August 2015

August was simply magical…lots of playing, laughing and sunshine filled our days

 LOTS of pool time! Ollie closed the pool down most days :)

 The kids celebrated their 8th, 6th and 3rd birthdays together with a Barbie princess/Super Mario Bros themed birthday bash!

 Some pretty storms rolled thru

 More beach and pool...

 We helped organized a Glow party for the summer staff- one of the best nights of the summer for sure! The kids helped set up and even worked the snack shop…is there anything more fun for an 8 year old?!

 Ginny got married!  Wes and I got to go up north and celebrate!

 Chapel was a highlight this summer

 We had an end of summer celebration with our friends!

 and completed the bucket list of camping…I convinced everyone that sleeping on the porch would be a great first camping experience…it was excellent judgment on my part ;)

This summer was a gift.  Joy, fun, friendships, health.  We were blessed and appreciated it all.  Thank you God for this season to recharge, reflect and enjoy your good gifts.

June-July 2015

Our summer was truly one of the best!  Before we got into the beach routine, Strat was able to help out some friends at Jonas Paul Eyewear.  He was simply adorable…I mean handsome :)

 Father's Day! We love this guy.

 First "Nature Find" of the season

 Gorgeous

 The kids did several sports camps thru Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

 Ollie's scooter skills advanced

 Feeding the ducks is a tradition

 We had visits from friends!

 Strat helped with the ladies fundraiser by starring in a video with his buddy!

 4th of July Parade!

 So much fun with our summer friends

and with cousins!!

 Celebrating GiGi's Birthday!

 We celebrated our 12th anniversary with Rachel and Cory!

 Jumped in the lake with our clothes on :)

 And played plenty of Super Mario Bros

 YAY for an awesome start to the summer!
