Owen and Avery's Wedding Reception

Golf

Max has been interested in golf lately. He has been riding his bike to the golf course to use the driving range and the putting green. He talked Chris and a friend from Agco into taking him for a full game last weekend. 

July

 We celebrated the 4th in YC with fireworks and fishing.

The kids went back later in the month for sleepovers, and they caught much bigger catfish. Max's was 8 pounds!

The rest of July was full of swimming lessons, playing with neighbors, H-Town camp for Natalie and Max, and our 14th wedding anniversary - all of which went unphotographed but thoroughly enjoyed! I hope to get back to somewhat regular blogging now that I'm caught up. Baby Sister will be here in early September, so we will have a lot to document!

Isabel's 6th Birthday!

June

 Max had a great baseball season!

Isabel had a lot of fun playing tee ball!

Natalie had fun at tennis camp, and we enjoyed watching her in the tournament on the last day.

Lots of swimming!

Natalie went to church camp for a week in the Colorado mountains. She had a wonderful time, and we were all excited to pick her up at the end of the week!

After we picked Natalie up from camp, we enjoyed some delicious pizza while listening to her stories from the week.

Natalie sold her hand-poured candles at the local farmers' market.

We hosted a bridal shower for Avery at our house.

Snow cone Tuesdays are back!
