Nana T.'s Birthday--Part Two

On Sunday night we went to Babe's for a delicious dinner and then back to our house for presents, cake and ice cream. We had a fun time and were so glad to see everyone! Happy Birthday Nana!

Nana T.'s Birthday--Part One

A few weeks ago Nana T. had a birthday! We were so happy that she came to visit for the weekend. On Saturday night we went to Bradley and Molly's for hamburgers and yummy peppermint homemade ice cream. Caleb and Caroline had a great time playing with all of their cousins.

My Hawaiian Babies!

Brett and I brought home some Hawaiian outfits from our trip for Caleb and Caroline. Here they are modeling their outfits!

Playing with Paige

I am so behind in blogging and I'm sure I have been missed!

A few weeks ago Uncle Bradley, Aunt Molly, and Paige came over for pizza and play time! We had such a good time seeing sweet Paige. It was hot in the backyard so Brett and Bradley decided to take the clothes off of the kids and just let them run around naked (except for diapers!).

Bradley and Paige--doesn't she look like her dad? Of course, she has more hair than he does!

Caleb and Caroline's first swimming lesson

On Monday we started swimming lessons. Caroline was okay with it but Caleb didn't like it at all! He cried the entire lesson! We went back today and he did better as long as he couldn't see me so I had to hide behind a tree! Hopefully each day will get a little better! Below are some pictures from their first lesson.

The Zinks Come to Play!

Our sweet friends, the Zinks came to visit us last Saturday night. They used to live here but moved a couple of years ago so it was great to see them! Their daughter was born 10 days before Caleb and Caroline so we always enjoy getting the kids together to play. We ate pizza and played outside in the water. Then, all of the kids had a bath and played some more inside. We were sad to see them leave and hope they come back to visit soon!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July. We went to Nana and Pawpaw's on Thursday night. On Friday morning the guys played golf and the girls & kids went to a parade in Amy and Jonathan's neighborhood and then went swimming. After a nap the kids played in Nana and Pawpaw's backyard and we had some yummy homemade icecream. It was a fun day and we enjoyed seeing our family!
