Summer! June and July 2018

We had lots of fun!!

Mommy and daddy went to see Jim Gaffigan. We did Pack Shack. Mommy had two weddings!

Summer started with Nana and Suan here because mommy had to do some days for work.

Then Brody and Payton did swim lessons. You both did awesome and have improved so much!!! We did this for two weeks! Brecken didn't do swim lessons, but he loves water!!! Loves baths, and pools, and the splash pad!

We celebrated daddy on Fathers Day!! We got to spoil him and show him how much we love him!

Then Nana and Papa took the kids to grandparents week in Branson. Brecken did not go, but Brody and Payton did. Yall had to go a day late because Papa had a stroke! Thankfully he is ok!!!

Yall went to Silver Dollar City, a few shows, and swam a lot. Mommy, daddy and Brecken came on Thursday and stayed the night. On Friday we all went to the Roaring River waterslide. It is so fun!! Payton - you are not a fan yet. But Brody - you loved it! From there, our family headed to cabins for camping with our life group. We stayed Friday night and most of Saturday but had to get home for church.

Then we were home for a week and then Nana and Papa came back! Mommy and daddy headed off to camp! We had a great time with our students and yall had fun with Nana and Papa!

Brecken, when I got back this week we weaned fully from nursing. :( sad day!

We got home on Monday and the next Sunday we headed out for Colorado! We went with Lolly and Peeps and Stephanie and Matt and Molly and Emery. We went to the zoo and North Pole City. We took hikes and relaxed. It was lots of fun!

The next Sunday, daddy dedicated baby Emmie to the Lord. We headed home Monday. On Wednesday, mommy headed to Missouri for a girl weekend with Nana and Lynnlee! We got massages, went shopping, and relaxed! You guys got a couple days with just daddy!

Mommy got back and the next wednesday had surgery! Sayer and Jenn came over and watched you and Mommy's surger went well.

On Friday, Brody and Payton went to stay at a friend's house so mommy could rest. Payton went to Carrigan's, and Brody went to Gunner's. Yall had so much fun!!!

On July 26, mommy and daddy celebrated 10 years of marriage!! Wahoo! We celebrated on Monday the 23th, since mommy had surgery on the 25. We walked around Crystal Bridges and went to Longhorn Steakhouse.

Brecken, you are fully walking!! Everywhere! You have about 10 teeth and say mama, dada, bye bye, more, all done, ball, hot, water, bath. Payton, you are growing and such a fun girl. We quit gymnastics and are starting dance! Brody, you are ready for first grade and growing in to a sweet young man.
