4th of July at the Beach

We spent the 4th of July soaking up the sun and hanging with some crazies at my parents new beach house/condo, Waterfall.  Wow, it was busy and crazy, but the cousins had a blast and I would do it again.  This was Brooks' first time at the beach, and he seemed to enjoy it pretty well.  We also all enjoyed the awesome pool at my parents condo.

Yes, we are those people who take a pool to the beach for the baby, but it works!

We also went on a Ferris Wheel ride.  Our kids loved it and Reese too.

These cousins will have some amazing memories for years to come here.  Also, we had a beach photo session with the cousins.

First Trip to Birmingham

Also in June we went to visit Gramma and Pa in their new hometown!  We are so happy they are only 4.5 hours away instead of 24 hours away in Kansas!  We also took Annie with us and she did great.  We swam, ate good food, went to Oak Mountain to swim and explore, saw the Vulcan, went fishing, swimming and made some artwork for Gramma and Pa's house.  They got bunk beds for the kids and they got to decorate their room a little bit.  We love their new house and are very excited to spend more time them.

June 2014

June has come and gone and MAN was it busy!  The first week of June we jumped right into VBS.  As usual, the kids had an amazing time and us workers were exhausted.  We have also spent some of our summer days doing nothing which is great too.  Kate and Jack actually do pretty great together and they've played games together, crafted and even through in a few tie-dye shirts!

June 7 was the triplets 6th birthday.  This year they decided to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese.  This was the first time any of the kids had been there and boy was it, um, well, nuts.  The kids LOVED it.  They loved the games, the giant rat, the pizza (which was awesome), the ticket blaster and well, everything.  

Happy Birthday to some pretty great nieces and nephew!
