4th of July

We had a fun 4th celebrating independence day, Amanda's birthday and Amanda and JR's engagement! We also celebrated mom & dad never having to pay tuition again...er, Patrick's graduation a couple days later. Patrick is working at a collision repair shop putting his schooling to good use - we are very proud of him!
(Of course I only have pictures of my kids at these event... I need to do better at capturing other people!)

Beach babe

Here are some shots of my cute little beach babe!  At 15 months, he's getting more comfortable with the water but spends most of the time in the sand.

Heat wave

We have found a great way to stay cool and entertain the boys...the garden hose!  The boys love to play with the water! In this crazy heat wave of 90 and 100-plus degrees we don't get to spend much time outside.  But we try to get out early in the morning or later in the evenings.

Luke said they were driving to a movie....in 16 years I'll have to "re-capture" this picture. :)
