Summer Odds & Ends

This post is a mish-mash of lots of summer time fun! 

Dive-In Movie


We did some splashing and 


swimming


and movie watching. 

Big Hero 6! We love our community pool! 

Uncle Flobby babysitting services...
Suckers and Perler Beads! 

Marble Run!

Waffles for dinner! 

Forts and Hulk hands! 

Story time! 

Other odds and ends...

Sweet brothers holding hands in the car! 

Block building!

Celebrating Arie's 3rd Birthday! 

Brady built a few mini golf holes on the side of the house! The cousins always have the best time together! 

Mammoth Heights Fundraiser at Orange Leaf! Mark was traveling so we loved a fun excuse to get out of the house for a sweet treat! 

Of course Brooks chose orange on orange on orange. 

Push Ups with Daddy!

Bike riding with these cool dudes! 

Centennial Splash Park


This park is just so much fun! 




That's Heath and Mark way up there on that hill! 


The playground at the splash park is super fun too! 



A free summer outing, close, easy, and such a good time!

We walked/rode up to Starbucks for a little breakfast one weekend!

We love this walk! 

Labor Day fun at the Cabin! 

Cutie boy cousins! 

A quick park stop

Boyz II Men Date Night with Mark, Brad, & Jayne
The concert was short and sweet, but the Boyz still sounded sooooo good! 

A Neighborhood friends' Birthday Party

Cheering on the Bears! 

A wild Friday night walk to Sonic…
wasp stings, running through sprinklers, saving kiddos from on-coming traffic, Ninja rolls, stroller wheels falling off, collisions…it was an adventure! 



But it was all worth it to make these memories and have funny stories to tell! 

And of course, we squeeeeeezed in every last second of pool time! 


They love spreading out their towels and soaking up some sun during Adult Swim! 

The boys all became such confident swimmers this summer and tried new and fun things in the pool! We now spend most of our time in 7-10 feet of water and love the slide and diving board!

These pictures crack me up! 

We were so proud of these boys for facing their fears and jumping off the diving board. Heath did it last summer, but for some reason was freaked out this summer! Even though he would swim the entire length of the pool in 10 foot water! But by the end of the summer, he finally did it again! And Nolan took a risk too! They were quite proud of themselves as well! 

My tan boy! His back is seriously SO dark. The tan line at his waist is ridiculous! He gets a lot of comments while swimming about his olive skin and light hair and eyes. He sure is a looker! 


We already miss these lazy days at the pool! We got to know so many neighbors and friends better by spending our days together at the pool. And this Mama could actually relax this summer with 3 pretty independent boys in the pool! 

These bronze boys are livin' the good life and we are so grateful! 
Goodbye Summer! We'll be counting down the days until Memorial Day!
