Summer Fun

We have really packed it in this Summer, in fact, maybe too much because it’s flying right by.  I don’t know what we could have cut though, it’s all be so much fun.  We had my dear friend from AZ, Cheryl, come stay with us with her sister and 6 kidlets.  What a darling family and I am kicking myself for my failure to pull the camera out.  Loved every minute catching up with Cheryl. 

Shortly after Cheryl’s visit, Nate was baptized, which I already posted about.  After that was the 4th, which was the last post.  The day after the 4th Anna left for Girls’ Camp.  She had a blast, and we REALLY missed her.  While she was gone, we celebrated Joshy’s 2nd birthday.

The day she got back, we had more friends come stay for the weekend.  The Beechers, have 5 kids and my kids love them, and Brennan and I love Cole and Kelly and their kids.  We met them in AZ and then they moved here for a few years, but then back to AZ.  We had a blast catching up with their crew.  Again, I can’t believe I didn’t get any pictures of them!  Friday night we left the girls in charge and went out to eat with just the grown-ups just like old times.  Saturday we got up and out the door to our own little town’s parade.  This is the best parade in all the world.  We sit in the shade on our gorgeous tree lined Main St, and watch our local politicians, schools, teams etc go by and cheer them on.  There are even several really great floats.  It’s just great. 

Mom and Dad, you should be flattered, this is the only picture I took all weekend!

After the parade, we went to the carnival for lunch and a little people watching.  Kelly and I took the girls shopping, then Brennan and Cole went golfing and brought home dinner.  We planned on going to the park, but it got stormy so we stayed in.  The kids completely occupied each other.  Joshy terrorized their darling Khloe, who is a year younger, but she held her own.

Sunday, all 14 of us went to church and then home for the only meal I made them all weekend Smile.  We were so sad to see them leave Monday morning.  Such good times.
