So Much to Say....

Okay. Dang. It has been way too long since I posted, too much has happened...ahh!! My brain is a little crazy right now and so, in an effort to help, I am going to just post some pics (from June) with brief descriptions in hopes of catching up a bit. I still owe a post on our California trip! And some fun activities I came away without photo documentation (what?!!! I know!) Anyway, here goes. Our life in pictures....

Kate playing with Grace (didn't get any other good pics of all the kiddos) when we were down in Decorah briefly to do a Face Time baby shower with our loved ones in Okinawa! Kate asked if we could take our boat to the ocean (which we had just seen) and drive over to see Tony and Tara:) So sweet. We told her that they were on the other side of the ocean when we were in Cali. 

Checking out Andy & Kylie's new (to-them) camper!! I didn't snap pics until they kids were fully worn out. They giggled and wrestled around in there forever. We can't wait to go camping with them!

Attitude. And soon after, she nose-planted off the bed. First good scar of the summer...check.

On a Sunday late morning/early afternoon we took the boat out for our first family ride of the season!! Had lunch at The Dirty Turtle. It was awesome.

We were getting a snack, apples with peanut butter. I left to do something for a sec and came back to this. "Mom, the apple is stuck!" She has her father's patience:)

Mr. Independent prefers to eat all by himself lately. With as many utensils as possible. And yes, that is cottage cheese above his eye. 

Our last day of soccer! One sweet little girl brought me flowers:) So cute. Collin is twisting the medal and slowly choking me...

Last game! Kate did great and scored a goal immediately!

My peeps!

Hopefully, I will soon sit down and knock out the California post and whatever else I am missing! I guess it is a good thing that so many fun and crazy things are happening to have the time to put down for posterity. Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather, we are!
