Well, since tomorrow is the first day of school, I'm gonna try and get caught up on all of July and August:)  The first week of July, Steve and Freya's family from Indian were here in KS so we had lots of family time together!

The two older boys had a "sleepover" -- and we managed to fit in some pool time.  It was really mild, so the water was a little on the "chilly" side!

Kayla insisted that EVERYONE sleep in the basement -- no one was going to be excluded!

There may or may not have been ice cream involved with lots of toppings!

This was the only pic I got from the bike parade for the 4th of July.

We made our voyage to Chuck E Cheese . . .

Grandpa and Emmy

Uncle Brian and Westin

Joshua and Max taking it very seriously!

Everyone came over for a bit to see some fireworks -- you're looking not so comfy there, Carly!

Just waiting for it to get dark!

One night, we all went to Brian and Carly's for grilling, fireworks, etc.  We had quite the game of kickball going!

Grandpa and Emmy

Johnny and Jordy -- like father like son . . . minus the toothpick!

Brian took us on quite the hayrack ride -- it was really fun!

Just pretending, right?????

Lots of baseball/softball

Even for grandma!

And, on an unrelated note, we had a HUGE mirror in our bathroom . . . like 10 feet long and 4 feet high.  It HAD to go!  So, down the stairs . . .

 . . . out the door, and to the curb it went.  It's amazing how fast people come after a "FREE" 

listing on Craigslist!  Thanks Micah and Sam for helping (or should I say, being in the wrong place at the wrong time!!!!)
