We went camping twice this summer. This was the first time. We went with Lizzy's side of the family. Then a week later we went again with my side (next post). We went to bed pretty early. We were lying in the tent for along time. The kids made me tell them a story. I swear I was talking straight without stopping for like 40 minutes and they wanted to keep going. Finally I told them to just close their eyes and sleep. They were pretty good through the night, even though our air mattress had a slow leak and every move I made it sent them into the air. Mom had a cot...I was so jealous, I bought one for myself for the following campout.

I am over-indulging a little bit here. I want to say this was a Sunday morning. Liz sleeps in and I get to hang with the kids all by myself. They were just playing and so I grabbed the camera. I guess I got carried away. Regardless, here are a bunch of pictures in a row. -S

(Above) This one is from a summer picnic in the park with some other families.

(Below) The kids, with their cousins, hanging out in the backyard. Figured you might be getting sick of just seeing our kids on this blog.

(below) I want to say this was at the girly's graduation from pre-school. Patient little guy.

(below) She did well in her second year of swimming. She is on the 'Dolphins' in case you couldn't tell. She improved in her time every week. I love that she wins her heats, climbs out of the pool and instantly asks for a donut. Every time. 

I wish I knew how to swim.

(below) Not sure what this one is from...cute kid.

(below) And one last one of her in swimsuit.

Lizzy's sister had a baby and she was blessed at church by her daddy. Like I said before, the kids love playing with their cousins. Is it just me or does it seem like Sundays are the prettiest days of the week? -S

Aaah...the carefree days at home. Relaxing summers with the kids. It is a sweet time and we wish we could freeze time and cherish it more. Our daughter is going to start school soon and it will never be the same. This is a typical silly face day for these kiddos. -S
