Miscellaneous Fun in July

Brody swimming...he has become quite the swimmer this summer, which we are thrilled about.  He's a little hesitant to get into the water because of the temperature, but once he's in, he's kicking his feet and moving his arms and becomes a fish.

Maddi has been a great swimmer, but has also made great strides this year. 

Andy has been with us a lot this summer...in case you haven't noticed.

Maddi and my cousin William

William wakesurfing...Brock got him started in the beginning of July and he's been out with us quite a few times since and has really gotten good at it and enjoys it quite a bit as well.

Daddy & Brody...swimming buds.  Mom's not been much for it this year.

having so much fun!

Maddi passed out on the dock one day while all the other kids are swimming and playing around her.

Brody also napping.  I guess the sun and swimming wears a kid out!

Brock wakesurfing...he has gotten much better this summer and is really enjoying it.  He's surfing with the rope here, but has gotten really good without it.

too much sun!

we came home one day to this beautiful pie on our dining room table and although we didn't know for sure, it didn't take us long to realize it was from Brock's mom, who is amazing at baking...it was so pretty, we didn't want to dig in, but of course it tasted just as good as it looks.

Maddi, Kahlen, Boo, and Andy have been hard at work building up their lemonade stand this summer  This was an application they made and handed out to the other neighborhood kids.  They had the kids fill them out and then would have them come back for an interview, which they held on Boo and Kahlen's deck.  They then called the kids back if they got the job.  Too funny! These kids were onto something...they probably made around $75!
