Summer Lovin'

This kid cracks me--he was wearing his underwear backwards and had no clue! Ha!

Play date at the Doseum with the Darter girls!!

Celebrating Meme's birthday with a brunch after church!

These two love going bowling! They both did great--I think the Wii sports helped with their skills!

Granny style! (Hudson refuses to do it this way because it's "not the right way!"

SPARE!! Whatever works! ;)

Bowling with the Warmkes!

We ALL love baby Ella!

First time at the rollercade! We met a bunch of friends there for a play date. Hudson used the skate mate in the beginning, but quickly got annoyed because it slowed him down. They are both getting better and better at skating!

Kelly and Lexi!

My two cuties!

The gang!

Swimming with Lexi! These two play so well together. I don't even realize there's an extra kid in the house! That's the sign of a good play mate! ;)

We found an old pair of Gracyn's sunglasses and gave them to Ella. She loved them!!

We got our carpets cleaned and the kids got such a kick out of it! They thought it was SO fun that everything was cleared out of the living room!

Climbing the big rock at the park!

Deep Creek Lake 2015

Our week at Deep Creek Lake was wonderful! We look forward to this week ALL year long--it's one of our favorites! Who doesn't love a week filled with family and games....boat rides and paddle boarding....swimming and tubing....reading books and making smores....eating yummy food and napping in the hammock.....going on morning runs with your hubby while the kids hang out with their grandparents...and breakfast made for you each morning? Perfection, I tell you!! 

We loved the house we stayed at this year. The kids love going in and checking everything out! 

 We love going to eat dinner at Unos. The atmosphere is awesome and the kids love to play. 

Aunt Laurie and the kids did a little dancing too!! 

We spent one morning at the beach with Zayne...making sand castles and swimming. 

This was just about every afternoon....we wore them out!! This NEVER happens at home!

 Meanwhile, I enjoyed a lot of this!

 They enjoyed it too...

We had yummy smores just about every night!

 

 Tubing was fun!

And swimming in the pool!

Pasta Night is a crowd favorite!

Dylan and Grandad

 

Game night was a blast playing Apples to Apples!

Aunt Laurie loves her little Gracyn Kate!!

Drew and I loved taking the paddle boards out!

One of the kids' highlights was getting to "drive" in the neighborhood between our house and Grandmom and Grandad's!

We rode go-carts one night. I totally beat everyone---I just zoomed in right in front of Dick as we were taking the cars in at the end. We all got a laugh out of that because Dick didn't know where I'd come from since I didn't heed the caution lights and ended up cutting right in front of him! "Unbelieveable!"  Ha Ha!

We all did a ropes course too!

And rode the mountain coaster. 

And went to see Inside Out at the movies since it was a rainy afternoon. We were the only ones in the theater!

All in all, it was an amazing week--and we can't WAIT to go back again next summer!

Family Fiesta Texas

We all spent the evening at Six Flags--it's so fun to have Daddy join us!! We rode the Sky Screamer--ALL of us! It goes WAY up high in the sky. We ALL loved it....except Daddy. He said he won't be riding it again. Too bad for him that he gets sick on nearly every ride! So proud of Gracyn for giving it a try!

The three of us rode the scrambler--just watching us go around makes Drew sick!

We sat on the lawn and watched the fireworks show.

Love this little guy to pieces!

We surprised the kids and stopped for ice cream at McDonald's on our way home--even though it was WAY past their bedtime!

This is what summer night are made of!
