Recap

Its been a while since my last blog update, but now seeing that I have a brand new laptop (thanks mom) I don't really have an excuse not too. Its theraputic for me and I suppose the people who REALLY want a look into my crazy life, can have a peek :)

Okay, since my last post a lot has happened! I will try to recap as much as I can remember....

Isaiah turned 3!!! We celebrated with a Veggie Tales party and lots of family and friends! He got his very first bike and still has yet to fully accompish riding it :)


 
 
We had our first family of 5 trip to the zoo. Good times!
 
We played with rockets...
 
We celebrated Easter...
 
 
 
We took our first family vacation to Wausau Wisconsin to see Veggie Tales LIVE! It was an awesome weekend that we enjoyed with our friends.
 
 
We stayed in a hotel with a water park. The boys could have lived there. It was a total blast!
 
 
Brynna wore her first bathing suit :)
We climbed a mountain with double strollers (not pictured) Surely the highlight of the trip.
 
Its was a successful trip! And yes, that is me nursing in the back of the van :)
 
Good times had by all :)
 
 
In May, we played in mud....
We played in our food...
And we played in the pool...
 
We ate ice cream....
 
And played at the park...
 
And played in boxes...
 
In June, we played at the park some more...
 
 
We painted toes
 
And met family...
 
We swam at the beach...
 
And in the pool...
 
We went on a nature walk....
 
and had a picnic with friends.
 
We had fun at the farm...
 
 
And fun with our hair :)

                                                                We played music
 
And played with our siblings...
 
 
We enjoyed time with friends
 
and enjoyed time with our cars.
 
 
In July, we had lots of fun outside! We celebrated America by going to parades and seeing fireworks! It was the HOTTEST month ever....and the same month our air conditioning broke :(
 
 
 
 
In the beginning of July, Carsten came down with a nasty virus that landed him back in the hospital with febrile seizures. Thankfully, this time we were ready for it and kept him as comfortable as possible.
 
Despite being sick, Carsten had a super fun 2nd Birthday!

and he got a new ride :)


                                               We took a trip to the science museum

                                                             And had lots of smiles



 We went to a lot of garage sales this year, and we found Isaiah his first skateboard. Thankfully, we have yet to make a trip to the ER because of it :)
                                                    

                                                     And Brynna learned to crawl
 
 
So far in August, we took a trip with Grampa and Grama to the train musuem.

                                                       We did some more swimming


                                                               And some walking

 
And some napping...
 
 
Its really been an awesome summer. Despite the unbearable heat at times, we got a chance to do some really fun things. I definetley have been stretched as a mom. I've learned that I CAN do things with the kids on my own and still have a good time. The kids are growing so fast and I'm so glad that they are at the age that we can start doing so many fun things. This was just a glimpse into everything we did this summer. There were so many more fun days that were had. I'm looking forward to summer ending and beginning a new season. Not just in the weather, but in our lives. We continue to leave every step of our lives up to God and we can't wait to see what He has planned for our family over the next few months!
 
And now for something random...
