Summer Recap (June and July)

I am sure this is partly from all my nesting "to do" jobs, but getting caught up on my blog is on my list and I am almost done since I have been trying to keep up latly with the present months.

June

For June this was a great event for me, I thought it was the beginning of something wonderful, Ava holding her bottle!! But this is the one and only time she has done it. I am sure that is parly because do don't give her many opportunities because we are always holding her while she is taking her bottle, and the other half is the boys trying to take it from her (which is why she is being held).

Some fun outside enjoying the weather, we never know how long good weather will last her in Michigan.

Ava in her jumper, this has been great except for all the times we have to tell our boys it is not a swing to push her in and to LEAVE HER ALONE!! =)

Fathers Day

A visit from some of Jordan's family

And some fun, cute and random pictures from June...

Ayden loving Ava softly (that is a key word, he is learning)

This was a typical day in June and still is a typically day in September. It doesn't matter how soft or loving the boys are being to Ava, she has learned when they are around it is trouble for her.

July
We started off our 4th of July by going to a parade. The boys really did well and enjoyed it. They sat so well in their stroller and were loving the candy!

We then went to a friends house and had a BBQ and watched some fireworks. We weren't sure how long we could stay not knowing how well our boys would do staying up so late and Ava being well past her bed time, but it turned out well, the only problem we had was when we popped out the sparklers. Honestly, I am sure this is not smart thinking, but I didn't think they could burn you that badly. However, Ayden didn't learn the first time he touched the sparkling part of the sparkler, he had to keep touching it and trying to hold it longer on the wrong end. It ruined his night, his little hands got blisters and he was miserable. So during the fireworks we almost left, but he sat nice and comfy on his Dad's lap watching the fireworks, I think he really enjoyed them.

Ava and Josh, who are a month apart, sitting in their Bumbo's. I thought Ava's little serious face was funny in the first picture.

Jordan helping all the kids with the sparklers

Gavin loved the pop its, after they were done handing them out, he kept trying to find all the one's that weren't popped and throughing those, he couldn't get enough.

So cute!!! Ayden with his Daddy

Gavin tacking advantage of having all the potato chips he could have while watching the fireworks.

I couldn't get enough pictures of this, it's so sweet.

Some more pictures enjoying the summer...

A Carnival we went to that was seriously a 5 min walk from our house. The boys look fine now, but they barely went on anything. They were being little wimps. They went on more rides 6 months ago then they did or even attempted to here. I did feel like all the kids rides went abnormally fast at this carnival though.

For a while the boys thought it was pretty funny to sit under the rug and eat snacks or read books. Gavin totally looks naked in some of his pictures, but I promise he does have a diaper on!
