Summertime!

Summer began and along with it come lots of fun and lots of landry! Having a baby to tote around this summer adds a new twist and a lot of more work, but it's of course all worth it. Here is what we have been up to:

Mariner's Game: For Landon and Mason this is "Pure Joy!"
And as a bonus The Mariner's even won!

Zeke made Jacob this little bed under our seat. He was quite comfortable and it gave our arms a little bit of a rest.
4th of July! The kids participated in the kids parade on Tapps Island. They all decorated their bikes and enjoyed following the fire truck around the Island. I only made it about 1/2 mile, keeping up with bikes in flip flops carrying a baby was a little more then I could handle. Zeke went the rest of the way.







We also met our new cousin Quinn, he is one month older than Jacob. He's a cutie and we loved meeting him. They are different in size, but have some similarity in looks.


Grandpa feeling proud!Then too the water.....



The kids had fun riding the tube behind the wave runner. Lydia was the biggest daredevil. She rode all by herself and while out there would only ask us to go faster with the hand signals.
On Saturday we went boating on the Sound. It was a perfect day to be out on the water.


(Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for taking us on your boat!)
"I thought Dad was reading you a story:)"

All 3 kids were in swimming lessons the last 2 weeks. They each learned so much more. The boys are getting better at their form and correct breathing techniques, and Lydia is a fish, she is now swimming by herself for several feet.





Our summer fun is about to take a break, due to Landon and Mason's oral surgery which will take place this week.
