Summer Fun! - Part 4

A couple of weeks ago, Allison and her family came to visit us for the weekend. Much to our surprise, Grammy and Papa came too. We spent one day at the the beach and had a blast.

Excited but nervous. He did okay despite the few tears.

Summer Fun! - Part 3

The weekend before school started we went camping down by the beach with about 10 families and these are all of the kids that ran wild in our campground :) Fun times and many memories.

Good morning baby girl! Someone combed her hair with a mix master and the booger on her cheek tops it all. So innocent but cute!

So tired! I guess Jaxson figured if he was gonna take a nap, he might as well try and tan his white cheeks.

Happy Birthday Landon!

Landon's 8th birthday was lots of fun. He chose to invite a few friends to K1 Speed, where they were all able to race in race cars on a big, indoor race track. All of the kids, and even Papa, had a blast. We had fun watching them. Landon is ready to race!

Vrrroooom!

Grammy and Megan chillin while the boys race.

Cam and Jaxson enjoyed playing air hockey together.

Here he comes again! Go Landon!

Uh oh! Papa is gaining on ya!

The top three drivers earned a medal and all of them received a t-shirt.

All that racing made us hungry for some ice cream. Yummy!

Summer Fun! - Part 2

Aloha! from Maui

We enjoyed the week of July 4th in paradise with some of Josh's family. It was the first time in HI for the boys and they had a great time. They had fun playing with their cousins and sight seeing around the beautiful island. It was a memorable family vacation. Our first day at the beach. The boys loved the water and tried snorkeling for the first time.

Landon is ready to see some fish.

Daddy and Jaxson

Cameron loved the sand.

And so did all the others :)
