Fun While Mom's Away!

I have been volunteering up at school alot this past week. I left Adam in charge of Matthew and when I came home, this is what they had been doing. Mud Baths. They had hosed off before I could get my camera out and truely do them justice. They had such a good time.

Matthews Game

Matthew got tickets to an Evansville Otters baseball game so he took his dad and two friends and had a boy's night out. He LOVED it. They had so much fun and being minor league, they got to go out on the field and get their souv. signed by all the players and then run around the field. My baby's growing up!

Natalie

We had such a good time with Natalie. She has grown so much. It's sad not having her around all the time. The last picture is of her trying to wake Courtney up for church. She is such an angel!! (Courtney and Natalie)

4th of July Fun

We had the Lough's over to dinner while the Howells were here. We did sparklers and some fireworks for the kids. It was such a beautiful night!! Perfect for fireworks. Afterwards, we had a water fight with my boys. I think that Adam got the worst end between him but he knows how to dish it out! It's all good though :)

4th of July Parade

We went to the parade with Mike, Linda and Natalie. She loved the parade and them throwing the candy. Little kids are what makes it so fun!

Natalie

The Howells came in to visit for the 4th of July. This is Natalie meeting grandma's new kitten - she called it Max, but it hasn't been named yet.

Meeting Nathanial

Eric's cousin's Melissa and Rhonda and her baby Nathanial came in from North Carolina to visit. We got to meet him for the first time. He has the biggest, cutest smile!!! Adam was playing around with someone's sunglasses. Nathanial was baptized during his visit. This is him with the kids and their cousin Kyla. We ran into them at the 4th of July parade. He is just the cutest!

Adam in Hilton Head

While I was in Utah, Adam went with Lorren and her family to Hilton Head South Carolina. The first is on an Alligator (one of many)that they saw during their trip.

Them in the car on the way there.

Playing miniature golf and Adam playing the real thing.
