The 4th

 4th of July was great this year.  We always do the same stuff, and it's always fun.  I love celebrating my country with an excess amount of family time!

Father's Day 2013

The kids and I are the luckiest, most blessed people to have this man in our lives!

Ben. is. the. best.  end of story :)

family picnic

My cousin,  Amy and her family, were in town a few weeks ago.  They are from Texas so we don't see them much.  We got together for a picnic, and for our kids to play together.  It was awesome to have her son Kaden around for Luke.  Luke doesn't have any boys his age around, so it was great to see him have a friend.

 

 

It was also my nephew's birthday, so my Mom brought a cake for Adam.

 

 

Love these silly kids

baseball and tball 2013

Luke had his 3rd year of baseball this spring, and Abigail had her first year of tball.  Luke's games were Monday/Wednesday, and Ab's were Tuesday/Thursday.  It was busy, but fun.  Carly and Hailey started to get sick of spending every night of the week at the park, but they managed :)

 Luke is really improving with each year, he's doing well.  Abigail surprised me a bit with how serious she took it.  She ran her little heart out.

 

 

 

I don't know who the little girl on the right is, but she was not loving the game.

 Some of Ab's friends on the team, Ellie and Keelee.
