let the good times roll

can't forget these gooders! mak was going through a phase where she either totally hated or was completely terrified of getting her nails painted, but mom wanted it done, and i was the mean aunt who tried to get the job done! poor little makie!

Image

dust went to Philadelphia for an exam and brought goodies home for the boys!

Image

when the "spring" weather isn't living up to its name, you have to come up with indoor fun, and shaving cream painting is one of our favs!

Image

love it when mads can't quite make it through book time before bed :)

Image

nana is everyone's favorite, but these 2 especially love to fight over her!

Image

happy 5th miles daniel! these 2 make me smile :)

Image

beckam taking the july 1st family fun run seriously! just getting his training in :)

Image

lace was the best nun ever in her play, nunsense :)

Image

this squishy face and this girl! so incredibly thankful for my little girlie - every mom needs a daughter, and i'm just so lucky she's mine!

Image

Image

loves his nuggets!

Image

beckam did his first flip off the diving board and it was perfection! no fear, that kid!

Image

pool time with uncle cars! it takes some work to convince cars to come to the pool but when he does, everyone has fun :)

Image

we watched 8 seconds the other day, and this kid decided to get his cowboy on! haha love my beckam boo!

just singin in the rain

we don't get many good rain storms where we live, and whenever we do, the boys ask to run outside and play. thankfully, grandpa offered $1 to anyone who would stand on the front lawn and sing a song, and he even joined in the fun :)

Image
Image

then, nana did the puddle jumping with them after it was over :) i have the best parents!

Image

Image

best. day. ever.

Image

Image
Image

flip flops floated away, and these boys had some splashing good fun, and the next day was pretty awesome too - worms were everywhere!!!

baseball boys

baseball was a little less official in raymond than in az, but beckam was just as intense and loved playing another season with his friends :)

Image

mads helped out here and there - or at least pretended to!

Image

Image





Image

the final game ended in some water balloon baseball, and the boys were in heaven!

Image

Image

thanks coach michel of a great season - go grey!

worm king

there are so many things to love about our little maddie boy, but one of our favorites is his love for bugs, especially worms!

Image

Image

Image

i'm not sure when it happened or if just in his genetic make up, but he loves all things squishy and squirmy and grandma digging in the garden means worm heaven for this boy!

Image

Image

he was so excited to create his own little worm world in his bug container :)
