Aunt Erin (my sister) is FINALLY pregnant with her first baby, but has a boat-load of yard improvements needing completion before her cute little bundle is born. Jacklin Crew to the rescue! The boys did LOTS of digging. Kira and Ella "helped" with some digging. And I manned the auger. It was crazy, but tons of fun.

Who scans pictures when I can take a picture of the picture? Yep, I'm a bit ghetto sometimes. But these boys of ours keep getting more handsome every year.

I think this accurately displays this little lady's personality. She's the boss and makes sure EVERYONE knows it!

Andrew wants to be a K9 officer

Brandon wants to be a motorcycle mechanic

It's become a tradition for our friends to celebrate their son's birthday in July with a gigantic waterslide. The kids look forward to it every year. It didn't hurt that this year's party theme was Harry Potter with everyone receiving their own wands. I wish I had that kind of energy...

Now this is my idea of a summer playgroup! And it doesn't hurt to add in a couple of cousins.

What do you do in July when it's too stinkin' hot to play outside? You take your cousins to a trampoline park and get all sweaty!
