Its been a while...

Summer is busy! And life moves way too fast these days.

I can't believe it is already the end of July. Where are my lazy summer days?

Anyways, my lens broke on my camera & i just got my new one in the mail yesterday.

But I have some photos that I haven't posted with the kiddos & their cousins.

We have had almost all my sisters stay with us this summer & we've loved every little visit.

We've done a lot of this....running thru the sprinklers!

Seriously one of the best things about summer & being a kid.

I love everything about this picture EXCEPT the squinty eyes.

We were able to have Ally with us for us few days. She is my oldest sisters youngest. We had such a good time with her.

I have a funny story about my 2 sisters kids.

They want their hair done & clothes on immediately after they wake up. It is bizarre to me. We don't get dressed sometimes till early afternoon if that. Sometimes it just doesn't happen at all. So whenever I have Mindi or Megans kids we are ready first thing in the a.m. It makes me laugh so hard cause that is sooooo my older sisters!!

Ok the best thing about this photo is my niece Lucy in the right hand corner. She's yelling at something or someone. But if you look closely, we are all smiling at the camera & Luke is giving Lucy the look of death. Classic.

Sometimes my parents pool looks like the regular city pools on a Saturday afternoon jammed pack with kids. Except the best part of it is that all the kids are cousins (& we don't have to worry about any nasty pool spreading disease)! I didn't have cousins my age or really even close to my age growing up. I want them to know how lucky they are to have that.

The fam went to Little Mermaid (with kids) & Grease (no kids) at Tuachan a few weeks back.

Both shows were great but i enjoyed Little Mermaid a little bit more. The special effects are amazing. & my kids LOVED it. They sat thru the whole thing & didn't make a peep.

I love Tuachan mostly cause I spent an entire summer there after High School but also for the scenery. It is such a beautiful setting. No where else like it.

Thanks mom & dad!!!!

Megan & I took our crew to the zoo & they were able to fit in quite nicely ;)

And one last shot tonight of my youngest.

He has been extremely whiney & crabby the past week (maybe even month)

And as I was brushing his 4 bottom teeth tonight, I think i found out why.

He's got a bunch of teeth just about to break thru his gums.

Poor guy.

Worst teether ever!
