A family photo at the end of the week. Everyone was a little grumpy from lack of sleep by the time we took this.

Hitting the Beach........We just got back from California visiting the beach for our family vacation. We stayed in a two story beach house that we all fit into. We had a great time hanging out with each other and watching the kids get along good. Thanks Mema and Papa for a fun week at the beach. Here are some pictures of the family.Stella, Lily and Jane all wore the same dress to church. Stella was so excited to be matching and it wasn't even planned.
Bike rides with the kids.
Jude and Sawyer having a good time together.
Jude loved the beach. i thought since he will not put his feet down on grass that we might have the same problem. Nope! He loved every grain of it.

Happy 4th of July



We had a fun 4th of July. It started with a swim and bbq at the Travis Carter home. We then ended up at the Kennedy house for a very up close and neat firework show. Stella was a little nervous at first, but then ended up liking it. Jude loved it the whole time. He even started out sleeping through it and waking up to a loud noise and it didn't even bother him. He is a happy boy no matter what is going on.

Skousen girls came over for an afternoon. We had a good time with them over. Can you tell who won the dress up contest.
That is Kiley and Hailey dressed up, just in case you couldn't tell.

Bubba and his Dad. He loves the water.
Stella with her cutest smile. I love how she is saying cheese the whole time.
The kids love the trampoline. One day was actually a little cooler that we could stay outside for a while.
