summer fun

we are loving our summer break!  especially me.  no getting up early to get anyone ready for school.  no rushing out the door.  no strict bedtimes.  i live for summer!  so far things are going good with this pregnancy (knock on wood) and i'm feeling pretty good.  i'm 23 weeks now and even though i can't fully enjoy summer (no "afternoon" drinks by the pool for this mama) i'm loving every minute of it.  the boys have remembered they know how to swim.  it took a few trips to the pool and possibly a few tears shed by all but in the end they both realized they could swim.  and now they don't want to stop!

we also had a visit from our family from chicago.  they boys were so excited to see brady, brooks has been talking about him coming since march.  they came for a whole week and the boys didn't stop moving the whole time.  we also loved having mackenzie here too.  brady's baby sister was a big hit with my boys and they were able to experience life with a little princess in the house.  i'm not sure they know what is coming!

my cousin linsey was also here and we were able to snap a few shots of the kids one day.  even though it ended with brooks getting a huge splinter in his foot and a thunderstorm chasing us back home, it was all worth it.

waiting for brady and family to arrive!

making some waves

my sweet boys

love this smile

sweet feet

carson and brady in their hats.  this was after poor brooks stepped on a very sharp and very large splinter which took us 3 days to get out.  he was screaming off to the side but brady and carson sure looked cute.

sweet baby kenzie.  what a doll!
