Summer fun

OK, I totally need to play catch up! Lots of stuff happened this summer.
Let's see: We moved, I had a baby, we had home repairs and renovations, we had loads of family in town for Eli's blessing, My BF, Kelsie and her son visited, visited the farm, we had swim lessons, and play days, and a vacation to Syracuse for a wedding, we got to stay at Scott and Cort's new house, the list goes on and on. So here's some fun pics and videos to recap it all.
Enjoy!

  • We went to Ocean City, MD! (Mom has tons more pics but she still hasn't emailed them to me yet.)


  • Brotherly Love


Ammon had been kissing Zech to get his attention. Once he saw the camera, it was over!
  • We went to a ball game!
We went to a military night at the Blue Crab's Stadium to watch the military minor league team play. It was loads of fun. I hadn't been to a baseball game in years!
The 'uniforms' were ummm not impressive.

Aunt Nancy went with us!

Ammon was enthralled!

  • We went to the farm!
The boys each got to have a ride on Grumpa's new tractor

We went canoeing with Grumpa!


The boys are ready!


Sarah and Don went for a trip after the boys and I. What? Sarah is doing all the work!

  • The boys took swim lessons!

Zech's teacher was so nice!


He had sooo much fun!


Gabriel is saving her life!


This is a game they would play everyday called 'What time is it Mr. Fox?'. Gabe is the fox today.


Ammon and Gabe would play at the park while Zech was swimming!
  • Ammon got stung by a dirt-dobber! :(
Ammon happened to be the 3rd child to be stung in my backyard by a dirt dobber (those nasty huge black wasps that live in holes under the ground so you can never find their nests!) My 5 yr old nephew William was 1st, my friend Elizabeth's 3 yr old daughter was 2nd, and then Ammon. I gotta say, Ammie was the biggest champ of them all. He was so over it 5 mins later! What a big boy!
  • Zech's Lego audition for a Lego designer




He's such a stud! It is cut short b/c my battery died :(

  • Eli is growing into a chunk!


And that pretty much brings us up to the start of school. I love my family. I love our house, neighborhood, new friends, ward, etc. Life is good and I am blessed! Zech started school on Monday and Gabe starts PreK on the 31st. He can't stand that Zech is going without him! So, I'll post when I have both 1st day pics.
