summer fun
since we technically have no home i decided to make the most of it and bounce around as much as possible this summer. we still have things to do and places to be around our "home" but for the most part we are free to roam. we've made several trips to the lake, stayed downtown and have been to the beach so far. i actually haven't unpacked our bags in almost a month. it's kind of nice! since our stuff is everywhere (and i do mean everywhere, we have stuff spread all over my parents' house, two PODS and one storage unit. i couldn't find something if i wanted to. if it's not packed in one of our overnight bags we'll see it when we move in to the new house. which, who knows when that will be...the brick mason quit last week so we have yet to see a single brick laid. not good when your whole house is brick.
so, to take our minds off of the house we packed up the car and headed to watercolr with some friends. 7 adults and 8 kids all in one beautiful house. we had a blast. we went to the beach every day, swam in the pool till dark and grilled out every night. i could get used to living that way. it was so fun having all the kids be together but really weird because for the first time our kids (the boys) were the oldest by a couple of years. i'm so used to having the "little" ones that is was really strange seeing my boys up at 10 pm and not wondering what was wrong. they were so good with all the little kids running around, it made me proud. they were referred to as "the brothers" and it was so sweet to see the little ones looking up to both carson and brooks. it sure made me feel old though. eh, oh well. i'll take feeling proud of how my kids are growing up over feeling old any day.
girlfriend found a love for shoes while on the trip. we now have a serious problem.

all 8 kids on the last night we were there. it poured on us trying to get some pictures done but it made for a cute group shot.
