A few things...

We had VBS last week (Monday - Thursday evenings).  It was FANTASTIC.   Brady did great in his own group, I had enough helpers for my group that it wasn't chaotic, the kids had a blast, Brady learned a lot and it was just fun.  I love VBS so much and it's one thing I look forward to every summer!  Brady even made the video for Sunday service three times!!  His group and my group had the same schedule, so I always go to see what he was doing too which was nice for me (including when he went missing after theater - he must have got mixed up with a different group).  Oops!  Here are some pictures:





We also had new carpet put in throughout the whole house (not including the basement).  After almost 11 years, it was time and I am loving it.  I'm no longer embarrassed to have people over.  I did have an emotional moment thinking of Drake and how I couldn't wait to get new carpet once we didn't have a pet....  




He is so good at the dental office!

Busy start to summer!

We've hit the ground running this summer.  Ashby Park, Clive pool, ice cream, farmers tan, playtime with cousins, Storytime in the park, park play dates,  and water balloons.   All fun stuff!  Not to mention VBS starts next week!  And guess who is Captain of her crew this year.  Me.  Yes me.  I'm a little nervous but have volunteered enough for VBS & Awana to know what to expect.   And I'm super excited for my boo to be in an actual group this year, not just daycare.  We love summer!


He didn't need a nap although now that he is outside he's a bit more tired!

Checking out the delivery with his cousins Thomas & Matthew.

First time bowling

Me & my boo


Ashby Park!


Our healthy vitamins. ..  If only I could get him  to eat the veggie ones.  They are actually good.  But hiding them in fruit snacks does NOT work.

He really wants a Barbie.  Or on this day, a Ken doll.

His cousins Brenten, Lyvie & Bryce came to play.  They had a blast going through 

 the sprinkler & eating pushups!


Why I love him-mismatched clothes, bike helmet & water balloons
