Happy birthday Emma

I am going to try and keep this blog alive, I promise.  for now, I just want to say Happy Birthday Emma.  I miss you so much and although it has been two years the ache is still there as if it were yesterday.   I hope I make you proud on a daily basis and am living in such a way that I can see you again.  I love you to the moon and back!!

Baseball

Logan really enjoyed his first year of baseball.  He spent most of his time sitting on the field or goofing around with his team.  He did have a few great plays in the mix.  We will be back at the ball field next year.

Aaron's blessing

We blessed Aaron while Andy's brother was in town.  It was the start of a crazy week for us but I am glad we were able to have so much family up here.  Andy gave Aaron a beautiful blessing.  Afterwards we had lunch at the park by our house.  I am so grateful for all of our family coming so far to be part of this day.

Slip-N-Slide

The boys favorite activities in the summer always involve water.  Dad was home on this day which meant not only the slip-n-slide but also wrestling.  The boys love when dad gets involved but sometime it can get a little dangerous.  No one is safe when Dad is on the slip-n-slide.

Air Museum

While Andy was off fishing we decided to spend the day at the Air Museum.  Thanks to Facebook we discovered that Jen and her kids were planning on being there as well.  We decided to go together and then go out to lunch after.

Huge tires

They had a room open we had never been in before and the kids spent a good hour there.  They had science experiments, costumes to dress up in and flight simulators.  The kids had such a good time and it was fun to spend time with cousins.

Father's Day

Andy always goes fishing a few days after father's day so that is always his present.  This year we wanted to make it a little more fun so we bought him a bunch of treats to take on his trip.  The boys decided to do a treasure hunt with clues to make it a little hard.  The best clue was the last clue, which was taped to Aaron's back.  He had been carrying him the whole time and never realized it.
Andy is such a good dad.  He loves his boys so much and is always willing to take them on an adventure.  He also is known to stop at A&W whenever Logan asks for a rootbeer float.  We love you Andy!!

He loves to wrestle!!

Swimming lessons

Alex decided this year that he was too big for swimming lessons so it was just Logan.  It was nice to be able to focus on just one lesson and take a zillion pictures.  Yes, I admit I have a problem.  Logan has no fear in the water and I am sure he gave his instructions heart attacks every lesson.  He learned a lot and I am more comfortable just letting him play.

First lesson

WEEEE!!!

Even Aaron enjoyed a few minutes in the water
