Summer Fun - June

 Jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler underneath, something I grew up doing as a kid!





Baby Carter hanging out


Easton trying to take after his brothers, playing some T Ball

These have got to be some of my favorite pictures, this was when Carter was just getting the hang of standing up





Poor kid, the metal by the door was a little hot

Ayden had gotten a hang of his scooter really well this summer


She is truly MY daughter, she posed on her own...a pose I used constantly growing up, I probably have a hundred pictures of me like this

And the funniest part of this day was Ava showing us her scratch on her finger


The splash pad, something we did constantly last summer, but this summer it has seemed a little harder to get down there.  There seems to be a lot more going on this summer! But my kids are also not fans of the heat, you think that would attract them to the water, but instead it attracts them to me and the snacks.  They try to huddle around me drink their water and eat, I guess the heat makes them hungry! But they have been wanting to visit Farmland more this summer, so that is what we have been doing more of. But this is a fun splash park, the playground is right next to it so I can see those in the water and those on the play structure. They also have more fun when their friends join us!

Closing Ceremony


 The boys had their closing ceremony for T-Ball the beginning of this month. I have to say, I know my kids pretty well.  We recently signed Ayden and Gavin up for soccer and my prediction is correct. I think they both enjoy being apart of both activities, but Gavin likes T-ball more and Ayden likes soccer more. They both did really well this T-ball season, I saw growth from their first day to their last. We are so proud of them!




I think they think it is pretty cool that they can see through their trophies!

Family time with the Smiths

 In between semesters and Ben going home to New Jersey for the summer he came and stayed at our house for the weekend. It was great to see him, my kids love Uncle Ben, but he got sick while he was here and stayed in his room most of the time so hopefully next time he stays healthy!



 


Grandma Smith dancing to "I Whip My Hair" with Ava

 


Grandma Jensen, my kids love visiting her house  and playing with all her toys and playing with the Bell kids

Fun at Grandma J's house!



It wasn't charged, so Ayden became the battery, he sure has enough energy to be a battery!
