Mid July Summer Loving

We have been enjoying our summer to the fullest! It has been warm so we have spent many days swimming at the lakes near our home. 


Swimming at Coon Lake with my dear friend Tracy and her family.


We had a blast when Sam and his family came over for dinner. The kids loved going down our slip in slide together!


These three love to play in the dirt and I am thankful for them. They play well together.


Greta enjoys playing with her Care Bears like my sisters and I did when we were growing up. Asa wanted to be in the picture too.



Greta makes the funniest faces!


The pink dress is still her favorite!


Dinner with friends!


Out for ice cream!


They are the cutest.


A few weeks ago they started breaking ground on our home addition. The kids loved to watch!




Last Friday evening we had a family movie night. The kids were cozy in their pjs and they watched Mary Poppins for the first time. They loved it and it was fun for Brian and I to watch it again!


Last week we had fun having our friends Zack and Jody Gray from the Connect Marriage retreat and Andrew and Janelle over for dinner and a campfire. The kids got along great!












Eating breakfast with these three on our back deck is my favorite way to start the day.



We love our backyard!





Breakfast!


Yesterday I made Puppy Chow for the kids for the first time!


Last week we had a blast at the Vick cabin! We had perfect weather! We spent our time swimming, fishing, and boating!




























We had the best time celebrating our 11th anniversary last Saturday! We stayed at a B & B on a riverboat on Harriet Island in St. Paul. We enjoyed walking around St. Paul and eating dinner at WA Frost on the lovely patio. 


Last week we had such a fun time with Becky, Danny, and the second cousins! They came over for dinner and we enjoyed a campfire in the evening. The cousins all played together well!



Looking for frogs and toads together!





Cousin Stair Step!


The kids saying "hi" to Greta over there!





The girls loved the hammock!



The horse swing and the sandbox were both big hits.
