Bring on the Summer

Summer has arrived! (do you like how it went from the 40's to 70's to 80's all in like 2 weeks or something??) We've been taking advantage of the sunshine. We've had several picnics, outings to the park, walks and just plain old running around outside. It's been awesome. I know it is somewhat short lived, because soon it will be too hot to be outside during the day unless you're in or being splashed by cool water. In the meantime....we're going to live up this lifestyle!

Park Playing!Um, so I'm pretty sure I've got some of the cutest kids ever as nephews and nieces. Addie LOVES her cousins!

Cute baby NixonHe slept most of the time, but I was able to snap a shot of him awake when he decided to eat.

Baby Evan pretty much just did this the whole time....isn't he a sweetie?

Don't be jealous of Beckam's physique...he works out
The splash pad part of the park was open, but it wasn't super warm yet so I didn't think about having the kids bring swimming suits. No worries, Beckam just requested to be shirtless and Addie and Deacon just played and got wet fully clothed. That's part of the fun right?
Addie kept saying "I'm a little bit wet!"

BBQ-ing it up
We've been long awaiting the weekend it would be nice enough out to grill up some delicious food and hang with our neighbor friends. Yay it finally happened! These three girls are so cute...all only a month apart.
I'm sure they were having some awesome conversations.

Sharing Lucy's daddy's lap....Addie seriously LOVES Jordan.

Then the girls convinced Brian to push them up and down the hill in Addie's car. They even wanted to help him out....actually come to think of it, I started pushing them in it and was quickly demoted. Daddies are cooler I guess


A little baking too....well no-bake baking
Took a small break from outside to make some peanut butter bars on Sunday. Addie loves to help me bake. As you can see, she makes sure that it's good before we go sharing it. Don't you love her cute little apron? Jed's co-worker Pam made it for her and she loves it- so darling!

Then it was back to picnic in the park today!
Addie and Max had a ball and wore themselves out. They both came back to our house and crashed.


Happy 60th Anniversary Darrell and Lynette! (aka Gram and Gramp)
We got to spend the evening tonight at the Timbermine celebrating with them and had a wonderful time.
We love you and are blessed to have you as examples in our lives!


Seems like summer time is full of parties, get-togethers and endless fun. We're SO ready this year. We can't wait for camping, fireworks, swimming, and all the other summer time stuff!
