June 2015

We have had a nice summer so far.  The month of June seemed to fly by.  
 Christian is practicing his cooking skills

 Jeremiah being his usual self.

 We went to the park and ran into some friends at the splash pad.

 More fun at the park

 Jeremiah picking some fresh strawberries.

 Abby

 Isaac found the perfect one!

 Christian is working on filling his basket.

 Time for the pool!

 Josh and I went shopping to get a birthday gift for Isaac.  Then he decided to ride a skateboard through the store.  
 After a VERY long drive we made it to NEW YORK!

 Fun times with family.

 The water was great!

 Finally getting the cast off!




 Abby went to a summer camp just for middle school girls- she had a great time!

 MONOPOLY

 Isaac learned to ride with no hands

 We tried to go to the pool but it rained, so they played in the rain instead.

Your May photo extravaganza!


May was a pretty busy month around here!  We started the month off with a trip to Turkey Run- one of my favorite Indiana State parks.

I found this sweet note from Jeremiah.  He learned a lot in preschool :)


Elijah enjoying the nice weather.


Heidi waiting for her moment to steal a tasty cheese stick from Jeremiah.



Showing off their big muscles.  


The graduate!  

Jeremiah and his friend Sophie


Oh no… Christian broke his arm.  

They had to reset the bone :(


Happy Mothers Day!  Jeremiah caught a frog.  

Just doing a little gardening.

Service project for school


Jeremiah helping Christian get his new waterproof cast.


Isaac made Principals list!  Straight A's all year!  (so did Abby!) 

Abby and her friends organized a fundraiser at school for the NEGU foundation.  They raised $650!  

When girls have sleepovers, strange things happen.


Jeremiah is clearly exhausted.


First day at the YMCA pool.  BRRRR it was COLD!


Jeremiah really wants this helmet.  He says it makes him look like a cool dude. 


We celebrated Josh's 38th birthday.  Wow!


Celebrating Isaac's 10th  birthday a little early with friends since we will be away.  

Time for gifts!


Growing up...

Basketball time

Lots of boys in one small space!

All that partying wore Josh out.
