Summer Lovin'

So this is just the month of July rolled into one blog! I'll never get caught up if I don't do it this way!!

This is one of our favorite beaches down at the lake by our house. The only one with a sandy beach which is great for the kiddos! I love this picture of them :)

We stopped one day at this hot dog stand called Neiner, Neiner, Weiner. I think it's hilarious so I had to take a picture of the joint!

This is when the boys became member of the "Weiner club" thus the stickers on the hands. If you don't know my boys personalities very well this picture sums them both up!!

Nothing like lazy days in the sun! Not a regular occurance here in Washington!!

I took this one day when I had one of those mom moments where I just couldn't wrap my mind around where all the time has gone!! She is getting so grown up and looked so OLD! I just wanted to take a picture so I never take for granted how quickly these days go by!

Her hat from Aunt Shannon! Only Makenna could look so cute in a purple hat!!

This is down at the marina right by our house. The boys love swimming here!

My cute Makenna!


Brayden trying to stay warm!


Nothing like a good game of touch football down at the lake!

Boys baseball season...

The boys played baseball together this year on the same team! Which was a first, it was SO great! Nothing gives me greater joy than to watch them play! And Brandon coached as well and to see him taking time and investing it into his boys makes my heart overwhelmed!

Brandon giving Brayden a pep talk while he is on deck :)

Brayden did such a great job this season. He was able to play up so the entire team was 9 and 10 year olds and then my cute 5 year old Brayden was out there showing them ALL up! He actually played 1st base! And his batting was amazing! He definitely made us all proud!

He actually only struck out once the entire season!


Proud to say this is the swing that emptied the bases and got Ben a triple! That a boy!!



Ben had a great season as well and played his usual short stop and pitcher. He really is just excelling and improving each year. He has real focus and just a natural ability. The best part is he has such a love for the game! Great season boys! Come spring we'll do it all over again :)
