Summer time BBQ with Jen, Clark, Jon, Kristen and kids!

We always spend the 4th with the Richins. Aunt Tabi brought smoke bombs and sparklers for the kids. Left to right: Finn, Beckham, Stratton.

Aunt Hannah has a cat named Frankie and the girls just love him!

We had a momma bird on our porch this summer. She didn't stay long. I think we were too noisy.

Lila wanted to sleep in the crib. She piled all her things inside it. Funny girl!

Gwen celebrated her second birthday this month. We love our Gwennie!

She was so excited about her birthday!

Gwen got a back pack and a pooh bear that can roll into a ball.

She also got a Lego coloring and sticker book.

Opening more presents.

We had her favorite dinner Cafe Rio complete with Tres Leche cake for desert.

Gwen's Favorite Things:

Winnie-the-Pooh, Batman, her blanket, and anything her brother and sister are doing.

Levi and Finn go camping each summer and this year they also fished.

Me and Lila and Gwen had some fun doing girls stuff while the boys were camping.

This was the first time I painted Gwen's nails and she loved it!

This is another one of our science experiments. Finn helped me make different salt water concentrations with food coloring and then we made layers in a cup. It was pretty cool. 

Lila of course like to do it with us.

Lila and I had a Mommy Daughter date. We went for ice cream and hair cuts. I love one on one time with the kids!

Her hair was getting long!

We try to go to the park a few times a week with and this time we went with friends. This is Finn and one on his best buds Crew.

Jenna and Kait came for a visit and brought the kids. I love visits from family! It make my heart happy.

We of course had to take the kids to the splash pad! To tell you the truth I love playing in the water too!

Beautiful Lila! I love how when she is really happy it just makes her face shine!

Finn was laughing so hard because the water was spraying his bum. 

Beautiful Ava

Gwen was loving it too!

The summer wouldn't be complete without filling up the kids pool once or twice.

Gwen loves to visit with her Grandma Elaine.

Gwen colored with blue crayon all over the pantry door and kitchen floor. Thank goodness for magic erasers!
