Our summer home

We've been spending a lot of time here.

"Move back dad, I can swim."

Not really son. Your method of 'swimming' keeps me up at night.

He's ready for some serious pool time fun.....

And sweet sister Elizabeth was able to join us for a bit, which made it all the more fun.

The perma-smile that is on London's face when she is in the water.

Makes me smile just to think about it, happy summer!

Nothing says "I had a little too much fun" like contentedly sleeping on a wood floor

London was much more reasonable, choosing to sleep in the sleeping bag.
LOTS of family. :)
And cake.


Noble loved the basketball....

almost as much as the riding lawn mower.

"Fireworks schmierworks, I'm mowing!"

Oooooh, glow sticks.....
Thank you Rae Lynn, for allowing me to keep track of my children in the dark.

You made everything MUCH more enjoyable!

Now to shoot off some explosives...

Happy 4th of July!

It started out as a sweet game of 'baby'...

and then it turned emotional...

She was just chewing on her paci, in what feels like yesterday.

How did my baby, become my little girl?

Seeing that sweet little face, with that familiar (obviously) expression made my heart melt.

Of course it wasn't that long ago, seeing as we didn't make London give up her pacifier untilwell past her 2nd birthday, but still.....they grow up too fast.

(Will someone please remind me of this tomorrow when I'm cleaning up the spilled whatever for the millionth time, it might help).

Little Fish

Not so sure at first.....still deciding....
Okay, we're good to go!


Both London and Noble LOVED to go to swim class. I don't think London ever stopped smiling, and Noble decided that jumping in and retrieving cars from the bottom was the coolest thing ever.

Future Michael Phelps? We'll see.

There's nothing that will unify siblings like de-pillowing sofas

Just Like Him

Dad, you're the best!

Here are just a few of the reasons why we love and adore you:

And we can't forget how wonderful our dads are to us!

We love you all, Happy Father's Day!
