Last swim meet

The kids had their last swim meet of the summer on Wednesday. It was a "championship meet"...whatever that means...so there were quite a few different teams there and more competition.

It was fun seeing all three of them compete and do their best. They have all improved so much in swimming (and they are actually pretty good at it!)

 Kylah loved doing swim with her sweet friend Jane.

More fun friends including the Harris' and Adams' swam too!

Oh Norah...you just gotta love her.

What a fun new sport. And all the kids want to do it again next summer!

Nunamaker's visit!

 Greg, Amy, Olivia and Logan came to visit for a quick weekend. We packed a lot of fun in those few days though! We actually haven't seen them for a few years (never again!!), so it was fun to catch up. Our kids picked right up where they left off too!

We enjoyed a great steak dinner on the Egg, of course. :)

We visited a local swimming hole and did some floating and cliff jumping. 

These kids are getting so big!

Logan loves to bake, so he taught Joey a few things. This was breakfast...pancakes with homemade frosting and apples. It was quite delicious!

 Hard at work.

Dads versus sons in basketball.

It was great catching up with this sweet friend and hearing all about what God is doing in her and her family's lives.

We need to do this again soon!

4th of July

Our 4th of July celebration actually started on July 3rd. Our neighbors hosted a party for the neighborhood. There was food, drinks, swimming, yard games, and then fireworks. It was so much fun!

I don't think our neighbors realized how competitive Dave, Meredith, Joe and I all are. We played cornhole quite a few times because the games were so intense. :)

On July 4th we headed over the Jackson and Krista's house for swimming, food and fireworks. We all had a great time again.

One of the families had a new goldendoodle puppy they brought. He was adorable!

Norah was slowly overcoming her fear of loud fireworks and actually lit her first one! Joey was being a very good brother and helping her. :)

These sweet kiddos had a blast.

Happy 4th!
