Fun!

Last week the kids and I headed to Washington for our annual Twin Lakes trip. It was a great trip and after about 5 years, we finally got some good weather! Lexi and Jace have really missed their cousins and it's crazy how much they grow in a year's time.

Lincoln, Max, Sadie, Jens, Maren, Natalie, Lexi, Katrina

These two were born only a week apart...aren't they cute??? Jillian and Sadie with Bryan

Natalie, Maren, Lexi, Jens

This was a highlight of the trip. Grandpa pulling three bike trailors behind...while the kids sang "All the single ladies" and "you spin me right round"...Grandpa the IRONMAN!

SNUGGLES!

Sticks!

Fourth of July Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Our favorite friends from New York (Austyn, Dustin, & Brody) came down to see us. Their car had been having troubles so we weren't sure if they were going to make it...but they did, only for their car to break down right when they got here...at least they made it! It was a great, enjoyable, relaxing, fun weekend!

Saturday morning we left all the kiddos with a babysitter so we could go out for breakfast

They had fun painting

We also headed to the pool and the park this day, but I didn't take any pics.
On Sunday, Auntie Austyn made cookies with the kiddos...look at Brody's cute face peeking over the side

That night we headed into the city to see the fireworks. Brody and Jace having a good time

Aren't we more beautiful than our college years...HAHAH...well Austyn is, and look at her cute baby bump!

The fireworks were great...for some reason I remember them lasting a lot longer a few years ago. It was perfect amount of time for the kids though and they all fell peacefully asleep on the way home. Thanks Austyn and Dustin for coming to see us!
