Summer Parties!

These are some pictures from a party we had to kickoff the start to summer. The party was actually two weeks after school got out, but we wanted to wait until after Colton finished his camps. He had cub scout camp the first week of summer and then Camp Thurman the second week(the most awesome Christian day camp ever!)A lot of the boys at the party went to Camp Thurman with Colton so it was a perfect way to end their week. We rented a waterslide because it is so hot already and I didn't want 20 kids running in and out of my house. Luckily the waterslide was a hit and the kids stayed outside 95% of the time. The sandbox was also a big hit-I don't know what it is with kids, but they love mixing sand and water and making a big mess! I told Mike we need to start thinking about getting a pool put in now that the kids are starting to get older. It would definitely get a lot of use and we have plenty of yard for it. Maybe by next summer I will have him convinced:)

These next pictures are from a get together a few days ago at my friend Kristy's house. I love all the action shots of Carson and once again, what is it with kids and sand?? I also like Ashlyn's first "makeover" done by her 4 year old friend, Lydia. Isn't she just gorgeous-haha!

Pictures from Colton's Field Day. I think his favorite part was the tug of war!
