Summer Time Fun

We are loving summer time!  We are enjoying a slower pace with less activities and more time to hang out with friends!

We finally found a Sunday that we would all be in church and there were no special events so the kids could join.
Two new members of Connect Church! 
We had a cookout and it was crazy and chaotic but we were glad to hang with the Boltons and Hutchens! 
We got the pool ready and the kids and Corey swam 
Ella took a picture of the sunset 
Sunny but cooler so we enjoyed some time outside 
Owen stayed with mom this week so we got to see him a lot.  
We took the kids to the library one day...
and ran into the Hutchens! 
Playing with Mammy outside

We are loving that Mammy is retired and we can see her during the day
