Summer Loving~ What a week!

On June 18th, Tegan, Kelley and Layla flew home to Ohio!
We all were excited to see them!  I met Bri half way and picked up
Cayden and Mya since Bri was on call and couldn't get away to come
home.  Cayden and Mya came for the weekend and had to head home to be
in Cyle's step sister Amanda's wedding the following weekend.

Tegan, Kelley, Layla and Sarah were also in a wedding the following weekend~
my nephew Kevin's wedding to his beautiful fiancĂ© Amanda!  It was going to be
a busy two weeks!

First off~ June 19th was Tegan and Kelley's wedding anniversary!
We planned a Painting with a Twist Party!  Dave, Tim, Beckie, Meigan, Dennis, Tegan, Kelley and I
had a great time that night~ drinking wine and painting some art!


Tegan and Kelley then left for the bachelor and bachelorette parties!
This gave me the weekend with these 3 little gems!
Mya, Cayden and Layla sit and wait to the fish in the pond!

We brought the playhouse upstairs and the girls played non stop!


They wrestled their Papa non stop too!



We went swimming!





The girls shared so nice~
Layla is explaining to Mya just why its her turn to paint with water on
the sidewalk~  check out the hands on her hips!

Mya gives in and shares!!

We had nightly campfires!

Meme told some funny stories too!
Cayden had us laughing too!

These girls are so fun together!

Pirate and Princess~ It was a BLAST!

Cayden and Mya shared a Birthday Party together
this past weekend~ he turned 6, she turned 4!

A Pirate and Princess theme was chosen and 
we headed to Clear Lake Indiana to their Grandpa's
LINGER LONGER COTTAGE!

We started with Papa filling balloons with helium!

All the kids wanted to help!
I see Sam, Nick, Abby, Sarah, Abe, Andrew, Rachel and bits of
Cora and Cayden!

Then it was time for some Music In Motion~
Cayden invited the Hall kids, his cousins Mason, Anna, Sarah, Molly, and Julia and Mason!
We wished so bad that Layla could have come too!
We did some fun songs like Octopus and Little Fish...
Look at all the fish sleeping on a rock
in the bottom of the ocean!

Then we did the song PIRATE SHIP
and we all got eye patches!
