Real Life: Summer has begun busy!

Summer has begun busy!

I can't say how many times I wanted to sit down and write on this blog lately. Other things are just more demanding. We've been so, so busy with graduation and then right away going to Sunset Ridge for Memorial Day Weekend. Then to come home to tons of laundry, yard work and weeds to pull, I didn't take the time to blog. Having the kids home from school now requires extra dishes in the sink and lunch preparations. Now for enough of excuses, here goes. :)

These older kids got the biggest kick out of going in the baby high chairs.

Colson, Ashlyn and Ava = FUN! They collected so many willy worms all weekend!

Mike and Hadassah having a conversation on the front porch.

All the kids. It's the first and only year that we, all six couples, have four children! Martha Rose is pregnant and will be bringing her baby with us next time. :)

Martha again provided fun for the kids!!! I just wish my pictures would have gotta better here. :/

These two ... have a total blast together!!!

Girl funny faces!

So cute!

Mike and 'little man'.

Lots of fun volleyball games in the sand court.

This girl loves watermelon!!!

So does this little man.

Matthew has such a neat way with Austin! He adores him so much!!!

Brothers!!!!

We ate yummy food all weekend long. JR made his delicious BBQ chicken up there!

Jordan took twin friends along up and this made for some good two on two volleyball.

Love him ...

Here are all the moms again!!! What a fun group of ladies!

I wanted to take some fun pictures of Austin because he is now 11 months old, so I did a mini photo session at the cabin. He is eating more and more. Still drinking 6 oz. of formula. Tries to stand up on his own without holding onto anything. Still has only four teeth but two more are coming in on the top gum. Totally loves his daddy and going on the mower and skid loader with him. It happens every week at least once. Lucky boy! :) Matthew is his go to brother. Austin wants him all the time. He says 'mama'. For everything. :) He's our charmer and a so much fun right now. We are loving his stage in life!!!

I could just squeeze him here!!! :)

Love his eyes and tiny teeth!!!

I like to always take some special pictures of Ashlyn on this weekend too because she turned five not real long ago. She is so sweet and at the same time sassy. She loves my time with her. She draws pictures all the time and is writing her ABC's a lot. She asks often "how do you spell this mom". She knows her letters the best out of our all children at this age. Her tender care and time with Austin is so sweet. They love each other tremendously! "I love you, Sweets."
