Summer Fun

Hope you’re ready for A LOT of pictures!!  We have had an awesome summer so far!!  The summer started off a little slow….mainly because I didn’t have any big kids to make it crazy which was awesome in itself!!  But since they got home we have been CRAZY, but in a good and fun way!!  Swim lessons, church playgroup, summer camp, playdates with friends, and our favorite POOL TIME!!!  Our neighborhood has a pool and we LOVE it!!!






 One afternoon (while Garrett was at camp) Haylee had the pool all to herself....she got bored really fast!!  Thankfully some new friends showed up!!
Crazy hairdo she somehow pulled off!!




 Love going to the pool with friends!!




Our church has so many activities for the kids to participate in!!  It is awesome and great way to meet people!!  Every Tuesday during the summer they have a “playdate”.  They have a schedule of where to meet at what time on Tuesday and whoever can make has a BLAST!!  The last one was at Natalee’s Sunday school teacher’s house.  They had a slip-n-slide, horses, and a baby pool.  The kids LOVED riding the horses!!






Natalee is really coming along.  She will be 14 months on the 22nd and although she is not walking yet she knows how to get around!!  She crawls everywhere, pulls up, and is starting to stand.  You can tell that she doesn’t like to walk and or stand very long (the orthopedic surgeon said that would happen) but she is doing GREAT!!  She LOVES being around the kids.  Every morning she wakes up she just smiles and laughs when she sees everyone!!  Her favorite song is “If You’re Happy and You Know It!!”  












She LOVES her blankie!!

 ....and her friends!!



Over the 4th of July the kids (ALL THREE) went to my parent’s house for the weekend and we had a couple’s weekend with my sister and Steve!!  Steve and Lindsey rented an RV at Quartz Mountain near Altus, OK (about 4 hrs SW from Tulsa).  It was so much fun!!  We hiked (AKA rock climbed), roasted marshmallows every night, swam in the lake, and of course had to play Settlers of Catan!!  What a great weekend!!



We had never seen such a beautiful lizard in the wild!!

Rock climbing!!














Our neighbors (and of course friends) invited us to their church family messy event!!  WOW!!!  It was pretty awesome!!!  They had all kids of really really really messy activities set up for the kids!!  A chocolate syrup water slide, face painting, dunking for oreos in a bucket of milk (Josh wouldn’t not let the kids partake in that event…..& Garrett was GLAD!!), attaching Cheerios to your face with syrup, marshmallow fight with different condiments, bubble bath,  shaving cream twister, and so much more!!!

Love these super tan blonde kids!!





















You can't have summer without some super yummy smoked meat!!!

Enjoying a hot summer evening by the fire!!!  Garrett was a little bit worried!!


While Garrett was had church summer camp I put Haylee in a Tiny Actor's camp!!  She LOVED it!!!  It was so much fun watching her!!



Here is the little skit they did at the end!!


Garrett when he came home from camp!!

The BEST thing about a super awesome summer.....EXHAUSTED KIDS!!!
