More Summer Fun!

We have been having so much fun outside the last few weeks. It's amazing how much fun kids can have in a sprinkler! Just sharing some of our memories! This was a couple of weeks ago already!




Well... Mom and Dad made it here safely on Thursday! Yeah!

Friday Mom, the kids, and I all went shopping. Dani has been DYING to get a boy Barbie as she's resorted to using a blue stuffed elephant to stand in the place of her OWN boy Barbie. So, Grammy bought her a BOY Barbie that she named David! Of everything in the store, Marlie and Hannah each picked out new Barbies too! That should shoot our total number of Barbies into the high twenties I'm sure! And, of course, we couldn't leave Tyler out so he got a new little people car wash. LOVES it! Another fun boy toy in the house. Although, Hannah was having a great time scooting the little car across our NEW kitchen floors tonight! :) She IS our tomboy after all!

Saturday was a mini family reunion in the mountains. So good to see so much family! Here are a few pics.

Isaac, Marlie and James. I just HAD to snap this picture. It seems Isaac is a little smitten with his cousin Marlie! So cute! What's neat about it is that Isaac and his family live in AZ and this is only the second time that Isaac has even been around Marlie. Still, they love each other to pieces!

Dani and Isabelle (Isaac's sister) playing Barbies together in one of the cabins. I think they spent about 1/2 the day doing this VERY thing.

Isaac, Marlie, and Elise. My cousin Chris (Isaac and Isabelle's dad) thought of this picture. Chris, Tracy (Elise's mom) and I were all born within an 18 month time period and really grew up more like siblings than cousins. So we took a picture of all of our oldest kids as they are our spitting images. The only difference is that Chris was the oldest, I was second, and Tracy was the youngest of the three of us!

Dani, Hannah, James, Isaac, Marlie, Isabelle and Elise. ALL of the spawn of Chris, Tracy and me (less napping babes Tyler and Kylie)! That's a lot of kiddos! Can you tell we told them to be silly?

Tracy and I were commenting on how our kids are now making some fun memories like we have of being kids. What a fun time!
