Just a Couple More...

I found a couple more pictures on my phone that I wanted to share...

Kelsey has gymnastics two days a week, so the boys and I will often go to the park. This has been their favorite thing to do....take their shoes off and get in the water! We can spend hours passing time this way - it's so fun!

Here is a picture of Kelsey with her best friend at the gym, Braci. This was taken at camp at the beginning of the summer. Kelsey has learned several new skills at the gym this summer, and we are so proud of her! If I can figure out how to get videos from my phone uploaded I'll share them:)  (If any of you already know how to do this, please share!)

Life in Pictures....

       To say our lives have been busy is an understatement. I can't even really tell you what we've been doing...we just haven't been home much this summer. Part of it is due to the fact that I have been working two days a week at the family business. I really enjoy being at the office, and I'm very glad I have been able to help out, but I had my very own pity party this morning over it (something I'm not too proud of!). It's really hard to leave the kids and feel like they have spent their entire summer with a babysitter. Yes that's a little dramatic because it's only two days a week! Maybe God is trying to teach me a little compassion for all of the moms who also work full time. So, my morning has been spent praying for all you moms out there who manage to work full time and also find time to keep up with your house and spend quality time with your family!

       Ok enough of that! We have actually had a pretty great summer. I have a lot more pictures on my camera, but since I haven't found time to put them on the computer, these few pictures from my phone will have to do:)

We went to Deep River Waterpark up by Valpo one day. It was a little chilly that day, but the kids didn't mind too much. Heather and Linsey met us there...it was a great day!

The kids have begged and begged for us to take them to Uncle Gordon's pond, so we found time for that one evening.

Landon's All-Star team. That was a busy (but fun) week of baseball!

Francesville garage sale day was very rainy this year! Maddox and his cousin Anna had fun standing out by the road to let people know we ha a garage sale inside:)

The other kids, Kelsey, Landon, and their cousins Linsey and Drew, had fun playing baseball in the rain!

The whole crew...soaked from head to toe!

This past weekend we went to Prophetstown to go camping. What a fun place!! We had a wedding in Lafayette on Saturday, so we decided to make it a weekend event:) We really enjoyed this campground and will definitely go back:)

We have a few more things planned for the summer that we are looking forward to....Indiana Beach, another camping trip next weekend, hopefully a trip to the dunes, and who knows what else! Summer will be over before we know it, so we are going to enjoy it while it's still here! School starts August 12th this year, just 3 short weeks away! Yikes!
