Sweet Summertime

I just don't know how I'm going to handle summer being over. We have had such a great summer and I don't want to see it go. I am usually not like this but I think school last year just burned me out and I have enjoyed the freedom of the break. 

Here are a few fun adventures from lately...

9 month pictures

Here are just a few of Henry's 9month pictures that are actually 10 month pictures 😀

I thought they turned out great and I am glad that I get to have all of them because I could not decide to which ones  I like the best. 

4th of July

We started celebrating early and continued all the way until the last firreworks were shot.... or that's the way it felt.

We spend the weeekend up at the lake. I was all worried about the weather but it ended up being a prett nice weekend. 

The boat parade was super fun.... and winning made it even more fun 😀🇺🇸

The girls were so excited and had to bring their trophies home to be displayed. 

Henry was thrillled too... as you can see. 

Ha! He spent the time napping which made us all happy. 

The competition was strong this year. All the boats looked so cute and festive. 

We cam home Monday and on the 4th we spent the morning doing some work around the house and went for a bike ride. Then we cooked lunch and walked down to the Freedom Featival. It was a fun time of games and rides and food. 

Other than loosing the girls for about 5 minutes we all had a great time and all learned a lesson about not running off 

We left the festival a little early and hurried home and watched the firewor show from out back yard 😍

10 months

This sweet little bit turned 10 months the end of June. 

I cannot believe we are here. 

He is the wildest, roughest, fussiest, squirmiest child I have ever met but oh how I love him. 

He loves to climb and explore.  The dishwasher is one of his most favorite things. He loves pulling out all the silverware and his newest trick is climbing on top of it.

He loves being out side. If he feels like he is going to be left inside while others are outside he lets you know he's not happy about it. 

He loves the water. And not just splashing around in it. He takes full force face dives into it and if he makes it up without chocking he laughs and does it again. 

He loves rocks and little things that he can stuff in his mouth. If he sees you coming he crams it in and tries to act like he doesn't have anything. 

He says mama, dada, night night, eya "Ellie", and ana " Annie. He loves his sisters and loves being right in the middle of them. 

He loves eating and will fuss and give you a earful if you don't feed him fast enough. 

Here are some things we want to remember about you at 10 months 

- how sweet white hair. It is lighter than your sisters ever were and I think it's so sweet and so does everyone else.

- how sweet voice and how you babble and talk. You point to things off in the distance like you are telling us all about something.

- your fat square feet. I think they are the custest and I hope they stay like that forever. 

- your crawl. You crawl like your sister Annie up on your feet and I just love it. 

- how much you love to explore. I feel like you are going to be busy and curious always.

-how you give the sweetest big wide open kisses. They are slimy but so so sweet. 

Our sweet Henry.... how we love you. 

13 and 17

June is celebration craziness for our family. 

Birthdays, Father's Day, anniversaries...

Our 17th dating anniversary was on June 16.

That's right... 17 years with this guy right here and I wouldn't change one thing. 

Our wedding anniversary was June 25. ..13 whole years. Wow! How time flies!

We celebrated by going out to eat at Hot and Hot Fish Club which is somewhere we have talked about going for a long time so it was fun to finally go.  

I cannot wait for many more years with you!
