Beach Babies

We have all enjoyed some days at the beach.  It's amazing how the kids become so easy going while we are there!  They are all sporting some great tans!

Beach Sledding

 Going to the beach is a production, made easier by the use of sleds.  One big toboggan and in this case, two baby sleds.  Maeve and cousin Michael enjoyed their rides!  (Bug and Bubba were already enjoying the lake!)

4th of July...a little late

 Nealy got to soak her feet, but couldn't get her head wet.  She still had her stitches!

We had a great 4th this year!  After an afternoon pool party, we hit up the fireworks downtown.  The kids all did well, Maeve would watch them while still having a death grip on me.  Bubba liked them, but thought they lasted too long!  Nealy was in awe the entire time!

 Does this face say mischief or what?

We took a weekend to visit family and friends in Pittsburgh, and got to enjoy a big block party.  The kids and their cousins had a great time running around all day.  It was a bit hot and hilly for this pregnant momma, but we managed just fine.

T-Ball

Wes and I had our first taste of being T-Ball parents this summer.  Nealy played on a coach pitch 5-6 year old league, and Bubba participated in T-Ball clinics.  We all learned a lot.  First of all, we will not do summer leagues again...WAY too hot!  We need better chairs, an umbrella to keep the sun away, and a ton more sun screen!

Practice Makes Perfect...sometimes :)

 Maeve's been practicing getting dressed all by herself. 

 Aidan has been practicing mowing the lawn...

 He really doesn't think Daddy can do it by himself...

 He even fueled up (with bubbles) his mower!

A Weekend Review

My little ones...and Maeve's camera face makes another showing!

Daddy trying to give a history lesson...it was too hot to be happy about listening to him.

 They would much rather climb a tree

A rare picture of Wes and me...and baby #4

It was a very busy weekend in DC!  We drove up on Friday night, spent Saturday morning walking the mall with the kids (not really a great idea given the heat, the fact I only have flip flops with me, and being pregnant)!  Then Saturday evening we went to Wes' cousin's wedding!  It was lots of fun seeing a lot of people we hadn't seen in quite a while.  The kids had a great time, and besides the fact that I was a bit nervous with the kids (mostly Maeve) at a roof top reception...it was a fun time!
