Picassa-o-Rama Camp

This summer, Maddie went to art camp at the NNICL. She is a wonderful artist and enjoyed every minute of this camp. We will definately be going next year too!

Movie Night

One of our favorite things to do is let the kids go pick a movie to rent and then turn our den into a movie theatre. This past week we invited Carson to come over and enjoy our movie night. The kids rented "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", they had a blast!

Playing around before the movie.

Their snacks...which only lasted the first 30 min of the movie.

So "into" the movie!

Playing outside after the movie...trying to run off some of that sugar!

Our 4th of July Celebrations

After going to the parade...we went to the swim club and ate lunch with Nick's parents and The Murphy's. The kids LOVE swimming and Maddie and Wyatt showed us just how much they have learned at swim lessons.

Wyatt can now swim all over the pool without Nick and I...wearing floaties of course!

Maddie and Daddy having fun in the water.

So sweet! Such a daddy's girl.

Maddie decided to go off the high dive (without floaties mind you), she jumped and sawm to the ladder all by herself!

WWWWWEEEEEEEEEE!







That night we all headed out to watch the fireworks. We found a great little spot where we didn't have to worry about the traffic.

Setting up!

4th of July parade

We took the kids to our neighborhood parade this year for the 4th. We thought this was the first year for it and then we found out that they do this every year. Our kids can't wait to be in the parade next year!

Gosh, he is handsome

Taking it ALL in

Doak's baby dedication

Doak was dedicated on July 3rd in our first service. This was such a special day for our other two kids and we wanted it to be the same for little Doak. We are so thankful for our friends and family that stood with us and prayed over Doak. We are so blessed by our church and their partnering with us to help raise Doak to love God and to someday invite him into his heart.

LOVE this picture of the cousins

My sweet kids....we are so blessed!

Swing Set!

The kisd LOVE their new swing set...we really needed one since going to the park in this heat is not always possible, especially with little Doak. Nick stayed up until the wee hours of the morning putting it together for the kids. Such a good daddy!
