summer fast track

summer has been a whirlwind so far-we marveled at the girls in their first dance recital, we held our breath while grant pitched in ball games, we had a wonderful visit from amanda and her kids, and we celebrated father's day with our annual balloon photo shoot. the 3 big kids are currently in basketball camp and we are gearing up for a trip to the beach!

i don't know if we can call it relaxing-but we are getting the most out of everyday :)

bits of summer

splashing in ben's baby pool, the garden, searching for baseballs in the tall grass-and experimenting with a new camera lens. my boys and my girls. loving summer...

track meet

it was a great morning for a track meet. bobby entered the kids into several events-we had 4 1st place finishes in the race events! they all ran the 50m event and grant ran the 400m. ben was ready to compete-but did a great job cheering from the sidelines.
