July fun

So, whenever I empty my camera, I pick out a few pictures to put on my desktop to add to the blog. Well, now that SO many have collected on my desktop I guess it is time to actually get them on here!

For as slow as the first week of August was, July seemed to go by pretty quickly. It was full of hot days and fun in the sun for the kids.

The got to play in the pool a lot!

Andrew really took to it and loved being in the water.

Addison just liked to splash it with her hands. She was cute anyways.

We got the bounce house out during the 4th of July weekend, and as you can see, we really did play hard that weekend. Brayden fell asleep in it. He said he was just drying off, but he was totally out. So cute.

We also got lucky and found two cars on craigslist for the babies!! They were even being sold by the same lady so I didn't even have to run around finding two separate places!

They really think they are great!

I love how Addison made it all the way to the garage. She looks like she is waiting for it to open so she can go and park her car. Silly girl.

Evan and Brayden like to find interesting bugs. They came in the house one day with this little beauty. It turns out it's really a common moth caterpillar that we should see a lot, but really no one does from what we could tell. Evan did a whole discovery sheet on this little guys. He's pretty weird looking.

This was on our way to church one day, it's just a plain cute picture.

Addison and Andrew like to wrestle together a little. They get a little crazy and then someone usually ends up crying, but it's cute up until that happens.

These were the best shots I could get of them "wrestling".

Some friends came and visited who used to live here, and we all met at a park to play. The kids love going to parks!

Brayden still loves to say a cheesy cheese while taking photos.

Addison and Evan play pretty well together at times. He is a big helper with the babies and they really love him.

He even let Addison be in the front a couple of times.

Addison likes getting into things by herself. She was having fun with this one because it was just her size.

Evan likes posing for pictures and getting good shots. He's the only one I could ever get to do this. At this point anyway.

Josh and the two older boys then went on a hike up the falls. The playground was at the bottom area of the falls, and they decided it would be a nice hike up. I drove to the top with the twins and met them there. The boys seemed to do well. Evan really enjoyed the hike, but Brayden was getting worn out by the end.

As you can tell, again Evan is posing for a picture. He likes getting all dressed up and taking an action photo. He's a lot of fun. Brayden has really enjoyed playing with him and vice versa. They both have a hard time playing if the other one is doing something else, or not around for the time being.

Well, let's hope that I keep up better with the blog so we don't have anymore of these kind of blogs where it's all rushed and nothing gets said well. Have a great rest of the summer!!
