Older pics, phone pics, and trying to catch up!

A fun scooter/walk through the tunnel!

 Mya having fun while we were waiting for daddy in the car:)

 My sleepy sweet girl.

 Toby loves to play memory and actually does a very good job with it!

Proud daddy and mommy moment!

 You know your child is tired when they fall asleep with food in their mouth.  He slept like this for a good 1/2 hour:)

 A project my had to do for school.  I liked her bekus.

 Just hanging out in the box of leggos.

 For Mya's last week of school they dressed a different way for each day.  Mon - Sports team, Tues - Patriot day, Wed - Crayz Hair day, Thurs - Her Birthday:), Fri - School spirit

We went with some friends to a drive in movie - there are 4 families represented here:)

 Big girl sitting in the tub!

 I felt very safe with my super heros.  I love that Toby couldn't make a serious face.  I was getting ready and when I came out of my room they had these on and requested to wear them in the car.

 Sweet girl waving.  When Derek comes home she gets a huge smile waves and says Dadda!

 Mya thought she needed to be a cowgirl:)

 One morning we woke up to the invasion of the caterpillars.  There were over 50 of them in our front yard.

 Mya doing a bubble experiment.

 Sunglasses!

 Ivy trying some new foods.  Let's see if she takes after her brothers and sister with the love of peppers.

 Where's Ivy?

  Mya attended VBS the last week of June at church.  It was a roller coaster theme.  She loved it!  She new all the songs, memorized the verse and every day came home to tell me the Bible story.

 Colossal Coaster World - Facing Fear, Trusting God!  2 Timothy 1:7 - God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love!

Mya and Noah before the closing night on Friday.

 It's the ride of your life, ride of your life, when you dare to believe in Jesus Christ, It's the ride, it's the ride of your life!

 Oh just sitting here chewing on my toes.

 Ivy's first time being a big girl sitting in the cart!

  Saturday night shopping trip with 4 kids, 2 carts, and topped of with sparklers for the 4th:)

Derek and Mya hung up the bird feeders she made from her birthday and filled them with birdseed.

 This is how we have found Mya sleeping 2 different nights.  She LOVES reading the Bible!  During her rest time she reads it.  She not only reads it but remembers it in great detail.

 A mask is a must!

and then there is this little stinker!!  Look how proud she is standing in her crib.  This was at 9 at night when she was suppose to be sleeping!  Derek lowered her crib so she doesn't flip herself out!

 Look what I did mom!

 Sunday we went to the beach with some friends.  This was our ride to along with lightning and thunder.

 I love the things Mya comes up with to occupy herself when we drive.  When we got to the beach it wasn't raining but there were storms all around us and you could tell it was going to poor!  It was so windy it pulled our canopy out of the ground and sent it flying and bent the legs.  The ladies grabbed the kids and got to the car while the guys tried to convince us it was going to be nothing:)  It lasted about 10-15min and the rest of the afternoon was beautiful!!

 Ivy enjoying some puffs.

 Toby and Lucas watching the daddy's play out in the waves.  

 Taylor and Levi playing nice.

 Noah and Mya found at least 100 little clams along the water.  The current was so strong it was unearthing all kinds of cool things.

 The kids loved the boggy boards!!

 Grandma Holly left some glitter pens for the kids.  Toby was so excited!!  

Levi got to use some paints...it took a little while to get rid of that blue nose.

 Sweet moments.

 Well there haven't been any birds eating out of the feeder yet but this pesky squirrel has!  The kids enjoy watching me throw balls at it:)

 All you really need is a box to keep your kids entertained!  Most of the time this box is a cannon shooter.

 For the 4th we headed to the beach with Aunt Pam, Uncle Phil, Salina, and another family from church.  Mya was able to ride a few waves.

 Ivy getting herself stuck standing up on things that tip over:)

 For a long time there was a perfectly round rainbow around the sun.

 Toby and Levi working together to bury the big stick.

 This was our drive home.  

  The rain stopped long enough for a quick picture,

and some sparklers.

 The boys liked them but weren't quite sure of them.

 Happy 4th of July!  Thank you to everyone who has served our country past, present, and future!
