Summer Fun

Uncle Scott and Aunt Amanda's house has been a great hangout place this summer. We've loved getting together with our cousins and friends. Their house is perfect and has been such a great place to play. One afternoon we were able to get together with the Stevens and Sorensens for a fun afternoon playing in the yard, jumping on the tramp, and playing in the water. Grandma and Grandpa even stopped by for a little while to say hi.

Little Gideon loves to hold and play with baby Emily. He's always asking to hold her and trying to make her smile and laugh. He's a sweet little guy!

Amanda and I spent a good amount of time chasing after Matthew and Gideon and trying to keep them from running away. We finally were able to get them interested in a new game. They had fun pushing each other around in the big tonka truck. They're cute little cousins.

Love the underwear look.

Gideon, David and Matthew were able to get some time on the tramp together too. David was born in August, Matthew in October and Gideon in November, so it's pretty entertaining to watch these three 2-year old boys play together.

You can definitely tell that they played hard. By the time we got home, all four kids were asleep.

We sure love spending time with our cousins and family. We haven't had much time over the past years, and we're really looking forward to being a lot closer!
