Enjoying Summer


We are enjoying the warm summer weather! The kids love to play in the backyard, visit parks, visit Papa and Nana, and visit Grandpa and Grandma. 


Greta thought sweet potatoes was much better than green beans.



Asa is such a great brother to Greta. He takes good care of her and she love him!

Eli and Asa love to look for inch worms in our backyard. I was shocked with how many they found at once!


Asa loves his Tiggy. Every day he seems to misplace Tiggy around the house and we have to pull out a search party for Tiggy before bedtime. He cannot sleep without his beloved Tiggy.



Inch worms on his face!



The boys had fun painting outside the other day.



Excited to go to church!



Last Sunday we had a great time spending time at Papa and Nana's house. It was a beautiful day.


Greta is sitting up by herself very well.



I love how proud my Dad is to be a Grandpa.


Eli was so excited to find a toad! A highlight of the day was watching Eli chase Nana all around the house with his toad. I have not seen my Mom run like that in a long time!

Poor Greta, this was her reaction after trying green beans for the first time. She did eat it all though!
