So far...

                                                             

we, and by we, I mean Chris, put in the dock,
pressure washed both boats, and installed a lake
slide for the kids

Larson's beach

Shrubs!!

went on several boat rides

                                       

thumbs up, dude!




We hosted a Fourth of July party

Scrumptious but sorry, NOT on the menu

Our first girl lost her two front teeth

                                       We had our second girl baptized

Where they messed up the order of her name

OJ, spilling it all over the front of his shorts

Introducing our Evolet

Family and sponsors
Grandma Karen, Auntie Laura, cousin Alex, Tita,
Uncle Andy, cousin Emily holding Evie, Ellie and
Pooh

Melt my heart, why don't ya?

Auntie Laura made it really pretty for her
God daughter

The following day, while I drove my mom back to
Illinois,Auntie Laura took the kids into
town, where they got to run thru the "sprinklers"

                                                           The kids…

it took them a while to get in

not really sure if he should dunk himself

but clearly, he did

Last year, she wouldn't step one foot in the
lake, icky craw fish. But now, she's handled
fish, frogs…and other icky things.

My little adventurer

a pirate ship!! really, a rip off. That thing ended up losing
air.

But while it had it, the kids enjoyed it.

Me and my frightened looking girl.

Daddy, having fun and cooling off.

See, he'd run up…shoot him with water...

daddy would pick him up...

and toss him in.

Big splash.

Zoom in and you'll see that he clearly
LOVED this!

Honestly, this kid just CRACKS me up!

Insisted on going down the slide in this get up.

Even Evie seemed to enjoy a dip, in da nude!

That is until her big brother decided to do a cannon ball
and splash her in the face.

But big sister came over to console her.

Drying off.

Some whispy curls.

Those lips are very kissable!

They are also enjoying our little beach.

I can't recall what he was explaining to me. I only know
that he still looks like a little boy here.

                          Oh! And we've had friends over for a little fun in the sun!

Three little fishies

One swam away. Then there were two….

Slide. Huge hit.

Wyatt

Pooh and his buddy Logan, ganging up on Wyatt

He loves having his friends over.

For some reason, I am having a flash forward moment…
I can see them all as teenagers. Wait…wha???

Pooh and Caleb

She loves the slide.

One night we lit some sparklers. Or SPRINKLERS, as
Pooh referred to them.

Fire on a stick.

                       Well, that's how our summer has been going…so far.
