Weeding the flower beds

Jonathan here with Annie our dog. She is so good with him and the Girls. She wants to get out and play. Instead Jonathan just ran up and down the fence line while Annie followed him. Too funny!

Jeremy and I have decided this summer that, if the Girls do something wrong that their punishment is weeding the flower beds. It's worked pretty well. It's amazing how many hours of weeding they can rack up in an afternoon. On the up side to that our flower beds look pretty good. Thanks Girls for keeping up on those pesty weeds!

They don't get too much done with all the bug collecting and friends that like to drop by.

Jonathan even likes to get in there and help. We have to keep the bugs away from him though. They think he's sweet. Than he ends up with swollen eyes! See below pics

Playing in the water

The kids love the neighborhood water park. Just a short drive and they can spend the day playing in the water. And the best part.... it's free!

Julia, Maia and Hannah think this is the coolest water fiture. They call

it the egg. And their favorite part about it is they can breathe under it!

Mowas, Bubbas, Wawa, Kaaka....New words!

Jonathan's favorite things..... the lawn mower, bubbles, vaccume, water, water hose, playing in the water, making a mess in the water. What a big helper!

Jonathan and I were out enjoying the nice summer evening, when a misquito bit him right on his eye brow. It made his eye swell shut for three days, darn bugs. Day one after bite.

Day two after bite

Lazy Days of Summer

Jonathan got his first real hair cut the other day. He looks so cute with his big boy cut. Here he is sitting like a big kid. Aunt Heidi did a great job!

Jonathan and I were hanging outside Sunday afternoon enjoying the nice weather. Here he is giving his mommy a kiss. I love you baby! Such a sweet boy.I too like to mess around with the camera. Maybe it's a little vain, but I liked how these turned out.
