Legos

Don't want to forget lego time with this little guy. Guess I can't really call him little anymore as he's approaching 8 years old! He prefers his pants ripped and his hair crazy. But he still wants mom or dad to play legos and hug him before bed.

Melanie's 9 year old session

Took Melanie and the kids down to my favorite spot in Old Town to try and get some pics of our new 9 year old. We had fun, but it was just too hot, so we didn't stay long. Here were some fun pics from our shoot.

 And had to get some of this cutie too!

July 4th Weekend

We had a great holiday weekend! Headed out to the beach on Saturday and stayed ALL day. The kid's loved boogie boarding, swimming and playing in the sand. The beach is definitely more fun as the kids get older.

On Sunday we headed out to Grammy's!

 Grammy has been teaching Melanie how to knit!

Then Monday we celebrated with sparklers and glow sticks in the backyard.

Gotta love 3 day weekends filled with fun.

Library

The last few summers we've joined the summer reading program at the library. It gives us something to do, the kid's love picking out books each week and Mom loves the free coupons that they get each week because that gives us even more things to do for free! We made some fun bags this year too so it's easier to keep track of all the library books! After this particular trip, we headed to Pat and Oscar's for our free meals.

If only we lived closer to all of our cousins so we could all go together!!
