Summer's Here!

Ryan's traveling again, so last night Amy and I and all five kids has some summertime fun! McKenna even enjoyed watching all the action from her car seat! Can you believe she's wearing a 6-9 month outfit?? She's getting so big!

Samantha, Emily and Emma

Emma loves to play with our neighbors. The girls come over almost everyday to play. Yesterday we got a new "toy box" for all the outside stuff and they had a grand time playing with the box.
Notice how the boys like to swing. They're hysterical swinging on their stomachs. This is what they do everyday! Check out Abigail's cool trick!

Then we got out the sprinkler! We grilled hot dogs...
ate some watermelon...
enjoyed some homemade Popsicles...
and then we topped the evening off with sparklers!


Look at Abby's face in this picture. She was a little nervous about the sparklers. Christian wouldn't even try holding one. He's terrified of fireworks and for a good reason, but that's a story for another day.

Check out my sister's blog for more pictures of our evening! She'll be posting them soon!

Summer is not my favorite season but I do have my happiest childhood memories of summer. This is probably because there is more time in the summer for fun - no school. Just think, I have 9 more days and my school career will finally be over! Yeah!
McKenna has really grown. I feel like I've totally missed her infancy. She is just adorable! Love,
Grandmom
