Weekend Visitors

Over the weekend, we had a few visitors. Grandpa and Grandpa Hoesli, Uncle Thom, and Grandpa Mark came to visit. Everyone arrived early Friday afternoon. The weather was so nice, so we spent a lot of time outside. We grilled out, the kids swam, and we all enjoyed spending time with each other.

Mini Vacation

Sheldon had to make a trip to OKC last week, so the boys and I tagged along. The week started off with a lot of rain. It lasted a couple of days, but we made the most of it. We went shopping, to the zoo, to the movies, played at the park, and went to the splash pad. 

It was a nice get away and I am so glad we were able to go! 

Park Fun

A new park opened up in our town and we have been frequent visitors. The boys love to play and have a picnic. I love that my kitchen stays clean. It's a win-win for everyone! 

I had to take Max into the doctor for what I thought was an ear infection. It turned out to be swimmers ear. I guess he has had a little too much pool time this summer. 

He is already 49 inches tall and he weighs 59 pounds. He is going to be taller than me before long!!

Cutest Baby

Over 4th of July weekend, we went to a neighboring town to participate in all of their festivities. They had a parade and the boys loved seeing the vehicles. They really enjoyed all of the candy they collected!

We also entered Eli in baby contest. It was only $5 and we just thought, "Why not?!". He was in the 13-24 month category and he won! Granted he was only competing against 4 kids, but he was the cutest by far.

A couple of weeks ago, Sheldon went to Venezuela to take a couple of customers deep sea fishing. He had a great time, but we all missed him while he was gone.



The boys were so thrilled when it was finally time to go and pick him up at the airport. They may have ran past security when they saw Sheldon to hug him. whoops.



We tried to make the most of our time while he was away and have some fun too. We had friends over, played outside and inside, went to the bounce house, did a little cleaning, and the boys even found time to make a "fart hole".

Fourth of July

We had such a great 4th. We had a few friends over. All the kids swam and we grilled out.

When it started getting dark, we all drove over to the lake to watch the fireworks.

The kids liked the fireworks, but they were much more interested in the glow sticks I picked up at Walmart.

We had a great holiday and are so thankful for our freedoms!

Summer Fun

We are enjoying our summer and having a blast. Summer seems like it's flying by and we are making the most of it.
We play outside quite a bit, spend time with friends, and do activities at home. I bought a tie dye kit and the boys had so much fun making shirts. The big boys each made their own and they made Eli's together.
