4th of July--Independence Day

Kaitlyn went away to cooking camp at grandma's house with her cousins Shelly and Ashlyn.  She had a marvelous time!  While she was gone, we went to see a movie (it was bright outside):

Then when her time was over, we went to College Station to go get her and celebrate with our family.  We started the morning with yummy waffles which were decorated like american flags with berries and whipped cream.  Grandma is SO FUN!





Of course we spent so much time in the pool that our fingers and toes got all wrinkly....



And something that Sam really wanted to do was to go canoeing in the pond in grandma and grandpa's neighborhood.



These girls had made a yummy dessert to enjoy--they're so proud of all the things they made and learned during the week with grandma.
 And of course there were fireworks! 


July 2015

This photo to me is the epitome of summer.  Kids running around in swim suits.  Eating popsicles outside.  Smiling and happy.  I LOVE summertime with my kids.  Relaxed schedules.  Time to play.  This is heaven to me.

We've continued to meet up regularly with Matthew's buddies from preschool.  This time it was at the splash pad in Fairview....
