Mimi & Papa Time!

We've blessed to see Mimi & Papa a lot this month- it's been so wonderful!!

We went and picked corn while they were here!

Such a cute picture...Trinity & Papa saying good-bye after a weekend at their house!

Mimi was in charge of nap time...I think she enjoyed it as much as the kids!


Eli's best friend- Papa!

Joyful July

Two teachers had 'big' birthdays within a couple weeks of each other...Tracy turned 40 and Linsey turned 30. Several teachers got together and 'kidnapped' them and took them to dinner to celebrate...it was such a wonderful evening!!

Fair Time! We all had such fun at the fair!

Trip to Omaha

We took a trip to Manhattan to see my brother Justin and his wife, Amber. We then headed north to Omaha to visit our nephew Beau and his wife, Kari. We went to the zoo and had a great time visiting with everyone!!

Summer Fun

A quick trip to the Garden City Zoo with a niece, a nephew, and a family friend! It was fun...and hot! We had to get Sonic on the way home!

Trinity's first year of swimming lessons...she did so good!! She's now a little fish in the water!

Always need a little help from Grandpa!! He's the best at shooting Nerf guns!

Who can resist this face?

3/4 of Ya-Ya

Three of the four of our Ya-Ya group were able to get together to meet the newest 2nd generation member- Easton Wade! My friend, Leah, had her 2nd son on July 1st and he's absolutely adorable!!

Trinity and Leah's oldest son, Braxton...it really is a hug...or maybe more of a neck-hold!

We missed Sarah being there!! Leah, Belinda, and me...oh, what a wonderful weekend...although way too short! How I miss these girls!

Inside of the Playhouse

Inside of the playhouse! Aaron (and our friend Jason!) have slaved over building the inside and outside of the playhouse for the kids...finally it was my turn to help!! We got it painted in June...just have to put a few finishing touches on!! One of the joys of being a parent---spoiling your kids!

Summer Play

Happy Father's Day, Grandpa! Giggling with Grandpa- what fun!!

Hugs and kisses from Grandma...just part of being a grandson- they aren't too bad!
Like my new dress??

Eli's first time to use scissors all by himself- he was concentrating so hard!
