Summer Fun

Little So-so looking oh-so innocent.




Soph and Mama.


Our 2 cute kiddos.


Gavin and Sophia love to make little forts right here in the dining room which always includes the hopscotch tiles with their chairs on top and with lots of lots of toys to top it all off....


Gavy taking his seat in the fort as Sophia (the organizer....I wonder who she got that from:) brings everything else in and puts it in it's spot....


Soph tucking in her lambs right next to Gav.


I think this pic is so cute...after Sophie tucks in her animals next to Gavin, he just hangs out there with them as if he is watching them for her!




Sophia doing more organizing.


Both cars parked right outside the "house"

One night when Patrick was on his trip in the Boundary Waters, my very good friend, Steph and her son, Charlie came over for the night. We all had such a blast together and can't wait to do it again! This pic is of Steph and Gavin during dinner.

Sophia and Charlie eating dinner.

My little baby giving me a big smooch....he is such a sweeheart!

Soph giving Steph a kiss too!

Charlie and Soph playing "doctor" and Charlie is using the play scissors to cut Sophie's hair.

Mixing the batter.

Gav patiently waiting for brownies.

The kids playing a game on the computer together.

Gavin ready to jump in the pool.

We have enjoyed many of the hot days splashing in our pool outside. This is the last day that we used this pool. As you can see, it doesn't quite hold the water in like it used too...we have since purchased another pool.

The kids running across the yard to then jump in the pool.

Taking a snack break...
