Family Races

One day this summer, when the kids were going absolutely berzerk-o in the house, Dave had the idea of taking everyone outside and running it out.  

 

It evolved into some good-ol-fashioned family races. 

It was seriously so much fun we've done it again since then.  Just another reason to love living on a cul-de-sac!

And to top it off, we had the cutest little flag girl you ever did see!

Soaking Up Summer

My loves.  Soaking up the best of summer. 

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

More photos from this summer. More fun days with our lovely neighbors.

4th of July

We enjoyed a fun 4th of July this year. We spent the early part of the day just hanging out at home and playing (and slipping and sliding) with the neighbors. 

We spent the afternoon at a local park with a bunch of friends.  A fun-filled (and sugar-filled) day!

Calder's BFF came with her family.  He is so smitten.

Alyse and her buddy, Evan.

And what's the 4th of July without a few fireworks?  I took Calder and Tessa to see them near home on the 3rd.  They totally loved them.  I brought the camera, set it up on the tripod, and let Calder click away.  Not too bad, eh?

Summer Day at the Park

Tessa and I had a fun July day at the park with our friends Jen and Carly!  We saw The Cat In The Hat, rode the carousel, ate ice cream and had so much fun!
