NYC Friends visit and Happy 4th of July

Andrew and Ryan's BFF's from NYC, came for a visit. The boys were so excited and had a great time together. We had lots of fun playing here, went to the aquarium, the reservoir and the pool. See you in NYC next time!

                                                     Bird Watching

Ryan didn't want to sit there, in front of the sharks...

                                                  Pool time!

The 4th ended up being really rainy and nasty, but by the end of the day the rain stopped so we got to play outside for a little bit. 

                               Jake bubbles to wash off all the chalk-

Fireworks were postponed so we went the next night with our friends James and Henry. All was well until Ryan's hand got slammed in the jeep door...nothing broken luckily!

                   We hope you all had a great 4th and are enjoying your summers so far!

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....
