Summer pics

These are just a few from our trip to Texas to visit the Graham cousins and Aunt Lissy and Uncle Gary.  Fun trip. It was me and the kids and they enjoyed the time.  We visited the Heard Museum and covered about a 2.5 mile hike with 12 kids and two moms!

Hard to catch, so a little blurry, but this guy is standing on his own more and more!

First Day - a New Version

The first day of school rolled around last week.  This year looks a bit different.  After much discernment, prayer, and research, we decided to try homeschooling.  So away we go.  I still had to capture some pictures.  Luke was still sleeping, so he missed out.  Here's the rest of the gang:

 

 

May the fun begin!

Happy First Birthday, Luke!

Wow. Luke is one already!  Leyton even said it perfectly, "I don't want Lukey to be one. I want him to stay a baby."  So do I, but I'm excited to see him change, too. He's standing well, almost walking.  He enjoyed his cake very much after his favorite meal of spaghetti.  It was a great day. His shirt has a "1" on it, but that not is so busy it was hard to catch a good picture!  We sure love him.  And good thing, Patrick was in town this year! Ha, ha.  Sweet sweet boy.

The things we choose to wear...

Even when we don't have to!!

Poolside fun

 

We've had a cooler summer. Hope we can fit in a few more days at the pool!

Ready for Action!

The older two are playing fall baseball with a new team. They seem to have some great coaches, and they say the practices are, "the best ever, like MLB!"  Good to see them having fun. We bought some catcher's gear - he's ready to go! Looks like we will also have a pitcher/short stop. First game is next week.
