summer catch up

i have to admit.... i love fall, but i'm just a little sad this summer is over. having megan this spring kept us somewhat homebound...... ok, more than normally homebound. last summer we went to the park and the pool a lot more, and it just didn't happen this year. not that we had a bad time. or as connor would say, "not at all!" i'm definitely looking forward to taking some good pictures of the kids when the fall colors really take shape.

i haven't blogged recently, and i'm sure that's facebook's fault. i started my blog so family could see current pictures of connor, but they're all on facebook so it's sometimes easier just to plop them on there. i do like blabbing on blogger though. i enjoy being able to tell my stories as silly and goofy as they are. and then poor nathan doesn't have to be bombarded when he gets home from work b/c i've already told the long version online.

there is one story that i'm working on though.... yeah, you know.... the squirrel. i'm going to finish that one soon and it will be a humdinger.

but here are some random fun pictures from summer. just a few. and don't forget to keep scrolling down to see pics from connor's birthday.


reading to frog in his new rocking chair... i have video of this that will be up later...too cute!





some days he loves reading. some days he can't sit still for 5 minutes!




does every big brother/sister do this? hilarious.





playing on daddy's old wagon





kissing his guns...what else?




freaking mommy out, jumping off his wagon





very funny, boys. :)
some kids that nathan had in class/soccer/knows from church took it upon themselves to set up a bedroom on our front lawn. karma, meet christina. i used to do stuff like this CONSTANTLY in high school. nathan went out to get in the car that morning and yelled, "CHRISTINA! this is your fault, you know?" haha! oh, kids these days.




hang on, dad, i wasn't finished reading that.




smiley girl





she loves to kick her legs up on this thing






and then she ends up getting squished down like this

hmmm..... i don't know, but i'm sure their parents are fine upstanding citizens that will appreciate whatever retribution comes their way. :) that is, once those little goofballs come back from mecca.

Thank you so much for putting the pics on! We love it so much. We are so amazed at how big Meg is getting. She is so cute ... so precious. We loved the video of Connor opening his box from us. Thank you soooo much for allowing us to watch that. What a blessing you are to us. This way we don't miss 'everything' and we are so grateful for the wonderful, sweet, beautiful daughter-in-law that you are to us. We love you all!
