have happened to not record them.

So...I'll be spending the next few posts trying to catch up.

For now, I'm posting on some of our happenings in August.

It will be a few pics (of the hundreds I have) but it will have to do.

SWIMMING (with cousins & friends)
Uncle "Ion" (aka Ryan) is lots of fun & Hunter LOVES to play with him...

Cousin Sawyer was a bit timid at first but smiled sooo big going down the slide and into the pool...

Why is pool water always soooo cold??!

These two are going to be a handful...but for now, they are two peas in a pod.

Smiling with Aunt "Kenny" (aka Kendra, who we often call "Kendy")

And now for our friend, Avery. She is already set to marry another little boy but all I have to say is, "watch your back, Jack." :)




BBQ's
We got together with friends to welcome back Nate, who was deployed for 4 months, and spent the evening enjoying each other's company and kiddos. Nate, Lindsay, & Alyssa live in Washington so it was a treat to have everyone together. 8 adults & 6 kids. It was so fun.
The girls danced around the boys...

and played in the grass...

while the boys played ball and wrestled in the park (the girls may have snuck in the photo).


Such a fun and relaxing night!

"Uncle Dave" won cutest photo of the evening...

but I am still really bummed that we didn't get a photo of all the ladies and all the guys. Somehow, those photos never seem to be a priority. It may have something to do with the fact that there were six kids around :)

Lots more but that's all I'll bore you with...for now. My wonderful friend Julie (and her cutie-pie son, Ori) came for a visit at the end of July and I have LOTS of photos of their visit to blog about. I think those will be coming up next...
