Catching Up!! ~JUNE~

WOW!! What a GREAT summer we have had! This is just our June, I will have to update July and August later. I can not believe that school is starting in 2 weeks! It is bitter-sweet, because I am sad that there will be no staying up late nights and sleeping in late mornings filled with PLAY PLAY PLAY all day days! But on the other hand, I could certainly do without all the quarreling that goes on between Carter and Richie and nagging to get the chores done. So a little down time might be good, plus I LOVE the fall. It's my favorite!

Here are some highlights!:

Sweet baby girl, Alora, looking sweet as can be!

We played a lot with our friends and went to many parks. Here is an outing with the Roberts at Thanksgiving Point:










My cute bff, Terra with her sweet baby Owen:

Richie finished up his baseball season--what an all-star!


A few days after school got out, we took off for a trip to Nana and Poppie's house in North Carolina. While we were there, we celebrated Alora's FIRST birthday! Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl!

"The boys" on Father's Day:

Nana and Granny were at the ticket booth.

We had many precious moments:


The last weekend we were in NC, we took the older boys (and left Alora with Nana & Granny) to Wrightsville Beach and also to the aquarium. While there we ate at this great sea food restaurant on the beach!




Daddy buried Carter in the sand.

We had another birthday/BBQ/party for Alora and Grandpa (my dad when we got home at our house:

Big 1 year old!

We also had a family reunion to celebrate that my Grandparents would have turned 100 this summer. It was so great to see all of my relatives that I have not seen in years!
