Big Whoop
So, I've overheard it a few trillion times with the children watching it

things we love about summer:

#1. It's always fun to have Aunt Karri around. She's always so supportive and we love it!
Funny Otter Pop Faces!!!

#2. DUH SWIMMING
it's my favorite past time I think...well, not actually the partaking of the water, but the laying beside it. We love eachother, the sun and I.

Thanks for the invite to the best pool ever Ange!!! We shall meet again!haloooo!!! we got a new camera, and the underwaterness of it is superb!!!! i was a bit timid of placing it fully in the water in the beginning, but now, it ain't no thang. shoot.

seriously....such posers i have for children

#3. Run Chicken Little, Run
after realizing Max has fantastical baseball skills at gma's backyard, we decided to get him on a team to showcase his sweet moves....love it!

and so do the little ladies- you always curtsy at baseball games, don'tcha know!

#4. no, we don't love friends moving, but we love to play with friends!
And we've got to get some serious playing in with these cute ones before they leave us for Idaho (bbbbllllppppp) soon :(
So, we began our June festivities with some swimming and it ruled, course!

it was a bit chilly, but they braved it for love

#6 staying up late and getting the gigglies

apparently making "crazy taters" is HIL-AIR-EE-US!such joy

such rapture

#7. BBQ with the neighborhood whilst still in swimsuit attire

#8 outdoor movies with the peeps of the neighborhood, in the dark, in jammies, on the lawnjust a couple of our neighborsSo fun for the kids....and the big people too- Lind and I were laughing our heads off at my rockin outfit, and my huge piggy tails!- I know, i know, you wanna see, but that's for us to know...it will stay on the patch

i think by the time the movie was over, Max had inhaled 48 oreos. HEAVEN for this one I tell ya. He also decided to narrate the first 5 minutes of the movie to whoever was willing to listen- talking the loudest he possibly could, laughing his head off, and there wasn't anyone sharing his blanket.....it was so funny, and so loud- how rude Max!

cuddles with friends

earlier that day we embarked on a new adventure for Haggies. SWIMMING!

#9- witnessing the baby's first swim

this was post nap, and food. she was handling the water mas better at this point.

Con talked Ben into a few dunkaroos....Ben, you really can say no, I promise.

and some day, Sawyer will learn to smile for pictures, until then.....we shall deal....
