Summer

I haven't taken nearly as many pictures this summer as I should have.  The kids are growing like weeds and I need to do a better job of documenting it.  This is one happy Benjamin cashing in on an agreement with Mom.
I took Ben and AJ to Toy's R US because Benjamin earned his Spiderman Web Shooter.  He stayed dry for 3 nights in a row.  He was some excited.  AJ was content on the toys outside of the store.


 We meet Slavka and Calista and their families and ventured to Canajoharie to play in some waterfalls.  We loved spending time with them and the kids relished the chance to play in the water.

 Our first experience with Gum in the hair.  It resulted in shorter locks.  Lily smiled all the way through it and likes her hair cut.
 Lily playing with Lydia at Grandma's.  It is nice to have cousins that live relatively close by.

 We have arrived at the Van stage of our lives and are selling the Vue.  Someone is going to get a good deal as the vue only has 50K miles on it and no rust.  We bought the van from the mission and I love it!!! None of the children touch eachother and there is no howling about that, additionally when we have Conor and Andrew we have room for everyone.
 I couldn't resist posting this one.  This is a pretty common schene in our home.  King Benjamin just finished 6 weeks of swimming lessons.  He is so excited about riding the school bus to pre-K this fall.  Mommy is aprehensive and can't believe he's old enough to go to school.  Where has the time gone?
