Do you mind???

Hopefully you don't mind picture overload!!! I love the summer and we are in full swing of having a blast at our house! We are always on the go...which is sometimes good and sometimes not so good...but for the most part we are enjoying all that is going on...Enjoy...

T-Ball 2008
The kids had a blast!! They were able to be on the same team and had the best coaches of all!!! Daddy and our good friend Rob! Thanks guys for all of the hard work and long hours!! :)



The best team of the season!! These kids were so cute and we had a blast cheering for them. Thanks to all our friends and family who withstood the long hours of t-ball. At least their were plenty of laughs to go around.
Logan running to 3rd...look at how hard he is pushing himself!!!!

Made it!!! He was so proud of how far he could hit the ball!!!

Victoria rounding 3rd base. She did better than any of us expected!! I was proud of her...even if she did have to stop at each base and make sure it was straight and cleaned off. :)

She loves to smile!!!!

Logan wondering what he could do to get that little girls attention... :)

Victoria up to bat!!
Church Potlucks and Playgrounds!!!
Recently our church put up a new playground. The kids first started raising money for it about a year ago when we moved to the new church building...I believe they raised about $1000. So the church took an offering and we were able to purchase the playground! Our church is awesome and the people there are SO giving!!! We had a potluck with an early evening service the first Sunday that the playground was up and "running"

Dylan looking through at everyone!!!
The final product! The kids all love it and it is so nice to have something for them to play on!!


Victoria and Logan trying out the climbing wall...

Jared, Melissa and Dylan chilln' in the nursery.
4th of July Festivities!!!

The week before the 4th of July our Sunday School class got together to light off some fireworks then on the 4th we ended up at our house for a picnic and then off to see the fireworks...

Logan and his dirty face...how do they do it???

Victoria and her friends with the sparklers!!

More sparklers!! They were all a bit nervous at first!! My goodness we tell them to stay away from fire and then once a year we hand it to them to hold. I would be confused. :)

Logan did pretty good with them!

The picnic at our house...i didn't get any picture but this one...

The girls and the treasures they found while we waited for the fireworks to begin.

Logan and his buddy! They found all sorts of treasures!
The girls were freezing and weren't to sure of the noise!!

The boys watching the fireworks...
4th of July camping weekend!!!
We headed out to the campground for a beautiful weekend of camping!! The weather was awesome and we had a great time with family! Kevin's brother Todd come out with the kids one night. Victoria and Logan really enjoyed that!
Logan and Daddy working on his Tonka sticker book.


Victoria loves to do workbooks. She calls them homework...but nonetheless she works very hard at it and could sit for hours working on them. I found some that were an inch thick at Sams...it is taking her a bit longer to get through it. :)

Time for breakfast...what a perfect morning!!!


Here are Victoria, Logan and their cousins enjoying lunch together. We don't get to see Todd's kids to often so when we do I try to make sure they get to all play together as long as possible.


Logan and his cousin Noah.

Victoria and her two cousins...McKenzie and Leah.


S'mores time...Victoria wanted to do it all on her own!!!


She was so proud that she made it all on her own!!!

Logan loves S'mores!!!

So that is what we have been up to lately!! Not to much, really. Kevin continues to stay busy and I am continuously happy for him. Praise the Lord!!
He will be 30 this next week. I have had 3 different surprises for him. One he figured out and the other two just didn't happen because of timing issues. Oh well. Thank goodness for a understanding husband!! We will spend Saturday together and then hopefully dinner with some of our good friends and family!!!

Looks like you guys had a great time. We were hopping to see you around town on the 4th, but I guess you stayed on "your end" of Bago.

Wow, you guys are truly getting the most out of your summer!!! And no, you can never overload us with pictures! Your kiddos are too cute! Chloe didn't get the sparkler thing this year . . . she was way too afraid when we lit one up. Maybe in a few more years.
