More summer shots

Now that the weather has finally improved...we have been making the most of it. Trips to the beach, backyard playdates, BBQ's with friends and enjoying the beauty of my flower garden. There aren't enough hours in the day sometimes to fit in all we want to.

Before we had our pool up - we made our own fun.  A tarp with a bit of soap keeps the kids occupied for hours. 

 The trampoline provides hours of fun as well...
 Finally our pool....even though the boys said it was colder than the water out of the fridge - it didn't stop them!  The race was on...who could make the first and biggest splash.  It was a tie!

 Finally someone to play babies with...thanks for the playdate and sleepover Ava! 
 A decent game of cops and robbers...one guess who the girl is in disguise...she can definitely hold her own in a group of boys!! 
 Who couldn't love this smile?
 Even Alex gets in on the action of cops and robbers!!  The gun is about as big as he is!
 A good ole' fashion squirt gun fight..notice the difference is gun sizes...however Alex doesn't appear to mind.
 Notice the face of satisfaction on Devin's face...he is cracking up - mostly 'cause he's the one holding the bigger water gun!

 Some color to add color to my world.  I LOVE being out in my flower path - and the various flowers/colors make my world that much brighter!!  Thanks again to my inspirational friend Wendi!!  I will always be grateful to you for sharing your passion of gardening with me!!
 Out at the beach celebrating my best friends birthday!  She ROCKS and so does her family!! 
 The GANG! (minus Alex who fell and scraped his leg and couldn't walk to be in the picture)
 My Hailey bug....love this girl!!
 Daisy flowers may stink (literally) but they sure look pretty!!
Stay tuned...more specific posts to come.  These are just some random pictures to get you up to speed on our summer excitement.
