We've Been BUSY!

What a crazy past few weeks.  It has been busy but soo much fun! A few highlight from the past few weeks :)

4th of July/Parker's 2nd Birthday Party

4th of July weekend we headed down to Southern Illinois to celebrate the holiday as well as Parker's 2nd Birthday.  The kids loved being with "train" Grandma and Grandpa, as well as, swimming in the pool, jumping in a bounce house and having sparklers for the first time.  It's so fun to get the boys and Parker together to play.  It's crazy with 3 little one's running all over the place.  What would be do with peace and quiet anyway!

Most important...SWIMMING!

(Mason swimming by himself..such a BIG boy!!!)

This was a first for him.  He is soo excited to get to swim by himself! Can't believe he's old enough to do this but now he's our little fish.

Cousins!!

These two photos are my most favorite of the weekend!

What a group!

Our new addition to the family!

This past week we adopted Trudie, a 7-month old black lab.  The boys LOVE her and I love hearing them say her name!  She is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met.  She is so good with the boys, let's them lay all over her and even steal her toys.  She fits in so well with the family and has already taken a piece of all our hearts.  I'm sure there will be more posts of Trudie in the furture, but this is what she's been up to this week.

 Looks like Trudie already has Brad right where she wants him!

 Hugs!
