Siblings, Friends and Family

After this post I will finally be caught up with blogging. I have been 2 months behind for a while. So, this summer we have spent ALOT of time swimming next door. One morning I decided to take Madeline with us to the spray park. Sidney is not a big fan of actually getting in the spray water (she loves the pool though!). The older kids loved it!



We spent the days around the 4th with friends. We had a wonderful cookout with the Marlars. Avery and Leyton are getting so big! I just love their white blonde hair. Sidney loves playing with them.




A few days later we took our slip-n-slide over to the Fish house and let the kids, joined by the Sumner girls, have a blast getting wet.
Look at all those kids!!!

The Sumners will be adding a new member in just a few more weeks!!

This past Friday we took a trip down to Alabama to visit my parents for a few days before heading to Hattiesburg for some school meetings. We had fun swimming nearly all day Saturday, eating watermelon, playing in the jumping house with Ava and Maleigh and riding the 4 wheeler with Papa.


We then drove to Hattiesburg to visit Grandma and Grandpa. I helped take the kids bowling for the 1st time. They all loved it, but Linlee and Sidney got tired of it before the rest of us. Conner could have bowled all day. In fact, he scored second highest out of all of us with a 96. He really got into it.



We also went fishing a good bit.






Ben and I came back last night and left the kids to spend a few more days down there. I think getting out in the boat and slip-n-sliding down the hill are in the plans for the rest of the week. It is weekends/weeks like this that help reinforce our decision to move. If it is not in God's timing to happen this summer, maybe next summer we can get back home. We shall see.
