#lazyhazycrazydaysofsummer

this summer, we've just been doing a whole bunch of nothin' much other than getting ready for baby.

we took a trip to the library...in hopes of encouraging some summer reading!

and, sometimes we pay our kids for reading with ice cream!!!

we spent our memorial day by grilling out and swimming with friends!

happy national doughnut day!!!

couldn't let that holiday slip by without a little celebration!

we spent a little time on the farm with lily and trace.

we also got to see lily play gub-gub in her community theater play of dr. doolittle.

the kids are being "forced" to do something creative everyday...i think, they just might start enjoying it! 

this sweet boy gave me a "nice" back massage with a hanger, a pillow, and a lego creation.  i know, you are so jealous!

these galactic starveyors had an exciting and fun week at vbs!!!

charlie just noticed my belly...he asked me why it looked like that.  ha!  i asked him why he thought it looked like that and he decided i had a ball in my tummy.  hmmm...not quite.

these kiddos (and their mommas) had a fun afternoon swimming together!

we celebrated aubs' birthday at the skating rink...these two "skated" a lot!!!  and had fun too! 

i think, we just may be ready to meet our new baby!

two more days and she should be here!!!

school's out for summer!

and we finished another school year!

grace had a great morning at her awards assembly!

and, i said good-bye to my crazy bunch of jitterbugs!

hello, sweet summertime!!!

we are ready for some lazy hazy crazy days of summer!
