More Pictures!!

I finally got a roll of film developed, enjoy!

Ethan with the Spiderman cupcakes he helped us make! I think he had more fun decorating them than he did eating them.


Julia enjoying some watermelon!

Sean giving the kids a wheelbarrow ride, they loved it! The other two kids, Cameron and Christian are my sister Gina's boys.


Now a tripple-piggyback ride!! Hold on everyone!


Julia's first haircut! She didn't like it very much, can you tell?

This is the swing set that my parents got Julia for her 1st Birthday! Since our backyard isn't very level, we decided to level out an area for the swing set and put mulch in it. This is the BEFORE picture!

Working on it! Look at Ethan with his little shovel, he worked so hard that he broke the handle off of his shovel! This was the first of many days to finish this project. Bob, Sean's dad was there and helped out with some of the digging. Sean and I spent a lot of time leveling the ground, getting the boards in place, anchoring the swing set, putting a weedmat down, and then putting the mulch down. It took some hard work and a little more time than we thought it would, but it was worth it!

AFTER! With a cute boy in his shark costume to test it!


My handsome husband and our two beautiful children on Father's Day!


Three generations! Sean's dad Bob, Sean, and Ethan.



This was Ethan and Julia right before we left for Fun Country!







Tonight we went to Heather's last softball game of the official season. They won 14-4!!!! They are number one! Awesome job girls. Heather had some amazing catches to finish out the game! Go Heather! We were watching Cameron and Christian tonight for Gina. We brought the boys to the game, they had fun. After the game we went to ice cream. Then we brought the boys back to our house and Sean took them for another wheelbarrow ride and then he went in the kiddy pool and Spiderman sprinkler with them! Sean is a good uncle! Then we gave them showers and we watched SpongeBob and ate popcorn. We had fun!

A year ago at this time we were moving into our new house! Our first night in our new house was July 22nd! Wow does time fly by! Sean and I have had a great year in this house, minus the flood that is! But our first year as homeowners has been great, we have turned it into our home. We thank God all of the time for the awesome blessing that this house has been. It has really given us stability when other things such as jobs have been in question. We feel so blessed that we got a chance to be a part of such an amazing experience with Habitat for Humanity. It is such an awesome program and we are so thankful that our paths crossed!

Our 4th wedding anniversary is next Wednesday July 26th!

On a side note, how many people actually read this thing? I know my mother in-law and sister do, but I don't get many comments and am just wondering if I should keep blogging so much. Let me know! Thanks.

I read it Grace, and I love the pictures! Hope you're doing a scrapbook, too! Time goes by so fast and what a nice way to help preserve those wonderful family memories!

Also, thanks for the very nice, sincere words about your home and Habitat.
