Summer Sun Lovers♥

Kaitlyn and Colin are soaking up the sun (with sunblock of course:)) and LOVING every minute of summer♥ I have just updated the blog with a TON of posts! Please make sure when you get to the bottom that you click on "older posts" on the right side so you don't miss out on all of the fun pics I posted!! I have taken so many cell phone pics so excuse the terrible quality on some of them:) Enjoy!

2 wheelers!!

They are officially off! NO MORE training wheels!! Here are the kids just starting off with Cam holding just their backs....it only took TWO minutes and they were off......


My 2 big kids!!!



Some videos of the kids in action! I was a little excited in case you couldn't tell my my screams:)







Kayla & Gregs Wedding

Cams cousin Kayla got married this weekend. We had a nice time at the wedding and it was great seeing our family!! Auntie Jill, Uncle Craig, and my handsome nephews Jay and Reid! I cant believe how big they are getting...makes Auntie Stacey feel very old:)
Grandma and Papa with their grandtwins:)

In between the church and reception Colin, Kaitlyn, Everett & Ike were having fun on Cams ipad.

Cheese!!

Nice silly face Colin:) Everett was the ring bearer and he did a great job and looked so cute walking down the isle!

My wonderful sister in laws Jill, Jolene and Rachel!! I am SO lucky!!

Congrats Kayla and Greg!!!

They did a bouquet, garter and then a "candy toss" for the kids. K & C thought was super cool!!

Everett definitely came out big in the candy toss with Hershey kisses:)

Kaitlyn and Daddy dancing the night away:)

Having fun the next morning in the hotel room. K & C were upset that we didnt have the "fun room" like Ike and Everett since they had bunk beds:)


Strawberry Picking

We had so much fun strawberry picking with Hayley and Ashleigh a few weeks ago!








Found the perfect berry! YUM!!





We picked several lbs of strawberries and lets just say they didnt last very long at our house:)



Great Papa & Great Grandma Betty

My grandpa (the kids Great Papa) has been ill. My parents went out to San Diego last week to visit with him. The great grandkids took a pic with a sign to give to him. My mom blew it up and framed it so he could have it by his bed since he is not mobile anymore:( Here are a few pics of Great Papa and Great Grandma Betty! We love you both and miss you so much!!
My mom, dad and his dad:)



Aunts are the best!!

Kaitlyn HAD to get this shirt! She just loves her Aunties so this shirt is dedicated to all of them!! Thanks Auntie Kelly for taking Kaitlyn on a special date for a pedicure!!!
Pretty toes!!


Fun with Friends!!

We have been having quite the busy but fun summer. Here are some pics from our fun with friends! We had our first sleepover with Madi a few weeks ago!! The kids did great and passed the "test" so we said they could have more:) A day at Woodstock Water Works!

Arlington RaceTrack

We had such a fun time at Arlington Racetrack for our annual July 2nd fireworks with the Harveys. This year we extended it to our families and had so much fun! Thanks so much to Cindi for getting us box seats again this year!!!
Watching the races!







Grandma and her grandtwins:)

Papa and his princess!

Daddy helping the kids pics their horses so they could bet:)

Placing their bets!

Kaitlyn was a winner!!!

Group pic....how cute are they in their matching outfits!!

We honestly did NOT plan to all wear turquoise!! Great minds think alike I guess:)

Waiting for sundown to watch the 3-D fireworks! For those of you who havent been to the track for their fireworks you are missing out. They are INCREDIBLE! They book up fast if you want box seats so we plan to call in April so we dont miss out like we almost did this year! We look forward to many more years of this tradition!!
