What We've Been Up To

Wow, July has been a whirlwind of things and has flown right on by! I cannot believe school starts in 2 weeks! We have been loving every bit of our summer and have been staying super busy!

 

 

Cam has been doing tennis lessons and absolutely loves it

 

 

We've been putting the bike trailer to use with lots of bike rides to the pool or just around the neighborhood...all 3 boys love it

 

 

We hit up the Allen County Fair last weekend with the cousins...

 

 

 

 

Checking out the HUGE monster truck!

 

 

Luke and I celebrated our 8th anniversary with a trip to Cedar Point! We had a fantastic time!

 

 

A summer staple, we've been eating lots of corn

 

 

 

Crew loves spending time in the highchair, but isn't into eating

 

 

 

We had an outdoor church service this past weekend and it was chilly...Crew stayed bundled up in his stroller for most of the time

 

 

 

Me and my babe

 

 

We've been a lot of swimming...lots and lots of swimming...and both boys are swimmers (float free) and "pros" on the diving boards if you ask them!

 

 

 

 

We even had a "treat party" at the pool for the neighborhood

 

 

 

Crew likes hanging out at the pool too...in or out of the water

 

 

And to end...some absolutely precious, precious pictures of daddy and his Crewbie

 

 

 

 

 

Love you daddy!

 

 

 



Seven Month Sweetie

It is unreal

 

 

that this sweetie

 

 

is seven months old

 

 

He could not be ANY sweeter

 

 

I want to stop time and keep him little

 

 

and innocent

 

 

and oh soooo snuggly

 

 

He sure does love his buddy Z the zebra

 

 

and I think he loves us too!!!

 

 



The Lake

On Sunday we went to Eagle Lake to Uncle Tim and Aunt Kimra's house. It was the perfect lake day and the kids had a blast! We can't wait to go again!

 

Swimming in the beach area in the channel

 

 

All the kids loved playing on the big tube

 

 

 

Paddle boarding was also a hit

 

 

 

Of course the boat rides were their favorite and they loved swimming at the sandbar too!

 

Crew and daddy hanging in the shade

 

 

Crew and Phoebe had a little play date too

 

 

 

Thanks Leman Family...it was fun!!!!!!



July 4th!

Our family loves the Fourth of July, mainly because Camden is obsessed with fireworks! We spent the day at the pool which was a lot of fun and then had a BBQ in the evening! We decided to stay home this year and do our own firework show! It turned out to be a great night and we had some really good booms! The mosquitoes are terrible so it was nice to be inside the porch watching.

 

The kids started watching in the grass

 

 

 

But they moved inside eventually too because they were getting bit!

 

Camden checking out the loot

 

Cohen was happy just being far away from them

 

 

Luke did a couple cool ones right one the deck

 

 

Somebody got a little tired toward the end



Boys being Boys

All my boys on Father's Day

 

 

We went to Takaoka last week for Papa Tim's birthday so I tried to snap a few pictures before we left...and here is what I got

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When one is looking with his eyes open, the others aren't.

After dinner we went on a boat ride which the boys loved!

 

 

 

We couldn't get a decent picture there either!

 

 

 

Boys being boys!
