so we waited quite a while, but summer did come after all!
we had a busy month in june...
we had a busy month in june...
here are a few highlights....
the summer buzz... except for barrett.
he didn't want a buzz and is refusing to have any haircut.
we went to the children's art festival with friends... the company was great but the festival was not quite as fun as we expected...crowded and hot! ethan and savanna weren't feeling well that day and just wanted to lie under a tree, but the older kids had a good time. can you tell it was baseball season?? crazy boys...
we were so excited to get visits from lots of family early in the summer this year! john, tamara and their kids came to visit... sorry, i didn't take any pics... but we did have a great time with them. it meant a lot to barrett that they came to one of his baseball games.
then, a few days later...
papa d and bev came to visit for a few days! the kids just love their grandparents and love to be around them. we were even able to spend fathers day with both our dads this year at a little bbq at my parents house.
savanna spent the afternoon playing tetherball... ethan was given lessons in monkey bars by grandpa steve. i think all the fun wore everyone out!
and a few days after that...
the smalls came to stay a few days! ahhh- i really slacked on the picture taking!-
every summer we look forward to our time with the smalls since we know it is the only time all year we get to see them. we always have so much fun when they are here...
wish they lived closer.
beating the heat at the pool and with popsicles or watermelon in hand... does anything say summer louder??
oh and i can't forget my birthday... yes, i turned another year older. clint made the day extra special and suprised me with an ipod, and i found myself some genuine dr. pepper from dublin texas (thanks hansens! i found this stuff through you!...) which i had clint order for me...(really isn't it just easier to get your own presents sometimes?) and he took the boys to the flower shop and let them each pick out flowers for me to make a beautiful bouquet! that night we went to dinner without the kids... it was a great birthday...although i really can't believe how old we are getting... time flies faster all the time!
and pretty much the only other thing we have been doing is working on our landscaping...
pictures will be coming shortly!!

I love Summer time! Grandpa D really looks like he loves Savvy to death in that pic! How cute is that?
So glad you got to see the Smalls. I just love family and being able to visit them. It makes life worth living!
Happy B-Day to you sexy lady!! You look younger every year!
You gotta love the real Dublin Dr. Pepper....ahhhhh, nothing else compares!
I need to know where you got the DP- do they have it in diet? I think I need to order it for Christmas from Santa
It really is pure stuff that original Dr. Pepper! Scott bought me some in February and I still have two six packs left!!! Unusual, but I really have to savour every drop! Love the updated pictures. I was getting cold looking at your sledding and igloo pictures! Welcome back!!!
