Oh my, What happened to July??

I can say without a doubt that this is probably one of the best summers I have ever had. My children are starting to act a little more human-like than beast-like so we have been able to do lots of fun things. I can hardly believe July is already almost over and that we will have to start winding down our summer and preparing for the school year. We have packed so much fun in the last two months that I feel like I need a nap daily while the kids nap! I will admit that we are fun seekers and always on the go and we like it that way!

These are all pictures from our last trip to the cabin...
Ella was earning bonus points for favorite child because she LOVED the fish that Ryan cooked for them. Jack on the other had was trying so hard to eat it to please his dad. He would take a bite and immediately have to go spit it out. He earns points in my book because I think fish is nasty too!
Grandma Rosie with the kiddo's.

Jack putting his fellow munchkins in a headlock. This is always the pose I get when I say "give them a hug!"

Ella's idea of a good time fishing is rooting around in Ryan's backpack for a snack. This day she found some and immediately had the boys begging for some of her loot!




Okie and Jack... I'm not sure what kind of plan they were coming up with but I'm pretty sure it couldn't have been a good one!



Ryan with his prized fish... to give him credit I think this was the smallest one they caught that day and yes he put it back!

One of my favorite things about Ryan is that he truely LOVES to do things with his kids. He always wants them right there and involved with what he is doing. I know most times this make it tons more work for him but the kids absolutely love doing things with him. I want them to remember how much their dad loved doing things with them even when they were way too little to appreciate it. He always takes Okie under his wing too and includes him in what he is doing even though it's just one more little pest to have to keep track of. :)



Now I just hope August doesn't fly by quite as fast as the rest of the summer has!
