June fun

We loved getting into the routine of "no routine" over the summer! :) What a nice change of pace! Here are some fun things we did in the month of June ...

Ian went to his best friend, Caleb's, birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. His hair is spiky since it was Crazy Hair Day at Vacation Bible School at our church (which, by the way, Ryan attended, too. Ryan enjoyed his time with other three-year-olds, which Kim helped to teach. Nathan was a champ in the church nursery during that time, even though he let us know it wasn't his favorite place to be. :))

We spoiled Daddy on Father's Day. Here's a photo collage for Daddy's desk to let him know that "We love you, Daddy!"

We went to our neighborhood pool a LOT! We also had family dinners most Sunday evenings. This particular Sunday, we went swimming as an extended family before we had dinner together -- double win!

We sort of took over the kiddie pool. Thankfully, there weren't many other people at the pool this day. :)

The littlest two, Isaiah and Nathan, enjoyed splashing as much as their older cousins/brothers.

We also played with water in our own backyard a few times throughout June. (That's what you have to do in order to spend time outside in the Texas summer! :))

One day, while playing outside, Ian caught a lizard. Both Ian and Ryan are amazingly fast at catching these little guys.

Ian continued to sleep with his stuffed snake from Uncle Jason and Aunt Amy.

One day, the boys had to get some frozen toys out of an ice block as a fun activity. They thought it was great to pound on the ice and throw it down on the ground.

We tried to get in as much cuddle time with our ever-growing nephew, Isaiah, as we could.

Matt and I celebrated our 12-year anniversary on June 14. We enjoyed a relaxing evening at The Melting Pot, a fancy fondue restaurant, while our boys played with Jason and Amy.

We also went to visit our good friend from church, Mrs. W., at her nursing home. She was excited to hold baby Nathan.

The older boys were excited to read books and play games with her. She's such a fun lady!

Yay for summer! :)
