Busy Summer!

Wow, where has this month gone?  June flew by so quickly.

Morgan graduated from high school and is getting ready to go to college.  Really?  She's growing up way too fast.  The boys had a blast playing at Jace and Kelli's house.  There's always so much for them to do and explore.  And the fact that there's so much room for them to run around helps a lot.

We had a fun trip to the zoo.  JoJo came with us.  The boys loved all of the animals.  The giraffes were my favorite.  They were snuggling!  The boys each got to pick out a toy from the gift shop.  Bennett chose a stuffed animal - a leopard seal and Nolan chose a Beaver (which I named Bart).

We celebrated Maggie and Mollie's birthdays together with a party at our house.  It was a lot of fun.  The whole family got together, which is very rare these days.

The boys absolutely loved 4th of July.  They couldn't get enough of the fireworks!  Of course, they were the legal (wimpy compared to Washington) ones and were completely safe.  We spent a night at the trailer the weekend after the 4th and it was so much fun.  Blaze did amazing.  He has been such an amazing addition to our family.  There's no shortage of attention for the 11 pound sassy guy.

One of my younger sisters got married this last weekend.  Weather was perfect (a little muggy) and it was a really beautiful ceremony and celebration.  The boys wore their tuxedos.  Bennett was amazing - so handsome and well behaved.  Nolan, on the other hand, was just getting over being sick, so he wasn't in the greatest mood.  Thankfully, he perked up at the end and we had a good time.

Here's the pictures to sum up our last month:

This is how Nolan sleeps sometimes.  Yes, everything
is on his pillow - loveys, bear, and blanket.
