4th Of July

We had an amazing 4th of July this year! Lots of sun, boating, swimming, fireworks and family! :)

Traditions

How long does something have to go on before it becomes a family tradition? I guess Im just allowed to decide this for myself. Almost ever since we moved into our new house, Gavin loves to see Eric off to work each day. He wants to watch him leave, out the front door, and he wants his Daddy to drive around front and pound fists before he leaves. And then, in the afternoon, the boys seriously cannot wait for their Daddy to get home. Once we know he's getting close, we go sit outside in the breezeway and wait for him to pull in the driveway. As soon as Daddy is in the driveway, the boys run to his truck  so that he will let them ride into the garage with him. It is seriously the most precious thing ever.

If I could put into words how much my heart melts when I see how much these boys love their Daddy, it would probably be a novel. These 3 are my world and there is never a day I don't realize how blessed I am.

SHIIIIINE ON!

These two are absolutely obsessed with this song...

Summer Fun so Far

What have we been up to? The boys and I have been spending as much time as possible outside! And when Daddy gets home, he gets to join the fun! We've been to a water park, to the movies, swimming, to the zoo, and of course just playing outside.

 

Lake Fun

In the past year or so, we've had to take a break from going to the lake. All the babies were just too difficult to have in the sun for long periods of time, and it was more work than fun. But this year, all the kids are big enough to enjoy it again, so we all went for Memorial Day. I can't even describe how much they all love the lake, the boat, the toys, and just being outside! Love these kids and can't wait to make more memories at the lake! 

Zoo fun!

A few weeks ago, we took a trip to the zoo with Aunt Sharon. The boys had a blast, and we had perfect weather for our fun day of animals and carousel rides! We love Aunt Sharon! 

Crew 15 Months

My little guy is not so little anymore! In fact, he's growing up faster than I can keep up with! Crew just turned 15 months, and is going on 3 years old, I swear! He thinks he can do everything his brother does, so I basically have 2 1/2 year olds! 

Crew runs, he jumps off of things, and he especially loves to climb on EVERYTHING. I am not used to the fearlessness this kid possesses! He climbs on the toilet, the counter, the kitchen table, the furniture, and then just stands there and stares at you! It's absolutely terrifying when I leave the room because I know that he will be into something before I can get back in there! Crew, you keep me busy!
