Summer trip to SC

For some reason, this drive keeps getting longer (like we have three crazies in our car or something!) We had a great whirlwind trip back home and hope to make it there again this year!

                                  Pool time with cousins in the bath water it was so warm!

                                         Sharing popsicles with Ben

                                  How come only the girls look normal here?

Best. Picture. Ever. Thanks Grandma Sherri. 

 We got to have lunch and catch up with my friend from middle school-Laura and her baby Earl

                                                               Rough life

                                                 Dancing machine

Andrew even kayaked alone and then wanted to do it all weekend

                                                       Playing UNO with Grandma

                     Catching up with one of my oldest friends, from 2nd grade-Angie, and her three littles (and a nephew)

                         My boys will take off their shirts at any given time. This wasn't even shirts vs. skins

 This was right before Ryan threw a pinecone at a lady driving down the street....

Happy Father's Day 2015

Throwing it back old school with some pictures of my pops and I.  Growing up I don't think you think much about if your parents are "good" parents. You just want to be loved. And watched. And played with. And prayed for. And in the end, I think that is what makes a good parent anyway. As a parent, I think we constantly think we are screwing our kids up (at least I do!)

 Happy Father's Day to this man who does it all-loves, plays with, prays and watches. On top of all those other husbandly duties. We love you Chris!

2nd Grade Picnic

Very similar to a field day (except parents run the games), Andrew had his picnic. It's really fun and a lot of parents come out to picnic with their kids.

And then you get to go home early with your parents-what could be better!

Last Day of 2nd Grade!

This seems like it has been the longest and shortest school year all wrapped up together!! Andrew made a sweet note for his teacher (and his bus drivers-but I forgot to snap a picture). 

He is really starting to lose his baby face:( He is sad school is over, but I am sure will enjoy summertime!
