Summer Fun

School's out and it's time for some summer fun! Here are a few random pics from summer time!

We celebrated Madilyn's high school graduation with a big Sunday lunch. So proud of her!

Lots of swimming in Nana and Papa's pool.

And a little swimming in our blow up pool...haha...hey, they loved it!

We spent a lot of time at "the climby place".  It's a small climbing area in a local church that the boys love to go to.

Swimming time with Colton and Carson!





Caleb had to get a tooth pulled a got a large popcorn bag as a prize from momma. :-)

We enjoyed some fireworks at a friend's pool. The kids look forward to it. See Ethan in the bright orange hiding in the pool? ;-)




Mondo worked hard all morning on July 4th to cook us some great BBQ chicken!

Mmmmm!

All of the critters enjoying some BBQ.

We ate at Freddy's for the first time with their buds Maddie and Tyler. Fun time and yummy food!

Caleb approved of the yummy gummy worm ice cream.

The boys begged and begged for a lemonade stand...so I finally caved. It was SO HOT! We didn't have a lot of business but they still had fun.

Caleb relaxing by the pool at tennis camp.

Caleb and Maddie enjoying some floaty time.

As you can see, there was a lot of pool time for these four!

End of 2nd and 5th Grade

The school year flew by! We were blessed with some great teachers. Caleb's 2nd grade teacher was his all time favorite. We loved her too. He had a great little group of classmates. Ethan really enjoyed 5th grade. He seemed to grow up a little this year. I guess they gave them a little more independence since they were the bigger kids in school. Here are some pics from their Award Ceremonies and end of school parties.

Ready for the 5th grade party!




Getting autographs from classmates.

Photo booth time!

Pin the mustache on the teacher.

Chips and phone time...can't get better than that!



Then they headed outside for a water balloon toss. Fun!

Last day of school pic!
