Kids Day Out

As Moms and Kids we met once a week all summer long to go on field trips. We went to the zoo, parks, beaches, pools.... It was always fun and gave the Moms something to do each week that was enjoyable and exciting and the kids had other kids to play with so they didn't kill their siblings over summer break.

4th of July

This year for the 4th Matt's sister Melissa and family came to spend a couple of days with us. Of course I don't have pictures of cousins anywhere but online at Shutterfly. One thing at a time - first the blog and then my pics for scrapping in order. Our town does fireworks for several nights so it was awesome to be able to go to fireworks on the 3rd come back to the house, sleep in and then go to the parade and have a cookout, goof around together and still both be able to get in at a decent hour with our children so we could go to church the next morning. On the actual 4th as soon as it was dark the girls did some sparklers and we called it a night. We love having our cousins and Aunt and Uncle so close (neices and nephew and sister and brother-in-law). It is most awesome in every way :-)

Hairdos and Kisses

One day after doing a new (to me) hair style on all three girls I said I wanted to take a picture. They of course got really silly and started kissing each other. Within 15 minutes Uncle Judd and Nanny Jen called and we were out the door ready to meet up at the beach. It was a good way to make a hot summer day pass. We had a picnic, played at the park, swam, played in the sand and then capture the flag. It was a great summer day filled with family, fun and cuteness.
