Normally I am really good about getting the kids pictures taken. Well I have slacked and couldn’t look at the wall pics that are a year old anymore. So today we took our own pictures at home. Not professional quality, but we had fun and I’ll be able to get updated pics on the wall. Here are just a few. I took over 70 pics.

Well everything has been going really good here. We enjoyed the week off from school for Amy and from summer school for the boys. Ian and Jacob continue to enjoy T-ball instruction and Ian is doing well in the T-ball league. Zoe keeps us jumping, as usual:)

Amy and the kids enjoyed a day out at Bay Beach recently. Ian invited his best friend, Alaina, along. We couldn’t go on the Ferris Wheel or Bumper cars since Amy was the only adult and with 4 kids, we couldn’t all fit. But the kids enjoyed the other rides and Amy even joined them on the Tilt O Whirl. The kids enjoyed pony rides, a huge slide, and we had a nice picnic lunch.

Here Ian, Alaina, Jacob, and Zoe are waiting before our first train ride:

Zoe has begun choosing all her own outfits. Some days this can be very interesting. Here was her choice on the one day it was about 55 degrees:

And to finish off this update, here are some pics from our 4th of July gathering at our friends, Christine and Todd, house.

The kids made “soup” in the driveway. Lots of mud, sticks, and grass…yum.

After a great grilled out lunch, we played some beanbag toss or as Jackie called it..corn hole.

And I can’t end without saying Congratulations to Nancy who is now an official RN! Way to go!!

Have a great weekend everyone!
